Xix

Xix was originally the God of Flame . He served as lieutenant to The Phoenix in the great conflicts before the world. He loved the goddess Lemorra and performed many great tasks to try and win her hand. He weilded the might axe, Aeluth, upon which were carved the secret runes for fire. During the Final Conflict, when only The Serpent and The Dark were left, Xix was struck down and corrupted by The Nameless Dark. He turned on the Phoenix and used his powers to try to destroy The Great Tree. He stuck down many Daenun before he was stopped. The Phoenix broke his form, and his axe. His body was gone, but his mind was still rotted by the Dark, and as he was a traitor to the Phoenix, he recieved the ultimate punishment. He suffered for a year and a day at the hands of the Ghost Queen until his mind came back to him. Then the Phoenix  took pity on him, and made him a new form, by impregnating Lemorra, and making him a great Fire Giant under her, and he served as her shield-bearer until the end of time. This meant, however, that Xix could never be with the one he loved, for she was now his mother.
