OC Story 2: Madness unleashed

(This is just a short story I felt like making, to try getting back into writing again.)

[The Dark Realm, the Throne room]

For thousands of years, what remained of Nihil's humanity fought against the Darkness within him, trying to fight it's way to the surface, and his feelings for his family showed this. But over the years, the souls he consumed adopted his old personality, and began to try taking over. Over and over he fought, for deep down he knew the price if he failed and let his Darkness devour him so. But upon the day his son and daughter betrayed him, something within him snapped. His will to continue fighting, and his mind slowly began to disappear, the Darkness within him and his souls slowly began to take over, slowly remaking the dark lord into what his creator had originally intended; a being of pure malice and destruction, who craved only death and extermination. Now he sat upon his throne, covered in the shadows he so loved as he began to slowly lose his fight for sanity, and he didn't care at all, for he never thought in a thousand years that his family would betray him, and the very knowledge of that drove him off the edge. But he still had enough clarity of mind to send the rest of his family away, partly to protect them, but also because of the nagging feeling of betrayal now lurking within his mind. He was wounded, hurt, angered and full of regret and guilt for the things he's done and what the betrayal did to him. And now, upon the threshold of madness, he finally decided to let go, for he knew now that the only way for this all to end was to become the monster he was meant to be, and have his former brother finally destroy him. The shadow demon smiled to himself, alone in the shadows of his throne room, as he remembered all the good memories he had while feeling the Darkness take him over. And as the last specks of light began to fade, his eyes slowly opened, revealing web-like cracks within his now pitch black eyes, the cracks glowing purple as a ghastly smile slowly spread across his face, with horrific laughter escaping his lips. What remained of Nihil was no longer visible, if there was anything left...all that was left....was the shadow demon, now set free, and it's madness unleashed for all of existence to endure.
