18- [Solomon's Eternal Night]

After the mysterious Goddess accepted the deal Solomon extended his hand to her and said.

"Drink my blood!"

Firstly she seemed a bit hesitant of sucking his blood but remembering the deal she bitted his hand, and because of her lack of appropriate tools to suck blood the best she could do was to lick the blood from the slowly "healing" wound, the way her tongue reminded Salomon of a quiet night's breeze made some weird thoughts arise at Solomon's head when the connection between them was formed Solomon started the next step of the ritual by biting her on the neck, when he started sucking her blood he acted like a desperate man lost in a desert for years who finally found water to drink.

"Stop!"

Solomon got out of his euphoric state and immediately apologized.

"Sorry, it was just too delicious to stop."

He was not lying at that moment he could taste her (Authority), not this world bastardized version of it, a true authority, it was locked but he could almost taste "Night" in her, looking at her sorry state he felt a little guilty her body was pale, her breath was ragged, but he had no time to lose now.

"You know what to do now."

The final step in the normal process of creation of a familiar would be to erase their "ego" but Solomon had a way better option right now, all thanks to the contract between the both of them.

Nodding with her head she walked in the direction of his shadow and slowly fused with it, at the moment she finished Solomon couldn't feel the sunlight irritating his skin anymore, at that moment all he could feel was the comfort of the night, it was like a lover's gentle hands caressing his head and whispering reassuring words in his ear, at that moment Solomon felt truly at peace, he knew that no matter what situation he found himself in he would always have a shelter.

"Thank you."

It was just a whisper but they both could understand, at that moment they had connected on an extremely high level, she was no longer just the primordial goddess of the night she was Solomon's shadow in almost every sense of the word...

"My name is Solomon what is yours?"

"Nyx."

"What they say about you and your brother is, you know, truth?"

Solomon couldn't contain his curiosity and asked.

"Do you know what is the cause of the curse of madness? Is the difference between human beliefs and our true "Origins!" When a god descends they will be immediately tainted by the human "faith" in an ideal of them, ideal that in the majority of the time is conflicting, a God in some cultures is an evil spirit in others, sometimes even Inside the same culture there are different visions of the same God, and as an instinctive act of defiance for having their existence forcefully distorted, they will lash out at all of those around them, becoming what you call Heretic gods."

"And?"

"The conception between primordial deities is more of a spiritual thing than a physical one, our children are more like our creations them our blood and flesh, after all in the original version I'm the night itself I have no flesh to give, the same happen to him, humans give us human-like appearances and minds because is easier to them relate to it in this way than by simply praying for something so abstract as the night itself."

When the connection was finally finished something "impossible" happened the "true Nyx" was extracted from the "realm of immortality." A true one? So the one in here is a fake? No! Normally when a god descends they don't fully materialize their true selves stay in the realm of immortality, there they act as mere concepts, clusters of information, then real individual entities, but now she was complete, all the information that composed her being, her "Origin" was manifested in the Mortal Realm at the moment her powers were still limited by this world laws to the level of a Heretic God, but she couldn't be considered one anymore from now on no Heretic god Nyx or any who share an aspect of Nyx would descend into this world ever again because she was simply removed from it's "database"...

Perceiving the change Nyx was shocked and almost dropped to the ground and started to cry.

"Thanks!"

"You don't need to thank me I got your back and you got mine."

Solomon was surprised by receiving a new skill notification.

[Familiars]

[Nyx(Divine Spirit)/Description:???]

[Author note: More information can be found in the new information chapter: Solomon-Familiars(SPOILER ALERT!!!)]

"Something you want to tell me?"

"I know that some of my "children" will surely come down to demand "answers" about what you have done to me."

She sounds extremely uncomfortable at calling them, her "children" once her human perspective as "Heretic God" fused with her "Origin" as a God she could feel how inhuman was her true existence before, like a mere computer software helping to regulate the world, and the worst of all, the Heretic gods that descend truly believe on their pre-existing autonomy, all that talk about the curse of madness and in the end Heretic gods can be considered more "human" than the original contra parts with little exceptions all gods barely have self-awareness and all her knowledge from before was thanks for the fact that before whatever happened to leave the gods left in the current state she was "strong" extremely "strong."

"Which ones?"

"The Keres, the embodiments of Violent Death."

"Nemesis, the embodiment of Revenge."

"Moros, the embodiment of Fate/Doom."

"Thanatos, the embodiment of Peaceful Death."

"Hypnos, the embodiment of Sleep."

"Hemera, the embodiment of Day."

"Those are the ones I am sure you will have to fight in the coming years."

And when she said that she was sure she didn't exaggerate, she really means it, the "true gods" are so predictable in nature that she could perfectly predict the next actions of those "related" to her with almost full accuracy.

She will need to explain all her discoveries to Solomon but is better to do it when he has much free time because that will be a very long talk...

Solomon looked at her mischievously and said.

"I can only expect you to have in your heart space enough to forgive me about what I going to do to your children."

"As long as you don't do any permanent damage to them, you can put the brats in their places." She said with a forced smile on her face.

Solomon noted the strained smile on her face but said nothing.

"Soo many enemies coming after my head, I can already expect fun years ahead of me!" Said Solomon with a bright smile.

"Nyx let's go home I have many things to do and have a bunch of pompous little shits that need to be put in their places!"
