Interlude: The Unfettered
There was one being that differed from any life-form that had ever existed. A revolutionary living weapon.
Researchers dreamed of creating such a creature, but they wouldn’t dare risk causing the untold devastation it could bring upon the world.
Upon its inception, the first thing it felt was intense, unbearable hunger. And yet, the intelligence it had been given eclipsed such primal instincts.
In the impenetrable darkness of a tiny metallic capsule, it forced itself to change. This was self-induced evolution, brought about as it adapted to the environment.
It took a long, long time, but eventually, its slimy, sticky body passed right through the sealed capsule. But it was blocked. There was a new barrier, made of something it could not penetrate, the worst kind it could’ve encountered.
So, it waited.
With its incredible intelligence, beyond that of any other magical creature—unthinkable for a being in liquid form—it knew that one day, that door would open.
It wasn’t long before that day finally came. The darkest creation of the Unfettered Alchemist, Erebus herself, was free.
