The second child to the royal Lunarian family, Lü Shao [Bernkastel].
She showed great potential in her ability to learn and her crave for knowledge was unsatisfiable.
Jealous of her brother that was the heir to the throne, she dedicated herself to learn the ways of the ancient martial arts of her people, for years she continued from one master to another and had gained the knowledge of them all.
From these shreds of martialism, she began creating her own fighting style.
Resulting as a fighting style meant not to just overcome the enemy, but kill them.
This enraged the masters of the martial arts, together they confronted Lü Shao. But they were no match for this newly risen master and her pupils.
Her uncle, the first teacher, who had taught her since the beginning, training her in the ways of nothingness, challenged her into a duel in order to bring her to salvation.
Accepting the duel, the legendary words echoed, " You will have the honor of being the first to witness my ambition. "
Lü Shao hit the ground with her foot, and began focusing her powers.
A fiery aura of black and red engulfed her and she launched towards her former master. Unaware of what lied ahead, he prepared to strike, but in a flash he already lied on the ground, on the edge of death.
" I have mastered what all of you together couldn't achieve. I have ascended above your feeble kind, I am not only a descendant of a God. I am, a God. "
Those were the last words her uncle would ever hear, as Lü Shao broke her foot through his chest, ending in a loud scream of agony.
The other masters stared in terror as even the most powerful of them had been overpowered with but a single move.
As Lü Shao placed her master's beads on her neck she said, " Do you now understand? You will either succumb to the only true teachings, or perish. "
Some of the masters left and the others succumbed and learned the newborn one and only traditional way. In the meantime, her brother had claimed the throne and accused Lü Shao of murdering her uncle and taking a tyrannic rule over the citizens of the empire.
Lü Shao was enraged and she ravaged the cities and the people with her pupils, slaughtering everyone that stood in her way. The madness kept on going for months, resulting in the assault over the capital. Lü Shao murdered her entire family, and only her brother stood on her way.
" You are unworthy of ruling these lands, I was born years after you! And you are still weak, do you not understand that the power of will cannot be your only weapon as an emperor. You lack strength. I, have everything that a true ruler needs! The throne.. Shall be... MINE! " Lü Shao prepared to launch a fatal blow to her brother, but magical bindings appeared and stopped her mid-air.
" I-impossible! Your primitive magic is weak, this is not possible!"
She yelled in her brother's face, only resulting in having her cheek caressed and receiving these words " Dear sister, I am more than worthy of ruling as the emperor of the Lunarian, you have not ascended above anything that you believe you have, you have become a monster and thus I will banish you from the moon, and you, will never, return. "
Lü Shao was cast off to space as a flaming light of black and red, after months of exile in the void, she struck into the atmosphere of a nearby planet, as she hit the ground, the ether itself quaked. As she recovered, she was flowing with rage, red energy flowed from her body.
For years she was alone in the forests, meditating and turning her fighting style into a even stronger weapon, this is when her pupils found her.
Resulting in enslaving the lands to create a greater empire than the Lunarian had ever seen, the buildings she ordered to build were alien to this world, and so were here goals.
She sent newly trained warriors into the moon for an unknown reason. And for years the people witnessed this happen and served as slaves in the empire. Soon there was a great rebellion and they decided to dethrone Lü Shao for good. However, the uprising resulted in the slaughter of countless of men and women.
Enraged of yet another betrayal, Lü Shao went rampage over the kingdoms killing everyone, men, women and children. She witnessed countless of wars, armies fell before her, but finally she was fatally wounded and weakened, yet she kept on killing, not caring about her inevitable demise.
The people overpowered her and trapped her in a sarcophagus and placed a powerful seal that would imprison her forever. And the sarcophagus was taken into the darkest corner of the world, to be forgotten.
Everything that reminded of this tyranny, the buildings, weapons, gardens, everything, was demolished. Even the pages of history were burned so the future generations would never know. And years later, everything was already forgotten, only legends remained.
But something far greater had been observing the tyrant's reign, Darkness itself had grown interest towards this young Lunarian, and saw it as an opportunity for His own freedom. The seal was destroyed and Lü Shao walked out, steaming with rage she seeked anything that she could kill, something that she could release all her anger on. However, like never before in her life, she was filled with fear, as a gigantic eldritch figure stood before her, and she collapsed on her knees.
Soon enough, countless of slithering tentacles took a hold of her something stroke through her stomach resulting as humongous pain, unlike anything she had ever felt before. The red energy around her faded and she started forgetting. Forgetting who and what she was, she had become a nobody, a doll to Darkness, a key to unlock the gate.
