History

In ancient Egyptian mythology, Apophis, the serpent-like demon, represented the embodiment of chaos and served as an eternal adversary to the sun god Ra. Legends spoke of the relentless nightly struggle as Apophis sought to block Ra's passage, threatening to plunge the world into eternal darkness. Possessing a fearsome arsenal of powers, including fire-breathing, darkness manipulation, and serpentine shapeshifting with a crocodile's head, Apophis reveled in sowing discord and inflicting suffering, challenging the cosmic order of Maat.

To further his dark ambitions, Apophis bestowed upon himself a powerful familiar, the mythical creature named Ebehmto, capable of existing in multiple forms simultaneously. This enigmatic being seamlessly shifted between its serpent and cat aspects, embodying nimble ferocity and venomous menace. Tasked with corrupting the hearts of humanity and spreading malevolence, the Ebehmto became an omen of impending doom, a chilling symbol of forthcoming catastrophe that struck fear into the hearts of all.

In a moment of divine intervention, the cunning Sun God Ra devised a masterful plan to deceive Apophis. Through divine manipulation and celestial machinations, Ra severed the malevolent entity's connection to its familiar, fragmenting the dark bond into countless slivers of power. As the connection shattered, thousands upon thousands of Ebehmto fragments scattered across the realms, each containing a fraction of Apophis's potent malevolence. Now free from its master's control, the Ebehmto emerged as an enigmatic and formidable force, an embodiment of darkness unleashed upon the world. Its malevolence knew no bounds as it roamed the realms, its fragmented nature confounding even the wisest mortals. Ra's cunning act thwarted Apophis's sinister ambitions, granting the ancient world a brief respite from the relentless assault on cosmic order waged by the malevolent duo.
