A long time ago three young warriors went deep into the abyss, there they found the "cave of the dark", a place unknown to many in the realm of death, but it is rumored that there hides a forbidden gem that can grant great power to whoever finds it, however it is also known that the few who have reached that place have never returned, it is said that death does not let them return.
Revealer, Muirat and Alford had grown up together and had become warriors of the army of Mortus, their exploits had allowed them to make a name for themselves among the soldiers and were known by all as brave soldiers, among them there was a friendly rivalry because the three had similar strength but Alford stood out a little more, his ability to use weapons along with magic and his ingenuity on the battlefield gave him a slight advantage over his friends who focused mostly on magical attacks.
When they faced the powerful Yodin in the hills of the devil they were affected by the great power of this, it was the first time they were forced to retreat, but in war this is something that usually happens and that is where true heroes are forged. Because of that hard struggle they descended into the depths of their own realm, and once they escaped their pursuers they noticed an unexplored path and decided to advance along it.
To their amazement everything was profoundly serene, despite the dark and gloomy light that surrounded them they were calm, as they advanced they could feel as if they were being watched, and based on that they were alert, suddenly Alford exclaimed and both Revealer and Muirat were frightened, but Muirat explained that he had just remembered this place in a book that his father had, "this is the devil's cave, I pronounce". They quickly felt fear because of the stories surrounding the place, but Alford suggested moving on.
"Let's move on, you remember what is said about the power we can find here" he told them.
Muirat and Revealer looked at each other, then turned to their friend and told him that it was best not to move on, but to go back while it was still possible. Alford did not listen, after that he looked at some writing that was on the wall, and said to them, "Although I do not understand what it says, I distinctly remember seeing it in my father's book, I know we are on the right path, let us go on."
Against their own will Revealer and Muirat decided to accompany him, they could not leave him behind, he was their precious friend, they had to find a way to get out of there alive even if history said that no one had made it back. The atmosphere emanated with more strength a dark and at the same time bright light, it had something that attracted, like the sirens that with their song catch the fishermen, in that way their charm could not be resisted.
When they came to, they noticed that they were very deep in the cave, but seeing that nothing had happened to them they were excited, Revealer asked Alford if he recognized the place and he answered yes, besides that he told them that they were close, that the gem was further ahead, according to the book there was a hidden passage and only the chosen ones could find it. Muirat thought seriously and wondered to himself what they would do if they found that gem, who would use it, or what problems it could bring, his mind was a complete puzzle.
Some time passed and Alford saw a skull with red eyes, it was slightly different from the others, so he went to see it, at the moment he was approaching the skull jumped on him and attacked him, fortunately he was able to react in time and avoided the attack, his friends seeing what happened attacked but the flying skull dodged them. After that, he stopped in front of the three and spoke to them, Muirat was scared, he had a bad feeling about everything that was happening in front of his eyes.
The skull's words were as follows: "It's been a long time since anyone came here, who are you?" Alford answered and told him that they were warriors from the kingdom of Mortus, after that he asked him the same question. The skull answered: I am Ever - Hungry Skull, the guardian of these lands and their treasures, then he continued: you will not go any further, behind me is the gem that everyone is looking for, I imagine that you also come for it, I'm sorry but I can not let you take it, so go away if you do not want to die.
You don't scare me answered Alford, but Revealer and Muirat thought more clearly, let's go they suggested, but Alford refused, then he said to Hungry Skull: I will take the gem, so don't get in the way, said this he attacked but suddenly a lightning bolt hit his right shoulder.
Hungry Skull said: As I told you before, leave if you don't want to die, the gem contains a curse, if you take it you will not be yourself anymore, your soul will be consumed and you will lose your sanity until you are destroyed. When they heard him they were surprised and asked him about it, Hungry seeing that their hostility had gone down proceeded to tell them, so he told them the following: "The gem is cursed, it has unparalleled power, but it is an uncontrollable power, I once had a friend just like you, his name was Suriu, he and I came here in search of the gem, when we found it we fought each other to see who would take it first, in the end we both did, Suriu was never the same again, he gained power but lost his mind, The gem consumed him, in my case it was a little different, I did not understand why but my body began to disintegrate, the flesh melted and although I did not feel pain I was lost, I could not escape, in the end only this was left of me, my soul was trapped in this skull and I am forced to kill anyone who comes near to feed me, as you can see I am cursed.
Alford began to cry and said: my father died in this place, you devoured him, he wanted the gem, I want it too, so I ask you to give it to me, I will not be cursed, I have this. After his words he took out a pendant and showed it, here it says that the owner of this amulet is the chosen one to possess the power of the gem, his friends were shocked but Hungry Skull approached and observed the amulet, then proclaimed: "Whoever possesses the gem of souls will obtain infinite knowledge, he will lose all his humanity, this is the price, your life for the power" do you accept it?
Alford replied: Yes, now give it to me. Muirat and Revealer opposed but Hungry Skull attacked them, and told them that nothing could be done, Alford was the chosen one and he had to face his destiny, then he stepped aside and revealed the gem before them, Alford went and took it, as soon as he made them a purple glow emanated from it, then it was destroyed and all its brightness took Alford's body, the screams of pain could be heard but this was only part of the transforming process, after a moment it expelled a great power and sent them to fly; When everything calmed down his friends and Hungry Skull observed him, Alford had ceased to be who he was, a dark and gloomy presence was in front of them, his look was frightening, and everyone was terrified, the character raised his hand and emanated light, Hungry Skull was instantly destroyed, after that he said to them: I am Raa and disappeared in front of their eyes.
To this day Raa is known as one of the three great ones in the realm of death, he operates alone and does not submit to the orders of the Lord of Darkness, he is a specter that lives in the darkness, he stalks souls and absorbs them, his presence brings death with him. It is said that the only time he showed mercy was at that moment when he was in front of his old friends.

La leyenda de Raa
Hace mucho tiempo tres jóvenes guerreros se adentraron en lo profundo del abismo, allí encontraron la “cueva del oscuro”, un lugar desconocido para muchos en el reino de la muerte, pero se rumorea que allí se esconde una gema prohibida que puede otorgar gran poder a quien la encuentre, sin embargo también es sabido que los pocos que han llegado a ese lugar jamás han vuelto, se dice que la muerte no los deja regresar.
Revealer, Muirat y Alford habían crecido juntos y se habían convertido en guerreros del ejercito de Mortus, sus hazañas le habían permitido hacerse un nombre entre los soldados y eran conocidos por todos como valientes soldados, entre ellos existía una rivalidad amistosa pues los tres tenían fuerza similar pero Alford destacaba un poco más, su habilidad para usar armas juntamente con magia y su ingenio en el campo de batalla le daba una ligera ventaja sobre sus amigos que se enfocaban más que todo en ataques mágicos.
Cuando se enfrentaron con el poderoso Yodin en las colinas del diablo fueron afectados por el gran poder de este, fue la primera vez que se vieron obligados a retroceder, pero en la guerra esto es algo que suele pasar y allí es donde se forjan los verdaderos héroes. A causa de esa dura lucha descendieron a las profundidades de su propio reino, y una vez escaparon de sus perseguidores notaron un camino inexplorado y decidieron avanzar por allí.
Para su asombro todo estaba profundamente sereno, a pesar de la luz tenebrosa y oscura que les rodeaba estaban tranquilos, a medida que avanzaban podían sentir como si les observaran al acecho, y en base a eso se mantenían alertas, de pronto Alford exclamo y tanto Revealer como Muirat se asustaron, pero este les explico que acababa de recordar dicho lugar en un libro que su padre tenía, “esta es la cueva del diablo, pronuncio”. Rápidamente sintieron temor a causa de las historias que rodeaban el lugar, pero Alford sugirió avanzar.
“Sigamos, recuerdan lo que se dice acerca del poder que podemos encontrar aquí” les dijo
Muirat y Revealer se miraron entre sí, luego se dirigieron hacia su amigo y le dijeron que lo mejor no era seguir adelante, sino regresar mientras fuera posible. Alford no escucho, luego de eso observo una escritura que estaba en la pared, y les dijo: “Aunque no entiendo lo que dice, recuerdo claramente haberla visto en el libro de mi padre, sé que vamos por el camino correcto, sigamos”.
En contra de su propia voluntad Revealer y Muirat decidieron acompañarlo, no podían dejarlo atrás, era su preciado amigo, tenían que buscar la forma de salir de allí con vida aunque la historia dijera que nadie ha logrado regresar. El ambiente emanaba con más fuerza una luz oscura y a la vez brillante, tenía algo que atraía, como las sirenas que con su canto atrapan a los pescadores, de esa forma su encanto no podía ser resistido.
Cuando volvieron en sí, notaron que estaban muy adentro en la cueva, pero al ver que nada les había sucedido estaban entusiasmados, Revealer pregunto a Alford si reconocía el lugar y este les respondió que si, además de eso les dijo que estaban cerca, que la gema se encontraba más adelante, según el libro había un pasadizo escondido y solo los elegidos podían encontrarlo. Muirat pensaba seriamente y se preguntaba a sí mismo en lo que harían si encontraban esa gema, quien la usaría, o que problemas podría acarrear, su mente era un completo rompecabezas.
Paso un tiempo y Alford vio una calavera con los ojos rojos, era ligeramente diferente a las demás, asi que fue a verla, en el momento que se acercaba el cráneo salto sobre él y le ataco, afortunadamente pudo reaccionar a tiempo y evadió el ataque, sus amigos al ver lo sucedido atacaron pero el cráneo volador los esquivo. Luego de eso, se detuvo frente a los tres y les hablo, Muirat estaba asustado, tenía un mal presentimiento de todo lo que estaba sucediendo frente a sus ojos.
Las palabras del cráneo fueron las siguientes: “Hacia tiempo que nadie llegaba hasta acá, ¿quiénes son ustedes?” Alford respondió y le dijo que eran guerreros del reino de Mortus, luego de eso le hizo la misma pregunta. El cráneo respondió: Soy Ever - Hungry Skull, el guardián de estas tierras y sus tesoros, luego prosiguió: no seguirán adelante, detrás de mí se encuentra la gema que todos buscan, me imagino que ustedes también vienen por ella, lo siento pero no puedo dejar que se la lleven, asi que váyanse sino quieren morir.
No me das miedo respondió Alford, pero Revealer y Muirat pensaban más claramente, vámonos le sugirieron, pero Alford se rehusó, luego dijo a Hungry Skull: La gema me la llevare, asi que no te interpongas, dicho esto ataco pero repentinamente un rayo le impacto el hombro derecho.
Hungry Skull le dijo: como les indique anteriormente, váyanse sino quieren morir, la gema contiene una maldición, si la tomas no serás tú mismo nunca más, tu alma será consumida y perderás la cordura hasta ser destruido. Cuando le escucharon se sorprendieron y le preguntaron acerca de eso, Hungry al ver que su hostilidad había bajado procedió a contarles, asi que les dijo lo siguiente: “La gema esta maldita, tiene un poder sin igual, pero es un poder incontrolable, una vez tuve un amigo asi como ustedes, su nombre era Suriu, él y yo llegamos acá en busca de la gema, cuando la encontramos luchamos entre nosotros para ver quien la tomaría primero, al final ambos lo hicimos, Suriu jamás volvió a ser el mismo, obtuvo poder pero perdió la razón, la gema lo consumió, en mi caso fue un poco diferente, no entendí porque pero mi cuerpo se comenzó a desintegrar, la carne se derretía y aunque no sentía dolor estaba perdido, no podía escapar, al final solo esto quedo de mí, mi alma fue atrapada en este cráneo y me veo obligado a matar a todo el que se acerque para alimentarme, como ven estoy maldito.
Al escucharlo comprendieron porque las personas que venían no regresaban, Hungry Skull las devoraba, Alford comenzó a llorar y dijo: mi padre murió en este lugar, tú lo devoraste, él quería la gema, yo también la quiero, asi que te pido que me la des, no quedare maldito, tengo esto. Luego de sus palabras saco un dije y lo mostro, aquí dice que el dueño de este amuleto es el elegido para poseer el poder de la gema, sus amigos se escandalizaron pero Hungry Skull se acercó y observo el amuleto, luego proclamo: “Quien posea la gema de almas obtendrá conocimientos infinitos, perderá toda su humanidad, este es el precio, tu vida por el poder” ¿lo aceptas?
Alford respondió: Si, ahora dámela. Muirat y Revealer se opusieron pero Hungry Skull los ataco, y les dijo que no se podía hacer nada, Alford era el elegido y debía afrontar su destino, luego se apartó y revelo la gema ante ellos, Alford fue y la tomo, apenas los hizo un resplandor morado emano de ella, luego se destruyó y todo su brillo tomo el cuerpo de Alford, los gritos de dolor se oían pero esto solo era parte del proceso transformador, después de un momento expulso un gran poder y los mando a volar; cuando todo se calmó sus amigos y Hungry Skull le observaron, Alford había dejado de ser quien era, una presencia oscura y tétrica estaba frente a ellos, su mirada impartía temor, y todos estaban aterrorizados, el personaje levanto su mano y emano luz, Hungry Skull fue destruido instantáneamente, luego de eso les dijo: Soy Raa y desapareció frente a su ojos.
Al día de hoy Raa es conocido como uno de los tres grandes en el reino de la muerte, opera solo y no se somete a las órdenes de Lord of Darkness, es un espectro que vive en la oscuridad, acecha las almas y las absorbe, su presencia trae la muerte consigo. Se cuenta que la única vez que tuvo misericordia fue en aquel momento cuando estuvo frente a sus viejos amigos.
