Silius and Parallax by EricIsAJerk

Lore:
The scholar Silius was not always involved in the arcane. Originally a starving peasant in the dessicated Wailing Mountains, Silius watched in horror as his home was destroyed by the tempestuous Storm Celestial, and then in awe as he spotted it fuse with a local elementalist. Both jealous of the power and fearing the possibility of more Celestials wreaking havoc on his home, Silius traveled a great distance to study the history of the great Celestials. Eventually, as he learned more and more about the Celestials, he was certain that something was missing in the knowledge.
He tracked down what he believed to be the mythical fourth Celestial. But Silius had been mistaken. The powerful being that stood before him was not a god, but a demon named Parallax, keen on snatching the foolish scholars soul, and more than willing to play the part of an all powerful god to get it. As Parallax took the enraptured Silius back to his realm, the scholar realized his terrible mistake. As the demon began absorbing his soul, Silius, with his last breaths, cast a spell that fused the demon to his body. Enraged, Parallax tried to free himself, but to no avail. Silius, though dead and soulless, somehow persisted, with Parallax trapped deep inside. From then on, the two-as-one roamed the land, Silius searching for a way to reverse the process, and Parallax looking to free himself from the confines of Silius’ tortured flesh for good.
