The Beginning of Family Ayalon.

The young man knelt on his hands and knees at the god's feet, begging and crying to be spared of it's wrath.

" You summoned me. And you should know I kill any who summon me. " The god's voice boomed, causing the young man, Sebastian, to have to cover his ears due to how loud it was. The god's voice echoing through the temple only made it more painfully loud, Sebastian almost couldn't bear it.

" I-I d-didn't intend to summon you-! I-I don't even know y-you, I was j-just exploring,,, " Sebastian replied, whimpering in fear. It was true... all he was doing was exploring the old temple... He didn't know much of anything about any of the gods that resided on Outline. He was never interested in that type of thing... He's always loved ancient architecture and building. Never did he think he'd actually stumble upon a god's forgotten temple..

The god hummed in thought, glaring down at Sebastian. " I'll offer you a deal, hm? " They spoke after a moment. Sebastian looked up.

" Yes- Yes, tell me, wh-whats the deal? "

" I won't kill you, however, you must provide me a sacrifice every now and then. "

Sebastian stayed in silence for a moment, thinking. 'That isn't too bad, I only have to serve this god and bring it a sacrifice every once in a while.' After a moment, he nodded. " I-I'll take that deal.. " It was the only thing he could do. He didn't want to die...

Despite no visible face, the god seemed to gain an,, evil grin. " Wonderful.. Thank you so much. "
They suddenly grabbed Sebastian by his forehead, and the poor man let out a piercing shreik as an agonizing shock zipped through his body. While this happened, changes to his body were made as well.. His pupils and irises turned purple, and horns resembling the god's sprouted painfully from his head.

" Now go forth, servant of Ayalon. " The god said, letting go of Sebastian, who now had an almost monotone expression. Sebastian nodded, then turned and left the temple,,, off to find the first sacrifice.
