The beginning of everything

Eurasia, Near East, Babylon, Paleo-Babylonian Empire, Babylon(City).

Men tilled the soil together with the Animals, while commoner teenagers in the field guided herds of sheep with their staff, in the Houses Women, whether mothers or daughters, cooked and cleaned the house.

In one of these Houses, which were simple cubes of raw brick faced with mud, a small, tender boy, dressed in a tunic with short sleeves reaching his shoulders and wearing shoes made of rawhide on his feet bound by thongs, of dark tanned skin, long wavy black hair, and blue eyes, was playing in the field around the house with another boy, who had wavy hair also long but blond, and fair skin, and blue eyes; the Two played armed combat.

The Blonde Boy, repeatedly shocked his wooden sword against the first boy's stick, who, upon receiving the wooden shocks, displaced his stick and circled it through the Blonde's arms, while stretching his waist, soon after extending his arm that wielded the stick in a horizontal motion, performing a horizontal slash while vertically moving his free arm to defend against Blondie's strongest sword shocks, thus creating an oblique angle motion, shocking the stick violently in an oblique slash, tearing the stick to pieces. Blonde's wooden sword and hitting him in the region of both the sides of the body and the neck in a quick movement, disorienting the Blonde and knocking him to the ground.

With the Stick pointed at the Blonde's face, and a serious look, which terrified the Blonde, who, with fear, shuddered and almost cried.

"Stand up or Die.", Said the Winning Boy, in a mock adult tone, imitating a soldier, forcing his voice to grow deeper.

Blondie, in turn, after 10 minutes of terror, finally awakens from his trance and assumes a confused expression, thinking of all the possibilities for that military sentence to exist, but not finding it.

When he finally reasoned, the Blonde laughed out loud, and the winning Boy did too, however, right after, the Blonde punched his head in a shell.

"IDIOT!", he shouted embarrassed and at the same time irritated.

"Ah, what is it? Is the Great "King of the North" ashamed?", mocked the winning Boy, rising to his feet.

"The right thing is 'Kneel or Die', don't you dare imitate that phrase again!", Shouted the Blonde, pointing his finger at the other.

"Hey Boys!!!!", suddenly, the two boys hear a serious voice, and when looking back, they see a Soldier appear and approach them, smiling at the two.

"Lord Baltummesh!!", They spoke in unison, admired and surprised, when they identified the Soldier.

"Hey, Kid, How about serving the King as a soldier?" offered Baltummesh, smiling proudly.

"You would be a great addition to the army, with your apparent excellent combat and sword skills.", He declared smiling.

Before the Boy could answer, a voice shouted from inside the house:

"Belmesh, Labbusag, Come Eat!!!", announced the Voice.

The Two Boys turn to Baltummesh, and bow at his waist in respect, and then say goodbye, saying:

"Sorry, Mister Baltummesh, we need to attend to our mother's need, we'll think about your proposal.", With that, the two run into the house, and close the door carefully, leaving Baltummesh behind.

Baltummesh follows his path, directing soldiers walking through the field.

[....]Belmesh and Labbusag's house (Winner Boy and Blonde Boy).

"Mom, is Daddy coming today?", asked Belmesh, with a depressed and hurt look, and tears in his eyes, staring at his mother with a trace of hope in his desolate and bitter eyes, and when he saw the Mother lower her head, he punches the wooden plate, smashing it into pieces with his strength, and shaking the table.

"Answer!!!!!", shouted Belmesh, distressed.

"Bel', calm down, please....", implored Labbusag, crying a lot.

"You're always on Mommy's side, aren't you brother!!!!!! You may have played with me at that time, but you never supported me like a brother should!!!!", He shouted, jumping on the table, and grabbing the head of Labbusag, knocking him into the chair with a push, and pulling him by the hair, making both roll on the floor.

"s-son.....", stammered the mother, crying, looking at the fight, horrified.

Suddenly, the door is forced open, and Hammurabi appears, drunk, staggering and practically falling without guidance, whispering noises, and raising his left arm high which is holding a Clay Mug.

"My King, come and eat, please.....", with a last hope, the Mother attends to her king, approaching him and lifting him, while crying.

"Grrrr, Let Me Go Woman!!!!!", Exclaimed Drunk, punching Mother in the face, knocking her to the ground as she danced laughing maniacally.

The Mother, in turn, cried a lot, while trying to rise, but Hammurabi sees her, and Kicks her skull sideways, making her hit her head on one of the arms of the table, causing her face to be crushed and thus spitting blood and spilling blood nose while crying.

Hammurabi then says:

"Be Quiet, Woman, go to sleep.", He ordered in a drunken and Furious tone.

The two boys looked on in horror as they watched their mother pass out from the pain.

Horrified, Belmesh didn't even wait for Hammurabi to turn to his mother, who was still unconscious.

"NO! PLEASE NO!!!!", screamed Belmesh, pleading and crying.

Hammurabi ignored it, and kicked the Mother's stomach, which Spits Blood when waking up abruptly, and when it recovers and awakens, it feels the Sword of Hammurabi pierce its skull, where Hammurabi laughs sadistically, and cuts the body of the Mother of its children in half, spilling a sea of ​​blood when seeing her dead.

Horrified, Belmesh, pulled a Knife from Hammurabi's pocket, and tried to cut off Hammurabi's head, but Hammurabi, looks at him with contempt, and pierces Belmesh's knee with the Sword, causing blood to spurt from the body region, and making Belmesh spit Blood , and fall to the ground prostrate.

Hammurabi, with disdain in his gaze, Kicks the Skull of Belmesh frontally, as he speaks:

"You're not worth killing... I can't believe Baltummesh came to tell me about you.", with that, Hammurabi approached the door, however, as he turned his back, he felt a Knife pierce his stomach, just like that. Spitting blood, and gushing blood from the abdomen, then, when turning his head back, he sees Belmesh with the knife stuck, smiling devilishly.

"See you later, Papa.....", declared Belmesh, watching Hammurabi fall into Coma.

3 days later:

After all this time, Hammurabi finally wakes up from his coma.

Lying on a wooden bed, he observes that he is in his Palace, and sees that it was his doctors who attended to him.

"Do you feel better, My King?", Asked one of the Doctors, worried.

"Yes.", he replied dryly, with contempt in his eyes.

When trying to get up, Hammurabi feels a great pain in his abdomen, and screams in horror.

"Perhaps.....I was cursed by the Gods.", thought Hammurabi.

2 weeks later:

After resting for 2 weeks, Hammurabi rose as King again, and declared to the entire Babylonian empire, saying:

"Whoever finds Belmesh, the Traitor, and brings him to me, I will give the Reward of 5 thousand Shekels! and I will allow him to be Deified by the Priests!!!!", With that, Countless Soldiers advanced with their horses through the Mesopotamian countryside, looking for any vestige of Belmesh.

2 months later:

"YOU HAVEN'T FOUND HIM YET?!!" shouted Hammurabi, irritated, throwing a golden Cup at a soldier's skull.

"But, Lord,.....", he tried to speak.

" 'BUT' NOTHING, I WANT BELMESH ON MY TABLE, AND THAT'S IT!!!", He shouted Furious, grabbing the Soldier by the Collar.

"Have him killed.", Ordered Hammurabi, to the Priests.

"What?", shocked, the Soldier Looks Horrified at his King, as he is condemned.

So, a few minutes later, there is the sound of a man screaming for his life, and having his head cut off.

Meanwhile, deep in a forest, deep in the Mesopotamian Border with Egypt, there was a Belmesh, malnourished and dehydrated, with a lifeless look or emotions, empty inside.

Having survived by tasting only vegetable fiber, Belmesh was greatly weakened.

Then, suddenly, an Egyptian finds him, and takes him to Pharaoh, who, with a look of contempt, sends a letter to Hammurabi.

Thus, after about 11 days, Hammurabi appears with 900 armed men on horses, where Pharaoh was waiting for him in the Desert, and delivered Belmesh.

Satisfied, Hammurabi paid 5,000 shekels to the Egyptian who found Belmesh, and who had fed him for all those 11 days in Egypt.

So Hammurabi declares, on reaching Babylon, that Belmesh was a criminal, and casts him into dungeons.

8 Years Later:

After being Tortured in every way, whether beaten or deformed by Baton blows, Belmesh wakes up, hearing a Slave open the wooden gates of the Dungeon, and with his extremely tired and heavy eyes, seeing that in the background outside the dungeon there was Hammurabi charred on a wooden bed raised by a Troop of soldiers.

"Please help us!!!", begged the Servant, crying in horror.

"And why should I?", he questioned in a weak voice, being revealed that he was malnourished, dehydrated, naked and full of deep scars and holes in his body, while looking at the Slave with an empty look.

"The...The...THE DRAGONS ARE ATTACKING!!!", he shouted in a warning statement, horrified.

Before Belmesh can laugh at the apparent news, the Castle is suddenly ripped apart by the claws of a Gigantic Monster, revealed to be a Dragon.

Released from his chains by the destruction, and plummeting through the wreckage, Belmesh watches the Dragon Roar, as the Dragon fires a blast of air from its Mouth.

The Explosion is so strong and powerful, that it completely destroys the City, and still completely devastates the territory of the Paleo-Babylonian empire, making the entire Babylonian region shake like an earthquake, shaking the entire Mesopotamia.

Sent kilometers away, having brutally crossed different environments, Belmesh falls into the territory of the Levant region, more precisely in Canaan, specifically in the city called Jericho.

Having Crossed the Walls of Jericho, and destroyed them, Belmesh falls to the ground of the said Land of the Canaanites, sprawled on the ground and bloodied, with countless organs destroyed and bones broken.

Rising through a supernatural force that was awakened in his body, Belmesh, with eyes glowing crimson, crosses the entire distance in 1 second in the form of a flash of speed, where upon reaching the Dragon, he reappears as a blur, punching the Dragon in the face, shooting it for miles ahead.

The Dragon, upon realizing that it has been pushed aside, spreads its wings and sways them, thus shaking the ground so that the region of Mesopotamia and the Southern Levant suffer tremendous shock pressure and collide into each other, thus being unified by the forcible approach. of tectonic plates caused by pressure.

Thus, with that, The Dragon approached Belmesh in just 2 centimeters.

Even though his face is bleeding, the Dragon Roars, spitting out an explosion of thunder and flame, which devastates the entire ground, and shoots Belmesh away.

Belmesh, even injured, buried, dehydrated and malnourished, still gets up, but the Dragon appears at the same time and pierces his stomach with its claws, poisoning him and brutally perforating him.

Still, Belmesh hits him in the skull with a kick, sending him flying.

And So, he smiles excitedly, taking out an experimental bottle that his mother always advised him to take, and opening it with his mouth, and drinking it in one gulp, thus having his physiology and Anatomy restored, assuming a muscular and physically improved body .

"It seems that the Legends my Mother spoke were true....", Belmesh declared, laughing.

Having survived all these years, and all this battle, Belmesh laughs and shouts:

"COME UP, BIG GUY!", with that, Belmesh and the Dragon charged towards each other...

My name is Belmesh, the Son of Hammurabi.....

But you can call me....

The Herodemon.
