(Flashback 4.5 billion years ago)
It was good back then, there earth had just finished forming, and now I was a spirit in the Black Forests of Germany, I had no soul back then, no way to know I existed until one day I heard a sound, what happened changed my being and gave me thought for the rest of my life. “Come now brother, I have something to show you” What is that, I wondered to myself as I glided through the woods, is there something that can communicate. I went and investigated. “Brother, please stop, I am hungry, I have not eaten in many days, and we were sent out to search for food, what do you what to show me?” Ahh, I see, 2 young, “mortals” I believe they were called were running through my forest, they intrigued me with their short life spans, and always their need for food. I am a part of these woods, I had no need for nourishment except the sun and the rain. “Go look over there” the larger said to the smaller of the 2 beings, I was wondering what would happen until I saw the larger one lifting a stone, “What am I supposed to find,” the younger asked, and then I saw something that forever changed my life. “Sorry brother,” it was the last thing the child on the ground heard before the stone was smashed into his head, painting the trees around it red, and staining the ground with red and pink. Then the hunger, oh it was so alluring, it rushed upon me, and that is when I realized that I had never been so hungry in my entire life. What happened next was all a rush to me, all I remember is rushing at the boy, who was eating the younger one’s leg and licking it clean, after that, there was a never fulfilling hunger for a month. I traveled across the world feasting off of man, animals helped a little, but man’s flesh was delicious, it was fat, full of richness that animals paled to, it put any meat to shame, it was bliss. It was only a month later that I finally saw what I had turned into, ironically it was back in the Black Forests, but now I couldn’t even recognize my home, before, it was beautiful, with luscious green, blues, reds, and oranges. Now, it was pale and black, the leaves had all disappeared, and there seemed to be an eerie glow surrounding it. It was perfect. I was taking a stroll when I finally saw myself in a puddle on the ground. Before, I had a perfect body, with luscious blonde hair, and piercing blue eyes, but now, I had perfectly black eyes, that shifted between grey and red irises, my body was so skinny that it was hard to tell where one part ended and the other began, my skin was pulled tight, bones showed through easily sometimes even piercing through the skin into the open, mainly on my back, I had claws that stretched for 1 foot long, a mouth of razor sharp teeth, and finally a pair of reindeer horns on my forehead. I was pale, except for my mouth and “hands.” They wouldn’t wash off. Why wouldn’t they wash off, I was disgusted with myself after, I had eaten so many people, why, I did not know, all I knew for the next 1 billion years was the hunger, the hunger was always with me, wherever I was, I tried to calm it, and I did learn, but it was always there, it let me know that I could not be near people, for I never knew when the hunger would release itself I later learned that during my spree I had wiped out all humans on earth, so I had to find an alternate food source, this made me the first of my species, certainly not the last, but I limited myself after humans appeared again about 6 million years later, I never let myself go on a spree again after the first time.
I learned about my powers too, to control the cold was a very dangerous responsibility, something happened somewhere around 5 million years later. But I finally found something that could satisfy my hunger for a whole month. A full grown T-Rex was big enough for me that eating all of it could completely get rid of the hunger for a month. I also learned that cooking raw food was not a good idea, I still learned it though. Eating it would cause me something similar to intense stomach pains, it immediately caused me to throw up if it touched my stomach, but over these 1 million years I wandered about with huge reptiles finding my powers and honing them into the best they can be. When after a 3 million years, I got tired of my immortality and decided to finally let myself rest for a bit. I used my powers very delicately and froze myself in a block of ice for the next 3 million years. What’s that smell, it was the first that crossed myself after awakening from my slumber, I unfroze myself and what I saw I could almost not comprehend. I saw ash and sulfur, dead Dinosaurs and plants scattered everywhere around me for thousands of miles. “What happened here” I thought. After that, I spend another million years figuring out that a huge rock from space had crashed into the earth, ending the reign of the dinosaurs.
Then something amazing happened, I was walking over a hill when I saw them, humans, they had come back, I devoured all of them right away, enjoying the taste after being denied it for millions of years. Something happened though, they wanted to capture me, to study me, and then kill me, I was stressed, and then I lost control of my power. I went to the North pole where they cornered me, then I let loose. What happened is now known as the Ice Age. After they had recovered from that, I spend years learning about the world and all that there was. I saw great evil and good throughout the world. The Assyrians sticking babies onto spears, Empires rise and fall, great works of art, wars over land, Gods fighting for attention, lands reshaped for farming, new inventions to continue this cycle of hate. I realized after 300 years that there was a truth in the world. Humans are the worst creatures to ever grace this Earth with their presence. They were like a blight that forever would destroy the Earth unless somebody did something. I took on that role.
Then about 1,000 years ago I met a man. His name was Godric Gryffindor and he was the best man I had ever seen. He believed in compassion, love, forgiveness, and loyalty. Everything that I was not, yet despite our clashing beliefs, we became good friends, I helped him behind the scenes make Hogwarts and picked people to hire for staff. It was the best century of my life. Then he died of old age, and I went into a period of depression that lasted 600 years. During that time, I ate very little, but finally I realized that Godric would not like me to mope about so much, so I came out and again graced the world with my presence. The first human that I ate would cast me for the rest of my life. It was the wife of a god, in fact, it was Zeus’s wife. If I remember, Zeus came into the world about 7 million years after I was born, yet he was more powerful because he was born of the titans who were born 4 million years after I. I had contact with demigods before, and even have fought gods, but did not mind them that much. I was gnawing on her leg when I heard a small,”Mama?” I turned and there behind me was a boy, with brown eyes, black hair as dark as the night, and in a little nightie. That’s the last thing I see before being blasted with a combo of lightning and thunder straight from old Zeusy himself. I watched the boy, and it seems he has a deep hatred for me now, I’ve worked with him on occasions, I've even fought him once, but I lost, after though, he seemed to accept it, and now we don’t hate each other as much. I reminisced this as I started to use my control over the cold to create a perfect ice clone to take my place as I went to do my job, before I leave I see a pretty Gryffindor girlie with brown hair and eyes with an eagle start walking my way, no idea why she caught my eye, but something tells me she has something to do with my old friend from long ago…
