this is my story.
October 26
Unknown Year
Tower Outskirts
Universe 26179
Status of Universe at the time of file creation: STABLE
Status of Universe currently: TERMINATED
Rav walked through the heavily falling snow, his winter cloak held tight against his body. The wind whipped across his face, nearly making his scarf go flying. The Solar Eclipse in Universe 26179 had been going strong for six months until the Sun drifted away from the Moon, about two weeks ago. It didn't really get Rav's attention all that much. He had other, more important universes to oversee at the time. It only became interesting to him when the Overseer of 26179 reported that something odd had happened with the Eclipse. So, here Rav was. He followed a trail of footprints he knew were too big for any being other than a Titan. The footprints, stained with dark, amethyst-colored blood went deeper into the blizzard. If someone was wounded, they wouldn't last very long in this weather.
Looking into the sky, Rav saw the Moon, moving one way, then another. He knew that the Penumbras in 26179 would have the most control over it. The Lunar Servants could control it a bit, but not too much. The footprints he was following suddenly turned into skid marks, as if the person making them fell over and had to drag themselves across the snow. The blood stains became more in quantity, and were no longer frozen. When Rav picked up a ball of snow and touched the near-frozen blood, it disintegrated into a small ball of violet light, before fizzling out. That confirmed it. It was a Lunar Titan.
While walking, Rav decided to keep some Lunar energy, for experiments. Before long, he could hear two voices coming from the cold.
"whhyyyy... why didddd.. iii.. herr.... happpeennn..."
"Penumbras, it's fine, I can help! I just need some time!"
A familiar woosh passed over Rav's head. He could make out the wings of Frost Spirit soaring into the air through the snow. Peering around the corner, he flinched. Penumbras was there, dragged up against some supply crates. He was missing all but one of his eyes, the others had been torn out. His Penumbra was dim, not shining like it usually was. Part of his leg had been atomized. That would explain why there were only 3 footprints that he was following. Two of his horns had been snapped, broken by something. He kept slurring nonsensical sentences with his barely-functional voice. 26179's Penumbras was dying, and Rav had no idea why. His remaining eye, with blurry but still working vision, saw Rav. His hand clutched a stab wound on his chest as he attemped to speak.
"whhooo.. wwaitt... you.. you are..."
Penumbras groaned as he began to shiver.
"youu.. you are.. you are the darknesss.. come to consume me..."
Rav felt sort of compassionate for him. He didn't even know what happened to him. Clearly, something bad. Then, a single thought came into Rav's mind.
'Wait.. 2. I rescued him from 17427. I can save this 26179 too.'
A flapping of wings made Rav come to his senses.
"Stop right there! What do you think you're doing?"
"frrosttt..? whhatt iss happennning...?"
The Frost Spirit knew Penumbras was weak at the moment. Anything that human could do would easily kill him.
'I will take on this human. To protect Pen. I'd be suprised if he could even land a hit on me.' He thought.
Rasing his scythe, Frost Spirit advanced on Rav.
"I don't know what you want to do, but I will not allow it. Stay away from him."
As he raised his scythe to strike, Rav dissapeared. Frost Spirit stopped his scythe raise in response. Staring where the human was in confusion, Frost was about to walk back to Penumbras when he felt a sword going through the back of his hood. Frost could feel blood welling on the back of his head. The human then appeared in front of him, only to dash underneath his raised arm and run his blade through Frost's arm. With a screech, Frost dropped his scythe. Teleporting in front of the bleeding Ice Titan again, he raised Frost Spirit's drooped head using the nonsharp end of his sword.
"Look, pal. I heard that something odd was going on here from an agent of mine. I found it. Him." Pointing to Penumbras, he turned around and began to walk toward him. Grunting, Frost Spirit silently got up, picked up his scythe, flew has quietly as he could, and raised his scythe. Right as it came down, Rav spun around and blocked the weapon with his sword. Bashing his sword into Frost's face, who was knocked back, a black, tentacle-like substance wrapped itself around Rav's blade arm as he walked toward the stunned Spirit. Yet, as the Spirit regained his senses, it was not only around his arm. It had wrapped around Rav's face and was forming a humanoid who was standing beside him.
Frost Spirit decided to use his last resort. With a war cry, he picked up his scythe and dashed toward Rav. He jumped, and Rav stopped walking. He spotted an underdefended part of Frost Spirit's weapon. He took advantage of that. Slashing his weapon as hard as he could at the angle, the scythe was flung out of the Spirit's hands. He was now falling directly onto Rav.
And that gave him a perfect opportunity to sink his blade through the angel's chest.
Tossing the bleeding angel to the side, Rav fell to the ground as he fought the parasite for control of his body.
"Stringer.. you bastard..! Leave me alone!"
Falling to the ground, Rav noticed that Penumbras had passed out from blood loss.
With unsteady feet, Rav walked over to Penumbras.
"I will save your life. I do not know what caused your injuries. You will become one of us."
"You will become Six."

Frost Spirit groaned. Awaking, he noticed the saber in his chest. Tearing it out, he thought a few things.
'I.. Need to be healed.'
'Who.. Who was that?'
'I'm sorry, Penumbras. I don't know where they took you. And I'm sorry, Mistress. I hope you had a good life. The infection got to you before we could. Rest in Peace.'
But most of all, he thought;
'What really happened there? Who was that humanoid? What was that sword..'
'I.. I should get back to the Outpost.'
***
i'm back. it's me, six. that's my story. i'm a penumbras. rav saved me from certain death. even if he didn't intervene, frost couldn't have saved me. and.. mistress.. i'm sorry. i hope you're in a better place.
