Relationships

William: He is Areus's boss and father. Brutune: Areus's mother. Brutune is William's sister and Areus's mother, but Brutune is currently sealed away due to her cruel attitudes. Nebula: She is the sister of Areus, who is the goddess of death, Queen of Underworld and Grim Reapers.

Past

Areus and Nebula were made by William and Brutune at the start of creation to act as deities of death. First of all, their bond was strong, and they supported each other in their tasks, collaborating in the battle against Brutune to defeat and seal her. But things shifted when William appointed Areus as the ruler of the underworld, causing Nebula to become jealous of her brother. The jealousy escalated to the point of transforming into bitterness, leading Nebula to initiate another war in order to seize the throne from her brother, who had willingly handed it over to her. Despite his peaceable gesture, Nebula still chose to distance herself from him. As ruler of the underworld, she brought forth a new species known as the grim reapers; female entities looking like humans designed to assist her as the goddess of death. Nowadays, they handle all of Nebula's tasks while she luxuriates in her palace.
