The seed of eternal love. Darkness murdered love, the emperor consumed by sorrow, and in the blackness of his heart, the universe surrendered. Night enshrouded the emperor, and in the shadow, a rose bloomed, time protected it, and the entire universe trembled. The night roared, and reprimand was unleashed, a star shone, and the entire infinite pulsed. Time cared for it, but the rose pricked it, its blood covered it, and love was reborn. The rose grew, yet the raven found it, the sad emperor watched as the raven devoured it. The rose perished, but its seed survived, where it bled, a new rose emerged. The raven observed how the emperor fell in love, and betrayed the night, now it feasted upon her.
In the vast universe of Sailor Moon, we often encounter extraordinary intersections between classical mythology and the enchantment of fantasy, often approached with profound intricacy. This work is precisely one of those crossroads where Greek mythology meets the iconic Sailor Moon series, taking a narrative twist by delving into the transgression of time. At the heart of this convergence, two guardians of the cosmos, Sailor Pluto and Sailor Saturn, emerge as tacit protagonists in a tale that explores the consequences of a mother’s love who refuses to lose her daughter.
From the opening notes of the saga to its dramatic culmination, this saga blends the elements of Greek mythology with the powerful narrative of the eternal struggle between good and evil, embodied in the beloved Sailor Pluto and Sailor Saturn. Through the prism of a personal artistic vision, I have sought to give them an exaggerated prominence, a renewed voice in the fictional timeline of Sailor Moon.
This tragic work is a tribute to the complexity of Greek mythology, seeking to provide a different perspective and pay homage to the captivating Sailor Moon series, where the boundaries between the divine and the human blur, and the very essence of time becomes the canvas upon which the tragedies and triumphs of our protagonists are painted.
Evil Devourers (Fanfic)
Act I Eonic Conflict
The roar of the Apocalypse will resonate as an eternal echo, reminding mortals and divines alike of the fragility of self-imposed omnipotence.
In the dawn of time, before the existence of Titans and Olympians, the cosmos was ruled by Primordial Gods, beings of unimaginable strength and power.
In this primordial space, love and darkness were two opposing yet complementary forces. Eros, the goddess of love, was a radiant and luminous figure, representing the creative force and the union of opposites. Erebus, the god of darkness, was a shadowy and mysterious being, representing the destructive force and the separation of opposites.
Between Eros and Erebus arose a forbidden passion that threatened to destroy the balance of the cosmos. The goddess of love, seduced by the dark force of the god of darkness, surrendered to him without reservations. From their union was born a star, a hybrid celestial body that combined love and destruction.
This birth caused a great upheaval in the world of the primordial gods. Some saw the new being as a threat to the established order, while others considered it a symbol of hope. It was called The Morning Star.
Nyx, Erebus’s sister, infuriated by this birth, ordered her siblings to rise against Eros and kill her daughter as cosmic retribution. The war among the primordial gods erupted when Eros, determined to protect her daughter, confronted them. Eros was joined by the gods of light and order, while Nyx allied with the gods of darkness and chaos. The battle was long and bloody, and in the end, Nyx emerged victorious.
When Eros died, Erebus was devastated. His love for her was so great that he could not imagine his life without her. Nyx, the goddess of night, took advantage of Erebus’s pain, seduced him, and married him. Nyx, a vengeful goddess, condemned Erebus and Eros’s daughter to the underworld, fulfilling a curse of eternal death.
Nyx summoned her children and ordered them to find Eros’s body. When her body was found, they took it to Tartarus, where Nyx’s children devoured her and regurgitated her into a cursed tomb. Eros was imprisoned in eternal captivity. Stripped of her beauty and power, she was condemned to live in darkness and cold forever.
Act II Rebirth
In the Rose, her lament was woven, in its thorns, her passion and torment. Time embraced her, and in her legacy, she survived.
In the place where Eros bled, a beautiful rose was born. Its petals were dyed with her blood, and its stem was forged from her green tresses. Its fragrance was intoxicating, and its beauty irresistible. The gods of Tartarus, children of Nyx, approached the rose with curiosity. They had never seen anything like it. Its radiant aura attracted even the Gods of order.
Chronos (Eon, primordial), the God of time, was the first to see the rose. Excited by its beauty, he stopped to contemplate it. The rose defied darkness and death. The sage approached and touched it. As he did, he pricked himself on its thorns. The pain was so intense that he cried out, and his blood spilled. A droplet traveled through the universe, crashing into a distant planet, destroying everything in its path, thus giving birth to the Princess of Pluto.
At that moment, the rose shone with a special glow. Its garnet color intensified, and its thorns grew stronger. The God of time realized that the rose was special. What he witnessed was a manifestation of divine power that had occurred where Eros died.
Chronos, moved by such elegance, decided to protect the rose. He took it away from the confines of Nyx and her host, cared for it with love and dedication, watered it with the river of time, and nourished it with the light of the stars. However, the rose withered, and its aura faded. Saddened, he remembered that it had once shone in the presence of blood. Thus, he cut himself so that it could drink from him. The rose improved, but this time it did not bloom again.
Ether, who watched from a distance, sent a messenger to Chronos, telling him that the rose he had found in the heart of Tartarus was the spirit of Eros, who had clung to a sprout of life, but that it was cursed. The rose was not beautiful but a terrible prison that suffocated Eros, feeding on his blood and that of those on that distant planet when the God Chronos cut himself, the Rose fed on him. Ether instructed him to destroy the Rose, but the sage did not. Enamored, he embraced it as his daughter and consecrated it with the right to his blood so that she could live once again.
Nyx, who had been spying from her obsidian throne, understood that in that cursed rose, the Goddess of Love had survived, and the droplet of blood from the God Chronos had transformed into her avatar.
Act III Tormented
Within the firstborn of Cronos, Eros dwelled. Through the power of love, the universe roared across all ages.
The planet of the dead caught the attention of Ananke, the Goddess of the primordial fate, the guardian of the confines of the cosmic becoming. Nyx knew that this was a threat to her. The return of Eros meant that the balance of the cosmos was in jeopardy. But the darkness was not willing to surrender with the conquest of the universe, even if it meant challenging the primordial designs.
The darkness summoned her children, the gods of darkness, and ordered them to find the girl Eros. Nyx’s shadows traveled through the universe tirelessly searching for her for a long time. Finally, they found her on the planet Pluto. Nyx baptized her as “Alyssa Dei Sanguinum,” which means “Noble, of Divine Blood,” as an irony about her birth and a reminder of her torment. Her name was also inspired by the Alyssum, a plant believed to cure madness, but in reality, it was not effective, so those who suffered from it were treated in vain.
Nyx entrusted Alyssa to the care of Abrahel, now the successor of Nemesis, the goddess of revenge who died in the great cosmic war. Abrahel was a cruel and ruthless goddess and had no interest in protecting Alyssa. The girl grew up in a world of darkness and terror, condemned to live in darkness and cold, she wept in solitude. She did not understand why she was there or what she had done to deserve such punishment.
One day, Alyssa was crying in the darkness when Nyx, the goddess of the night, appeared. The Darkness took pity on the girl and offered her a gift: the “Morning Star,” a magical celestial body that would illuminate her life. Alyssa accepted the gift with joy. From then on, Alyssa was no longer alone; she had a star to play with in the midst of absolute emptiness. However, Nyx’s intentions were not what they seemed. “The Morning Star” was connected to the force of primordial love, the result of the forbidden relationship between Eros and Erebus, which was the only force capable of dominating the universe. Nyx knew that this star would eternally die, driving Alyssa into madness.
Ananke, the guardian of the cosmic becoming, observed the events. The goddess of fate gathered her three Norns, Skuld, Urd, and Verdandi. The four goddesses met and deliberated sternly. Urd wove the thread of destiny. Skuld would cut the thread, and Verdandi would carry out the plan.
Act IV Madness
When the brilliance distilled, the darkness invaded her, love suffered and in an infinite agony her sanity was consumed.
Alyssa got used to the presence of the Morning Star. Its brightness was her only guide in the world of darkness. The emerald-eyed girl played under the light of her star for hours, imagining she was in a world of light and love. One day, while she was playing, it began to pale. Alyssa screamed in horror as the star faded completely. The little girl was shattered. The star was all she had, and now it was gone. She couldn’t understand why it had died. Alyssa spent the following years crying over its death. She couldn’t believe it was really gone.
One day, Alyssa saw something strange in the sky. It was the light of a small, weak star that felt familiar. Enchanted by its glow, she was muted; the star had come back to life. Alyssa, with palpable maturity, spent the following days watching the star through tears, wondering why it was so far from her, but happy to see its glow again. Sadly, the star died soon. This repeated many times tormenting Alyssa; the essence of Abrahel was the cause of such evils. Alyssa could only look up at the sky to find comfort in the condemned glow of her star without exactly knowing what was happening.
Gradually, Alyssa lost her mind, and where once there was virtue now was anger and despair. Alyssa became obsessed with her star, she couldn’t stop thinking about it. She wanted to understand why it was dying, and how she could prevent it. Within this madness, she decided that she had to find a way to avoid her inexorable fate, even if it meant transgressing the designs of the cosmic becoming.
Alyssa traveled through the universe in search of her star, but she couldn’t find it. It was as if a greater force opposed her. When she was about to give up, she found a thread of light that led her to an unknown place. Alyssa followed the thread and found it, the star was born on a distant planet called Earth, not far from where she was born. Confused by this revelation, she went there. She observed the solar system, a place in the universe where life flourished and where her own Gods reigned.
Alyssa saw the atrocity that was humanity and its Gods. She saw war, poverty, disease, and death. Alyssa approached the planet and observed that her star had reincarnated in a girl, who was small and fragile, who was surrounded by darkness. She realized that the little one was trapped, she would be born and die without being happy, in a world full of pain and infinite suffering.
Act V Eternal
Hatred abused love, and from their relationship a devouring frenzy was unleashed; the universe sickened, and the penumbra rejoiced.
Alyssa observed the suffering and pain that humans caused themselves and others. She could not believe that her star was condemned to such a place. Alyssa realized that the cycle of life and death seemed to occur through a series of tragic events involving the designs of their lesser Gods. Enraged by such selfishness, she decided to intervene, thus falling into Nyx’s trap.
Abrahel, who from the shadows observed Alyssa’s actions, left nothing to chance. Although her actions were directed towards her mother’s designs, she had other plans. Long before, she had settled in the solar system, bringing the plague of hatred to the corners of the solar system, destroying the pillars of creation and love. But there was something that troubled her, and it was the existence of a being that could travel through the ages regardless of the rules of time established by the cosmic becoming, a being that resisted abandoning all hope. Abrahel knew that this creature had a special gift, the gift of transcendence within the cosmic becoming.
Abrahel took advantage of the distractions of the Norns and changed the course of destiny; the malevolent Goddess understood the divine rules of the primordial legacy and profaned them. She corrupted the granddaughter of the Goddess of the Moon and possessed her body, destroying the ancient traces of her legend and creating an infamous story of her legacy. The favor of the actions of the Goddess of Retribution reached primordial ears, who applauded her justice against temporal transgression.
Throughout the ages, the cycle of death was interrupted. Beenban (Reincarnation of Thanatos) appeared to claim the deaths of those who did not want to arrive, and there she found a prodigious aberration, a paradox that devoured everything in its path. The plague extinguished life, devouring the stellar stars, leaving an absolute void in its wake.
Lamasthu was the forbidden existence of the union of two incompatible beings, the firstborn of Chronos and the granddaughter of the Goddess of the Moon. Abrahel had taken advantage of Alyssa, raping her and making her give birth to a forbidden daughter, who now existed with the gift of transcendence of the cosmic becoming, protected by the legacy of primordial divinity, so that the mere existence of Abrahel, the goddess of justice and retribution, would perpetuate for eternity, eluding the divine succession of the cosmic becoming, ruling above the primordials.
Act VI In the Name of Love
Where suffering takes root and pain spreads, a dark shadow persists, while the paradoxical entity, death, forbids.
The Norns, the three goddesses of fate, watched with sadness the state of the universe. The plague of hatred and resentment had spread everywhere. They knew that love was the only thing that could stop this evil, but they also knew that it was blinded by its own anger. The plague of hatred had spread throughout the cosmos, and life was extinguished in its wake.
Alyssa realized that her star was a prisoner of a timeless prison, trapped under the premise of a destruction that never arrives, failing its purpose without being able to transcend, being a participant in an aberrant story that repeated itself over and over again, in which the selfishness of the Goddess of the Moon held captive the purest stellar brilliance of the universe to prevent the death of her infamous legacy through the ages, the Silver Millennium.
After the death of Sailor Saturn, Alyssa instructed the Princess of Pluto of this era to find and destroy Sailor Chibi-Moon, since the avatar of the Goddess Eros was subject to the rules of taboo she could not intervene directly. The daughter of the Earth and the Moon was pursued by the Princess of Pluto around the world, during this bloody pursuit the Prince Endymion dies because of her, creating discord among the Sailor Senshi, who split into two groups, the Inner-Senshi who were against Sailor Pluto, and the Outer-Senshi who were in favor of her purpose.
On the planet of oblivion, from her palace, Alyssa watched the death of Prince Endymion and how the girl from the profane future crossed seas and oceans, increasingly cornered; the victory was on the tip of her tongue, she suddenly fell silent; for the creeping chaos appeared on the planet Earth suddenly, feeding on death, attracting the demons of the end of times. The wrathful acts of the Gods converged on Earth, attracting the attention of the Primordials, who restlessly gathered with Ananke, who indicated to them that:
“The cosmic becoming demands that love and hatred be in balance. When hatred becomes too powerful, the universe becomes unbalanced and chaos ensues. This chaos is a force that feeds on the destruction caused by the absence of love. In this sense, love must succeed to restore the balance of all things.”
Act VII Stardust
The succession occurred when darkness reigned. At the end of the glow, evil triumphed, and the cosmic becoming sealed its fate.
Lamasthu is a tragic figure. She is the product of the union of two opposing forces, and her very existence is a contradiction. She is a force of destruction that is protected by the force of creation.
By the command of Ananke, the Norns travel to the past, to the moment when Alyssa and Abrahel met. But they can do nothing, as they themselves brought about this event. They try to prevent Alyssa from falling into Nyx’s trap, but they fail. The Norns travel to the future, to the moment when Lamasthu is about to destroy the universe. They witness the battle of the Primordial Gods against Lamasthu, and although at times it seemed that she was defeated, she ultimately triumphed and the dark silence reigned lifelessly forever.
The Norns understood this as a manifestation of divine successions that never occurred, the process by which gods are replaced by others. This process is controlled by the cosmic becoming in order to maintain the balance of all that exists and all that doesn’t. Lamasthu was not the enemy; rather, she was the entity that would mete out the punishments to all those who deserved them.
The cosmic becoming is a set of laws and rules that govern the universe. These laws are inviolable and are intended to maintain balance and order. One of the most important rules of the cosmic becoming is the rule of time. This rule establishes that time is a continuous and irreversible flow. One cannot travel through time, nor can one alter the past.
Thus, the Norns understood everything and returned to the present, just when Alyssa used the stellar brilliance of the guardians of the solar system to make her star shine once more, with the interested complicity of Emperor Erebo, deliberately committing a serious transgression. Meanwhile, Abrahel took possession for the second time of Chibi-Moon, in a bold twist of fate, finding a loophole in the timeline to endure in the new era.
The Morning Star shone brightly in the skies of the earth, sponsored by Alyssa Dei Sanguinum, who saw her dream come true, the demon of all things appeared, and the avatar attacked; almost simultaneously, the star lit up, illuminating the universe in search of its true rival; before them, Chibi-Moon emerged. In a smooth motion, she attacked, and the star went out. When darkness reigned, the Cosmic Becoming acted, and the succession occurred.
