First Contact

Diablo arrived on the earth in the instant of a lightening bolt as it severed an ancient tree. The daemon wept and cut himself at the the thought of such wanton distruction, even as it heralded his entry into the world.

He looked up to find that he was being observed by an ancient man, who appeared from behind the tree..

"What do you want here?" asked the old man.

"I want communion," said Diablo, "I am tired of being alone."
