I was a thing that lived in the dark. A thing that was born and molded in the dark. That was an outcast by my kin because I wanted to protect what was left of the creatures that originated on the surface. Protect them from the things that came from deep beneath the surface. Protect them from the things that lived in the light. Protect them from my kin in the dark. Humans, as their curious selves, broke the old protective barriers around the world that kept us all at bay. They flew too high and brought some of the light back with them. They dug too deep and released those beneath the surface. They played too much with their spirit boards and let loose my kin. In my desperation, I called out to obe of them. One who had a goodness within. That sense of goodness kept me grounded. Kept me from returning to the chaos of my kin. Made it to where I could truly help. The human and I bonded. We then found some others who had made bonds. A human that hosted one from the light. Two human children that hosted ones from beneath the surface. The four of us did our best to fight off the others and push them back behind their boundaries. All while I fought against the chaos of my nature. All while my host did his best to be my calm. My conscience. But then the one hosting our ally of the light... She was captured by those who came from beneath. And they forced a being from beneath to push the one of light into self-destruction. Killing her and her host. Which sent me over the edge. My chaos darted through my veins. It fogged my vision. The creatures who faced us laughed. The children with us trembled. My host was almost as enraged as I was. I could feel the chaos at my fingertips. Then I awoke.
