Purhtos, The Shining One

Purhtos (known as The Shining One) was an ancient being of pure light energy that existed in harmony with Astros, The Destroyer, a being of pure ancient darkness. They existed in the old, mystical days of the universe when the laws of physics were markedly different to modern times and Light and Dark were very alien to how we know them today.

Life
Like Astros, nobody knows of the true origin of Purhtos. However, its existence seems to predate any other sentient life in the known universe. While Astros initially roamed in the dark abyss of the outer universe, Purhtos made its home in the centre of the universe where the Known Worlds came to be, and some speculate it may have provided the energy and light to help with the creation of the Known Worlds as they are today. Many of the early beings in the universe worshipped Purhtos as a god, and it gained many followers who developed basic forms of sorcery using its light as their energy source. When Astros arrived to destroy all of life and light in the universe, Purhtos and its followers managed to defeat Astros, casting it back into the dark void of the outer universe. As time passed and civilisation moved on, Purhtos' power began to wane and soon the people that once worshipped it turned on it, fearing it to be an ally of Astros and an old relic of the universe that had outstayed its welcome. Purhtos, in an effort to preserve itself, used its remaining light energy to split itself into two entities that could travel across one axis of spacetime each, in order to hide from those that sought to destroy it. These two entities are Danny, The Dimension Hopper and Timmy, The Time Traveller. They are unable to see or interact with each other, and mainly exist as harmless observers throughout reality and beyond.

Appearance
Purhtos appeared like a star: an enormous, sun-sized sphere of blinding white light. However unlike a real star, it was made of and emitted pure light energy.

Abilities
Purhtos, in its prime, was once the most powerful being in the universe, alongside Astros. It attacked darkness by casting out blinding beams of light energy that would seek out anything teeming with ancient darkness and illuminate it with destructive force.

It's unknown how fast Purhtos could travel as it mostly remained stationary at the centre of the universe, however its likely that it could match the blistering speeds that Astros did when it travelled across the cosmos.

Intelligence
Purhtos was a sentient being of reasonable intelligence. Unlike Astros, it was observed communicating with its followers, and could recognise other forms of life and make conscious choices about them. It didn't seem to have a burning hatred for darkness as Astros did for light, instead seeing itself more as a defender against Astros taking total control of reality. It was also intelligent enough to divide itself into two parts that could hide in space and time from its enemies.
