Ipseity

Now departed from his rightful home
He slogs through the cities of various lands.
Searching for clues to reveal his past,
Time upon time the details slip through his hands.

Through deep valleys and over rugged mountains,
He travels a torturous path over the earth.
Visiting old subordinates to test their level of skill,
He keeps himself sharp by defeating their best and reminding them that they're only serfs.
Garnering a new reputation around the world
As a fearsome creature said to devour the souls of men,
Drawing the attention of certain beings so assured in their creed,
Believing him a monster who must be killed again.

Eluding his pursuers he found himself caught in a deadly snowstorm,
Searching around for supplies he pillaged what was due,
Taking refuge in a hillside cave somewhere in the foothills of a great mountain range,
He prepared for the worst in the freezing winds, willing that the storm would pass through.

Assaulted at night with no alert, he entered a state of perfect fury,
Moving at speeds beyond human ken, he killed them all so quickly not a single scream was heard.
Helping himself to the rest of their blood, he prepared to travel onwards on his quest,
Leaving the cave, the wind now quiet and stilled, he set out once again to discover his name.

Hearing rumours of a strange new power rooted in the northern realms,
Velnias wanted to seek her out and use her as a tool to defeat his enemies.
If indeed as rumour suggested she was nearly as strong as he himself,
His glorious reign would last a thousand years and ultimate power he would seize.
