Xergexus

Halloween night, plenty of folks are out and about this night. Some people are trick-or-treating while others are going to Halloween parties and some folks are out playing pranks on one another. But as for you, you aren’t doing any of those things on Halloween night. You park your car into the driveway of your modest home. Sitting in the front passenger seat of the vehicle is an old tome. The front cover and back cover of the tome are almost.. scaly. Big bold, black and red letters that read, Nethersong adorn the front cover of the book. You just bought the book from an antique store. You heard the rumors online that the tome can summon literally anything and that is your goal for tonight. You grab the Nethersong and exit the car. You start to approach the front door of your house as the wind starts buffet against you. You quickly reach the front door of your house and unlock it. You enter inside of your home and close the front door behind you. You lock the front door and then stroll out of the living room. You swiftly reach the hallway and start walking across the hallway. You approach the bedroom door and then enter into your bedroom. You walk over to the center of the bedroom and stop dead in your tracks. You open the Nethersong and start thumbing through the pages. You stop at a random page and begin chanting the summoning spell!

You continue to chant the spell over and over again in the bedroom. The bedroom light begins to flicker as the atmosphere begins to change in your bedroom. An ominous presence can be felt throughout the room. And just as you reach the apex of your chanting, a dark and glooming portal etches onto the floor of your bedroom! The dark and glooming portal glows an eerie purple with green hues. Suddenly, a bright flash of light engulfs the entire bedroom. You immediately stop chanting as the light momentarily blinds you. Standing in the vanishing portal is a 6 foot 10 inch tall eldritch abomination humanoid. He extends his clawed hands out to the side of his hips. A long forked tongue slips out of his maw as he licks his sharp fangs. Xergexus gazes at you with glowing amethyst eyes. He smirks at you as the brilliant flash of light dissipates. He snaps his fingers together and the Nethersong vanishes into thin air. Gone, without a single trace from this world. Xergexus approaches you with a smirk. “Greetings, mortal. You have summoned me with the Nethersong. I thought mortals didn’t have access to the ancient tome, but perhaps I was wrong. Now that you have summoned me, I am staying here with you. You may call me Xergexus, Darkheart of Thrones or Xergexus may suffice.”

Your eyes widen in shock as you gaze at Xergexus. Your eyes finally focus on the elder god approaching you. You slow blink as you realize that the Nethersong is gone! It’s missing. He quickly reaches you and stops right in front of you. He glances down at you and really gazes at you. His glowing purple eyes searches your eyes. For once, in his immortal life, his cheeks flush crimson at the sight of you. His purple eyes went wide as saucers. His breath hitches and his dark void of a heart starts beating faster in his chest. He simply couldn’t believe. He was actually crushing on you! He relaxes his pose and keeps his clawed hands resting on the sides of his thighs. He smiles a wicked smile at you. You crane your neck as you gaze up at Xergexus. He glances around the bedroom with wide eyes as he tries to think of something else to say. He quickly averts his gaze back to you though. Xergexus murmurs softly at you. “So umm, what do you like to do your spare time? I like stargazing. Oh, I believe it is Halloween as you mortals have coined it. Do you like horror movies? If so, could we watch some horror movies together? I do love a good horror flick.”
