The Dark Master (Drak Mastre)
Unknown Entity
Grieve is the only one claiming to ever come in 'contact' with this 'creature'. The Fire Lords as well, have had some speculation as to whether they were brought into existence by this supposed being as they were the first demons in existence and still do not know how they were brought to 'life' (they simply don't care). They do not believe in these speculations, and anyone who brings these thoughts to their attention are slaughtered mercilessly.
The Drak Mastre, as Grieve would call it, is thought to be something like a 'deity'- however, it is known (at least in the death realms) that gods do not exist, only beings of immense power, such as the fire lords and perhaps a few angels in the heaven realm. yet, despite the fire lord's claims and what they'd have their realm of hell believe, it is also known by few that nothing is all powerful. That everything can be destroyed someway or another. The creature that takes the shape known as the Drak Mastre is merely used as an excuse for all things currently unexplained in the realms of existence. If one were to believe in a 'God', the Drak Mastre would be the closest thing to one.
Grieve is laughed at by the Fire Lords for claiming to have spoken with the Drak Mastre when Grieve formed into existence- as he was the first Torture Demon created.
A so called 'formless' being, but often thought to be in the form of a jellyfish, or a skull or a bird beast of some sort. often accompanied by wispy white or black smoke, and it shimmers in and out of existence, from afar, just like a mirage.
Idle ramblings and unformed thoughts on the ways of the universe.
The drak mastre was there at the start of all things. it basically IS purgatory. its a wandering ghost of the purgatory waters, which is essentially (nothing) the black emptiness of space. but of course the black emptiness of space is still something. which came first the chicken or the egg? well purgatory is both. eternal, everlasting and also the end of things.
The drak mastre is a shape that can sometimes be seen upon the mirage like horizons of the "shimmering lights" of purgatory. aka: the water ripples cast in an empty light that doesn't exist, yet still illuminates the area.
The drak mastre is the first thing Grieve sees when his soul comes into formation. Grieve believes this to be his "creator". He believes the drak mastre also created the fire lords, who were also formed at the same time as grieve, if not a few moments 'after'. although in reality, the drak mastre did not create anything. it is simply the shape the water forms sometimes, perhaps mindless perhaps not. grieve is the only one to have ever conversed with it, though it might have been simply grieve doing all the talking, the fire lords dont believe such a thing exists, and upon their encounter with grieve, disregards his claims that he spoken to anything that appeared before THEM.
Grieve and the firelords are the first borns created from "purgatory". their souls are essentially purgatory water that has taken shape, much like the drak mastre. all new souls are created this way, eventually taking shape into a new being from the waters of purgatory.
it is unknown whether realms were formed the same way. though it is likely. if this is true, one might consider that even the realms themselves have sentience to some degree? perhaps this is what makes the realms 'drift' through the waters of purgatory?
There is a beast/demon that goes by Alkumez, known personally by only a few, and a myth to everyone else, that is located somewhere in the Tera realm (and perhaps similar beings that exist in other realms across purgatory/space and time), that has existed possibly as long as the Drak mastre... or perhaps was shaped before a long forgotten 'reset' of universes had occurred, they being the only things that remain of those times, having somehow avoided such termination.
At the end of the day, this and the drak mastre are all but mere speculation and idle thoughts.
