Beings of the void Part 2
Tentil, Kraton’s opposite, is everything that is evil. Anger consumed his being, for he hated Kraton. Without Kraton he would not exist, and this only engorged his Ire. Jealousy birthed this bottomless hatred, a jealousy for that fact that Kraton had existed before himself, and his actions lead to his birth. He wished to prove himself stronger than Kraton, and erase him from existence. To seed doubt, fear and evil into Kraton’s creation is how he wished to usurp his rival.
Tentil was spawned with ignorance, and he was frustrated only knowing what Kraton had presented him with. He would wait and watch the men, the beasts, and Kraton’s servants roam Keardas until he could pierce the hearts and minds of them. As the ages went on his hatred yet grew more as men became emboldened and befriended the servants of Kraton. The men seemed mesmerized by these powerful beings and their bonds of friendship grew.
There came a time when Tentil fashioned himself as a shining and beautiful woman, in an attempt to lure the servants of Kraton. Many were wary of this unknown beauty and fled from her path, but of the trusting servants, Dolnor, the watcher of the caves, was entranced by Tentil and left his duties to follow her. She led him deeper and ever deeper into the forests of the wild. Dolnor eventually caught her by the arm wishing to end the chase. Now lured and alone, Tentil struck him down. The once beautiful woman shot into the tree tops as a dreadful shadow, swirling and blinding Dolnor. A continuous echo filled his mind and drove him to insanity. Dolnor struggled with the shadow and deafening echo which seemed never-ending.
Defeated, Dolnor lay there in a trance, dead-like, and afraid. Tentil knew that fear was one of the most powerful tools in his arsenal, and it would be his greatest ploy against the servants of Kraton and men alike. Tentil spoke to Dolnor telling him that he would give him great power and let him live if he would serve him until the final struggle between Kraton and himself. Afraid of death and pain Dolnor pledged himself to Tentil, pleading for mercy and life.
Tentil laughed and knew his power from that point would only grow. He damned Dolnor and buried him in the bowels of the earth, the fate that he himself was born with. Tentil twisted Kraton’s creation into a horrid and deathly serpent, ferocious and full of hatred. He appointed Dolnor to crawl through the earth hidden. He then cursed him saying, “You will be a scourge to this earth, commanded by me. Instill my fear into men and your brethren. Forever hate and fear me, my slave, my minion, my pet, or die.”
Dolnor, the great wyrm of the earth, laid dormant as his hatred grew. He hated life itself, for he wished his would end. He hated his master but feared him more. His only wish was to destroy him, but his fear was too great to overcome it. Forever he plotted against the servants of Kraton, destroying them when he had the chance and delivering those weak of heart to be twisted by Tentil himself. Dolnor was the first Demon and the most powerful dread Tentil twisted into existence.
