A Shattered Halo and a Heavy Mantle

What happens when two individuals are pulled from their dichotomous corrupted world of superpowers and ancient magic with gods and beings from other dimensions into a world of to them lesser power that is only one type of power set called an enhancement a world of superpowers that hadn’t built to the level of the corruption of their own world has yet but was corrupted still just not on the edge of near constant Armageddon all the time so in comparison to their two new additions this place would be like a holiday world for them. What happens to this seemingly simple world of superpowers when two decidedly different people are forcefully shoved into their world one a Corrupt Hero at the top of the totem pole back home basically ruling the world and running both sides of the story a being of a completely different dimension human appearing but not human in the slightest and the other his genetically engineered son who carries the blessing of one of their worlds primordial gods half human and half something else but 100% feral disobedient little shit who will absolutely throw hands with beings seemingly far beyond him.

Prologue

Two siblings, Twins

One of light and creation the other of darkness and destruction

The ancient story of three powerful celestial beings

Zandaka, Balance… the father who'd been there before the beginning of the All

Kurayami, Darkness

and Akenomyōsei, Morning Star.

Balance's two sons formed the universe it bleeding to life from their very golden life blood the voids and shadows of space warping into existence from Kurayami and star fire falling from Akenomyōsei.

Kurayami was of darkness and destruction they'd created swirling endless voids and tempestuous cracks in reality that would slowly tear into the universe destroying what had been so recently created.

Akenomyōsei was of light and creation stars imploded into life and planets were carefully crafted life breathed into them from their own life force.

Kurayami was jealous of the beautiful iridescent Akenomyōsei and his candescent galaxies of stars and the planet's touched by the golden life blood of Akenomyōsei that had begun to teem with new forms of life that didn't bleed gold with flecks of pure white and or void black like they did the creatures all bled varying shades of colours that his brother had brought onto these worlds but they were all weak pitiful creatures that Kurayami couldn't understand why his brother would defile the universe they'd brought into existence with these creatures pathetic presence when it had been just fine with them and father as they had walked between the voids and the stars they'd created Akenomyōsei forming masses of odd materials together to form strange celestial bodies he called 'planet's'. Over time Kurayami the darkness had grown more and more jealous and resentful of his brothers creations. And eventually Akenomyōsei created the building blocks that formed humanity he coaxed their existence on and encouraged humanities growth Kurayami couldn't understand his brother's love towards these pathetic weak creatures that would turn to dust long before doing anything of worth in his opinion.

Kurayami didn't see what Akenomyōsei could see humanities ability for self-growth and their immense fortitude in his eyes his brother had insulted them to the highest order when he allowed these beasts to roam the perfect world his brother had made so painstakingly allowing them to ruin and defile it without a care in the world Kurayami had begun to hate humanity as they were slowly spreading like an infection over one of the good memories he has of his brother he'd watched from afar as his brother had formed the earth into existence painstakingly caring for the lifeless fireball it had first been until it became lush world full of sprawling colourful landscapes and mighty deep oceans he knew how proud his brother was about creating this hunk of rocks and metal. And Kurayami could only see that the humans were harming the planet and his brother by extension, so he deemed them blasphemous creatures that deserved to be purged from existence and so his tirade against his brother's creations started it started small at first taking out means of food and messing with soil nutrients that made the human's reap bad harvests to actively interfering and cutting short the chords of life linked some particularly blasphemous humans.

Akenomyōsei interfered on behalf of the humans Kurayami didn't understand why, these creatures deserved and needed to be purged he was doing the universe a favour by removing this blight on creation but his brother just couldn't seem to understand his perspective was the right one they argue trading words amongst the stars and Kurayami so certain he's the righteous one had snapped aggressively at his twin and his power fluctuated outwards ripping into the universe and had shattered the very first pair of binary stars Akenomyōsei had created they were representative of his relationship and comradery with his twin he'd created them as a gift for his brother and him to share he'd cared for them making sure their existence never faltered not even once even when younger stars had died out becoming something new these binary pair always remained revolving around each other an indication of his endless relationship and love for his twin. Akenomyōsei held the remains' of the once binary pair of stars his eyes had shimmered with tears of rage and grief as he'd clutched the shattered fragments in his hands, bright gold white eyes stare into void black and Akenomyōsei had wept for the loss of Umbra and Lux for the first time ever he'd looked upon Kurayami as if he's beyond words or saving he looks at him hurt… like he hated him. He bared his teeth in a snarl "you hate my creations so much you believe yourself so righteous and now you've done something you can never undo you destroyed my gift to you my symbol of endless love that I've kept burning since the very beginning!". Akenomyōsei had then shoved what remained of umbra at Kurayami rage and grief darkening the light twins irises to amber gold "if my gifts mean so little to you and your righteousness leads to their destruction… then I will never gift anything to you again!" he'd declared vehemently turning his back to his brother for the first time ever everything Kurayami had done had finally caught up to him in this moment and his sweet endlessly gentle and compassionate brother had snapped and he shouldn't blame anyone but himself that he was now all alone his brother's gentle warmth having been withdrawn from the voids of the universe leaving them bitterly cold and oh so very lonely…

Kurayami became even more bitterly jealous and hateful towards humanity and his twin so much so that he decided he would pull his twin down from the burning stars and colourful nebulas he was swimming through and he would make him feel the searing pain of being abandoned and betrayed by your other half Kurayami refused to believe he was the one in the wrong and so his bitterness and jealousy eventually consumed all that he is at and evolved into a full blown endless hatred for his twin brother with great sadness I'm sure one knows what had come next Akenomyōsei had been torn from all he'd known by Kurayami and tossed down into a realm outside of reality and time, trapped within the abyss Akenomyōsei was bound by his twin and multiple power draining sigil's to suffer in silence alone in a realm that had been created to put madness and insanity into reality, Akenomyōsei could never leave constrained and tied to the abyss physically the light twin could do nothing but watch as his brother lays waste to his creations in the physical world only able to ease the worlds pain when the world falls into slumber and his non physical body can leave the abyss. That's why humanity dream's it was Akenomyōsei's blessing his way of trying to make the physical world a little more bearable.

Meanwhile in the absence of his twin Kurayami has attempted to take his twin's mantle of responsibility to bare the weight of the cloak galaxies of stars that would trail behind his brother the crown of planets that sat heavily upon his brow never endingly at least until Kurayami broke the connection between the universe and his twin when he shattered the ever present blinding light halo that shimmered around the others head and cast him down banishing him… binding him to the abyss

At least until the reincarnation or vessel... how ever you wanna look at it
