Millennia ago
He was young
Feared by friend and foe
Isolated and alone
He made a vow
Things would change
So he planned
He waited
He learnt all he could
His power grew
Until finally
It was too much
Cast aside
Stranded in the Above
He made a vow
All those who wronged him
All those who hurt him
Would suffer
And he would devour them
As news of his power spread
Many pledged themselves to him
Although no longer alone
He needed to devour them
All who had cast him aside
All who had ignored him
Would pay
Soon it grew too big
His hunger too much
Uncontained
He became more
More than anyone had been before
Filled with rage
He returned beneath
And he reigned
Years passed
Under his rule
The innocent prospered
The guilty and the betrayers withered
Still he grew
Too much for even his vessel to contain
He was released
His legacy continued
His followers awaited his return
As he watched
He hungered
Always there
Waiting
Wanting more
