The Temple of the Moon Rises
The Distorted God Apophis has already reached the location given to her by the Avatar of Babi. Her new form could be said as very alluring but the aura around her makes anything feel intense fear. It is said that darkness was the first source of fear for the primal living beings as it is something ancient and unknown.
The Sun God Ra and the Distorted God Apophis were such beings as they were the first born of their respective dimension. They were only known as Ra and Apophis back then as one appeared when the other came into being. No one was higher than the other as they were of equal standing.
They also fulfilled different duties as Ra was the one that wanted to create beings. In order for that to happen, one of them needed to seal away the darkness. As Apophis was the one that had the control over darkness itself, it decided that it will be the one to fulfill this duty.
