Fiction:Blood Brotherhood/Darklings

The Darklings are the main species of the Blood Brotherhood organization. Released from their collapsing galaxy, these creatures are now vastly different from the Darklings in Terikalinra's service. Though they vastly outnumber Terikalinra's Darklings, the Blood Brotherhood Darklings are little more than energy without physical forms. Still, the many varieties of Darklings in the Blood Brotherhood do pose a threat to Terikalinra's loyalists, though their comparative strength is debatable.

History
The Darklings started out in a universe of their own, created to serve Terikalinra and Zaraturai. They were originally led by Darkling Miterix, but Terikalinra overthrew him and took power. This began a war between the Darklings and Lightlings that destabilized their universe and caused it to collapse. Fearing their destruction, Terikalinra and one hundred of his followers escaped their universe, along with Zaraturai and her followers. This left thousands of Darklings, Lightlings, and others of their order stranded in the dying universe.

Then, one Darkling by the name of Abaddon stepped up. Originally not much more than a soldier, Abaddon was now the most powerful being left in the universe. He quickly absorbed as much leftover power as he could, using his dark energy powers to hold back the waves of entropy consuming the universe. Through this process, most of the Darklings and Lightlings lost their physical forms and became little more than clouds of energy. As time passed, it looked as though Abaddon would run out of power and the entropy would consume them all.

But the Volver terrorist known as had studied the Darkling universe extensively and had come up with one conclusion: the universe was still somewhat intact. He recruited the Darkling Brotherhood double-agent and used leftover Xonexi technology to open a portal out of the Darkling universe. With that, thousands of Darklings and Lightlings swarmed out of the portal. Abaddon demanded to know who had released him. Iyoka and Krianus stepped up and told them of their goals. Abaddon desired revenge against the Dark One and Zaraturai for abandoning his people to die and accepted the two's service.

Iyoka then told Abaddon of various allies of his who would assist Abaddon. His first act would be to teleport and his followers off of Raptoranea, almost killing Pridar'Valicar in the process. Many other rebels followed him; however, some found the idea of working for Abaddon too extreme and did not join his new organization. Abaddon allowed them to depart on the condition that they would remain allies.
