Ashes of Millers Vale
Born 1991, M, from Tampa, FL, United States.png)
Mikael Shadows was once born a mortal man until fate reshaped him into something unheard of: the first demigod born purely human. Over time, legends gave him many names. Some called him the Demigod of Vengeance. Others whispered of him as the Earth Devil.
Thousands of years passed. Empires crumbled, gods faded, and civilizations turned to dust. Mikael alone endured unchanged, unaging, a living relic of a forgotten world.
By the mid 19th century, Mikael had settled in a quiet town known as Millers Vale, a place where everyone knew one another and where rumors traveled faster than truth. There, he lived a deliberately small life as the owner of a modest bar called The 23 Liquor Club. He kept to himself, avoiding gossip and suspicion, content to exist in the shadows of ordinary men.
That fragile peace shattered when an ancient enemy returned.
A brutal murder shook Millers Vale a young local girl burned at the stake in a grotesque echo of 16th-century witch executions. Planted evidence and carefully crafted lies quickly turned the town’s fear toward Mikael. Panic spread. Whispers became accusations. Before Mikael could defend himself, his bar was reduced to ashes by an angry mob.
Forced into hiding, Mikael realized the attack was no coincidence. As he followed the trail of deception, the truth revealed itself: Eudorus, a ruthless 12th-century warlord long believed dead, had been resurrected. Revived by the chaotic deity Eris, Eudorus was unleashed upon the world to sow destruction and to finally destroy Mikael, his ancient nemesis.
The inevitable confrontation came, and it did not go unseen.
In a battle that shattered belief and reason, Mikael revealed the terrifying scope of his power. The townspeople of Millers Vale bore witness as Mikael wielded an ancient weapon forged by his own hands an artifact born of vengeance and divine fury. With it, he defeated Eudorus and cast his spirit back into the realm of the dead, ending his reign once and for all.
But victory came at a cost.
The truth could no longer be hidden. The people of Millers Vale had seen what Mikael truly was and they understood he was no ordinary being. Feared, revered, and no longer able to live among them, Mikael Shadows vanished once more.
As the century drew to a close, he left Millers Vale behind, destined to wander into the next age unchanging, eternal, and forever haunted by the burden of his power.
