#Everyone is rightfully afraid but their mistreatment wasn't the best move

[starlytenight]

Sorry if this has been asked before. But how was it like for Necro growing up? It must have been a, I'll go with interesting, experiance. And how did Morpho suddenly feel having to raise a younger verson of themself? It most have been some interesting years for the god because they pretty much got to feel the 'parent experience' as it's called with Necro.

Oh, it's a bit more complicated than that. Morpho didn't really... do that.

He just told the small fragment not to be afraid because if someone dared to try anything he'd step in. Necro was on his own, basically.

Morpho would be kind enough guide him around if he asked for where, say, food was or something like that. Anything life-threatening he couldn't handle himself, but beyond that, Morpho was very hands off! He really wanted to see what would unfold. He didn't want to interfere much since this was new and exciting.

This kind of led to some problems, like Necro being unable to control his disgustingly powerful fire and leading him to being often called a "Demon Child" for accidentally burning down villages and the like. Several others tried to control his fire or outright unsubscribe him from life but they all failed miserably. Necro sort of renamed himself "Necro" in reference to the death, or the "Necrosis" he wrought to unlucky souls. He didn't want to be affiliated with the name "Valkyrie" since he didn't think he fit it and he didn't like the natural uneasy aura being part of Morpho granted him.

He kind of started just accepting the nastiness and unwillingness from others as a given. Most can sense the deadly deity in him and naturally feared him as most folks fear death and judgment, so 99% of those he encountered were very unkind toward him. From what he can still recall from being part of Morpho, most worlds were like this. Ruthless, cold, and horrific. They usually paid for such sins later.

But... in his travels he finally found someone who wasn't exactly like most.

Someone who was actually willing to try and show him, and couldn't get burned by his highly powerful holy fire. A silly little blacksmith Jambandran who offered to forge him a sword and armor that wouldn't melt from his might, and a lady that gave him somewhere to call home and absolutely drove her parents mad with this man in their vicinity.

Sis was the first kindness he had ever experienced, and the first reminder of the goodness within this dimension.
