In the realm of the Chaos Gods, Alastor was known as the god of deception and trickery. He was the one who reveled in the chaos that humans created for themselves. However, Alastor's power was dependent on the faith of mortals who worshiped him. Without their sacrifices, he would become weak and fade away into nothingness.
One day, a tyrant king named Alexzander came to power in a small kingdom. He had heard of Alastor and his powers and decided to use it to his advantage. He went to Alastor's temple every day, but he didn't make any offerings or sacrifices. Instead, he threatened the high priest and the disciples, telling them that if they didn't follow his orders, he would destroy the temple and all those who were inside it.
Alastor found this amusing. He had all his trust in his high priest and his disciples. He knew that they would continue to make sacrifices to him, regardless of the king's threats. However, things took a turn for the worse when Alexzander decided to take matters into his own hands. He went to the town square one day, accompanied by a mortal woman who was dear to Alastor. He stood in front of the people and announced that if they didn't stop sacrificing things to Alastor, he would kill the woman right there in front of them. The townspeople didn't believe him, and they continued to make sacrifices to Alastor.
Alastor grew worried. He knew that if the king killed the woman, his power would diminish, and he would eventually fade away. However, he also knew that he couldn't interfere with mortal affairs. He could only watch as the events unfolded.
Alexzander grew angrier by the day. He summoned every townspeople to his castle and said, "Because none of you believed me, I shall kill this woman dear to your false god." And he did. He killed her right there in front of everyone. The townspeople grew scared of what Alastor would do next, but he didn't do anything. His disciples thought he was weak when nothing had happened. Alastor watched as they stopped giving him sacrifices, and he grew weaker with guilt and sorrow.
Before Alastor was doomed to eternal slumber, Alexzander visited his temple. He made a mockery of the god before leaving him to rot. "You see, Alastor," he said. "You are nothing without your worshippers. They are the ones who give you power. And now that they have stopped, you are nothing but a foul memory."
Alastor knew that the king was right. He had depended too much on his worshippers, and now that they had abandoned him, he was nothing. He faded away, leaving nothing behind but his memory. The town went back to living their lives without fear of the Chaos God's wrath. As for Alexzander, he continued to rule the kingdom with an iron fist. He had no remorse for killing the mortal woman or for mocking Alastor. He was a tyrant, and he would do anything to stay in power. But deep down, he knew that he had made a powerful enemy. And he wondered if Alastor would ever come back to seek revenge.
And he would. Not to him no. To his future ancestors with the help of a little High Priest that would soon awaken him and have lots of consequences.
