Third POV

Selothis sat alone in the dimly lit room surrounded by shadows. Shadows which comforted him and also brought him angst. They demanded revenge. Had been demanding it from centuries. His dark, cold eyes stared out into the nothingness as he thought about the past, about the battle that had changed everything. The battle between him and the Moon Goddess.

All he wanted was to take control of her empire, make her his mate, and then rule the world. But the goddess didn't succumb to his charms or his threats. Instead, she challenged him. For a battle.

He remembered the day he was cast out of the heavens like it was yesterday. The Moon Goddess, with her power and light and magic at her fingertips, defeated him, sending him to a dark, forgotten place. She had sealed him in a way that he could never return to his kingdom, where he once ruled. It was a battle that left him wounded. But wounds were never an issue with him because the wound healed. It was the anger, the humiliation and the fact that he was defeated by a woman that made him mad. She had sent him away to the deepest depths of earth. But he had finally emerged after battling with evil forces, and ever since then, he had been waiting plotting, but growing weaker in the shadows. His magic was dying.

His only desire was revenge. He had waited for centuries for the time when he could finally rise again. The only way back to his world was blood of her direct descendants. Ones she had carefully hidden in this realm. He knew that they were born from time to time. He had sent out his minions to search for them, but they returned empty handed. Without their blood, he would remain in the dark, unable to reclaim the power and dominion he once enjoyed.

He sat there, drinking whiskey, thinking of how many more years he had to stay. The cold room felt suffocating, and as the shadows danced around him, he found it oddly comforting. Somehow, the dark God, knew that the time to sacrifice the bloodline was coming soon. And he was so prepared. He had already set hos plan into motion.

Selothis had made a cult of his own. His loyal followers who served him without question. He had that power on him. He recruited them, using their weakness, and then turned them into fanatics. Because they would be the ones who would help him achieve his goal. In this world, they were his eyes, his hands and did everything he commanded. They feared him. After years of creating this cult, he was now revered as undisputable head. The only way they didn't know his true face was because it was mandatory for everyone to hide their faces behind masks. Only he knew the real faces of his cult members, and he revealed his face to them only once, during indoctrination. After that no one saw it.
