Oblivion

In these white sands, where a hollow wind blows across the dunes, life stirs in some strange way. Strange insects scurry, twisted animals stalk, and worst among them lies underneath, the spawn of the serpent waits for a terrible rain. But worse yet is what was once human, once Nix, now something else, twisted by the sands beyond recognition. And among these twisted is a feral king above the others. He once had a name, but now he is simply the Alto Diablos, the "Great Devil" of the sands.

Diablos served the previous lord, Halloesh's father, until he sought to make himself an usurper, a revolutionary for his fellow Nix. It was the then younger Halloesh who brought his undoing, striking him down and revealing his plots before his father. He wouldn't be executed, no, far too simple, he would face exile, to live or die in the cruel sands, to feed on the twisted beasts or starve. It changed him, and he became more twisted, and he forgot even his humanity. What still lingers, however, is hate.

"Are you satisfied to sleep forever, oh king of beasts?" OttO's voice calls out, as he appears atop a large dune. The sands shudder and a bulge beneath the sands rises, falls, and grow still again. "Have you fallen so low, devil? Where's your pride? You once sought to bring change, and now you are satisfied to slumber? Perhaps the name Halloesh..."

The sands shake, the bulge beneath the sands rises, and there's a rumble. A large hand emerges, gray skin with long black nails, hardened with chitinous plates, and a form, tall and horrible pulls itself free of the sands, sand pouring off it. A silhouette of a horned head is seen, one broken off. It breathes heavily, resting on its knuckles as it bends over looking down at OttO.

"Ah, so you are awa-" OttO begins, before Diablos quickly raises and brings down its fist upon him, and impact so hard and thunderous it sends ripples across the sand. He raises his fist and looks underneath it to see the crushed body of OttO only to find nothing there. He grunts in confusion.

"Did you know that Halloesh is now lord?" OttO continues, prodding the already angry giant.

"Halloesh..?" Diablos utters, before he audibly clenches his teeth and growls, the most human remaining aspect of him. He raises his head and howls out, his voice growing guttural. "Ȟ̶̤ã̷͚l̵̝̚ľ̵͚ŏ̸̬e̶̘͛s̶̠̀h̴͇͐!̴̣̊"

"Ah yes, you do remember, don't you?" OttO says, now standing upon Diablos's head. "And look, accursed servants of his have entered your domain. You cannot allow yourself to be ousted once again, can you?"
