"How did I get here? Wasn't I just in Liliths mansion?" Okami asked not expecting an answer as she looked out twords a frosted tundra filled with bloodied corpses that laid still in the crimson snow
"Oh? Dont tell me you've forgotten... My Love"
Okami stood paralyzed with a stiff body as the chilling voice filled her ears
"You should be ashamed, how could you forget all the torture and shame I went through that day your just like that girls father you know? You could have very well tried to help but instead you were fearful and ran away countless times just to end up repeating the same event over and over"
Okamis mind raced with different thoughts as she turned her head to face the voice speaking to her, however as soon as she this person her entire world stopped
Time seemingly stood still as memory after memory flooded Okamis mind, all the years of torture and torment all came rushing back in that very moment replaying countless times in her mind
All her cherished memories became painful as she watches her only love in the entire world be ripped from her again and again
Lyn's look of pain and anguish as those men ravaged her filled Okamis brain almost driving her insane
"Its seems you reamber, how you abandoned us countless times for your own survival just to end up dying a few months later, how pitiful" The voice was full of disgust and hatred for the person standing infront of it
"I tried.. I- " This was the truth every time she re-lived that event she would try different ways to help but it was if something was blocking her no matter what action she took she would space out and stop what she was doing, until that day were she murdered everlast one of them, it felt good she felt relief but at the same time what did she truly accomplish by killing them?
Her actions couldn't be considered righteous our praise worthy, they were just a bunch of naive fresh adults who were drunk on there new found freedom
And to top it off she couldn't even save the ones she wanted to protect, 'Why am I so useless'
At that moment Okami felt something shatter inside as she fell to her knees with tears threatening to spill from her eyes
"Is it guilt your feelings, perhaps self loath.. after seeing you stand strong for so many years it's an amazing sight to behold watching you fall I to despair and depression"
Looking up Okami met Lyns bloodshot eyes and destroyed face
"Come on, fall into depravity and corruption I want to see you suffer just as I did!!"
Various emotions ran through Okamis mind as she screamed out in pain causing her powers to run rampant
All the snow in the area turned jet black while any plants that were nearby immediately began to decay and wither away
Blood floated into the air creating small floating crystal as the bodies they originated from twitched and convulsed before standing up with a great deal of difficulty
A wild blizzard began to violently pick up as Okami hugged her shivering body while planting her forehead into the cold snow
"This isn't real... This isnt real... None of this is real" She desperately tried telling herself but with the memories of Lyn and Sarah's suffering Fresh in her brain Okami was finding it harder and harder to repeat this phrase
"Oh but it is darling.. you cant escape your past as much as you want to your destiny has been set from the very beginning, you will never lead a life of true happiness for the owner of your soul wont allow it" The corpse of Lyn bellowed with it's dead fish looking eyes
Okamis breathing became labored as he nails dug into the skin of her arms as she frantically tried to block out this demons words
"You arent her.. this isnt rea-" Tears fell down Okamis face before freezing instantly and shattering to dust
"Keep telling yourself that but from.the looks of it your just in denial, come one explain to me why you couldn't help why you sat there and watched your lover and best friend have there lives viciously taken from them"
Okami had no wards as the storm gre larger with every new blood crystal and undead being made
"I'm sorry.. I tried it really did" Okami sobbed, in all her life this is the first time her emotions have truly broken her, she could no longer keep everything suppressed even her corruption couldn't keep it in check
"Tsk what a waste of space, and to think I actually slept with and loved a pathetic creature such as you"
At those words Okami immediately snapped as the irises of her eyes turned a ruby red and her faded into a silvery white
Okamis mind went blank as her body curled up in the center of the raging storm around her
Lyn's broken body smiled warmly as all of her previous injuries healed instantly, "Good luck, and forgive me"
With those words Her body faded away without a trace
[!!Corruption Absorbed!!]

[In the real world]
Okamis body was currently locked in a death match between her and Hawkins (Liliths father)
However the victor was clear as the old mans power was steady waning as Mp plummeted with ever attack he blocked
Okami on the other hand was ruthless in her assault with a complete disregard for injury or safety
Sweat rolled down the mans brow as he quickly blocked Okamis incoming attack using a shield made of hardened blood however to his confusion a follow up attack didnt occur looking over he was amazed to the girl completely motionless with her twin black Ice daggers held by her side,
"Is it over?!" Hawkins wife asked hesitantly but immediately shut up after receiving her husbands glare
"Lyn.. Lyn.." Okami muttered the words a few times as her head rose to match the vampire however this time instead of the expressionless face from before he was met with a sinister gaze and creepy smile
One of the girls eyes had turned a golden in color while the other was a blood red
"Ahh, The world seems so different from the last time I reamber" A creepy yet seductive voice echoed from her throat as the golden eye locked on to Hawkin before turning completely serious
"I have settled this creatures mind for now, Hawkins wernt you supposed to protect my daughter? Not toss her infront of a calamity!"
The voice sounded furious as Okamis head tilted to the side slightly, in response Hawkins immediately bowed with his moist hair falling around his face
"Yes my lord, I apologize I did not expect the northern calamity to be present here I truly apologize from the bottom of my decrepit heart and hope that you will find some mercy to gift this old man"
The creature possessing Omami grinned as the golden eye peered over twords Hawkins wife "My dearest daughter be sure to stay on your best behavior for I shall be returning soon, as for you Hawkins such a blunder shant repeat itself am I clear?!"
"Yes lord may this world find warmth in your embrace" The creature smiled as the golden eye slowly transitioned to match the others crimson color all the while Okamis hair slowly faded from its deep black to a clear and beautiful white even the feathers on her wings began changing white with light grey tips
The girl released a frosty breath causing ice crystals to form in the air as she loomed up through the dining halls destroyed ceiling and into the sky
"Why cant I just die in peace..." She muttered with a deep sadness in her eyes as a multitude of notifications appeared on her display

....
All of her rampaging emotions from before were now calm and mellow devoid of any ripples or fluctuations... it felt nice Okami enjoyed this feeling as the sclera of her eyes returned back to there normal white hue
"Were is Lilith?" Okami's enchanting voice echoed through the now destroyed hall as she glanced over the room finding countless dead servants with Liliths family backed into a corner
Hawkins choked up as he flinched from her merely looking at him, she may be come but the overwhelming sense of death constantly surrounded her body sending danger signals throughout his body immediately putting him on guard
"I asked a question.. " Okami's eyes narrowed as Hawkins suddenly felt deaths scythe pressed against his throat
"I- I dont know.. what do you want with her?" Okami wings flapped twice before folding closed
"That doesn't concern you. What happened here I'd prefer if hastened your response this time"
Hawkins immediately ped with fright this woman gave off the same feeling as his lord
It felt as if death himself was peering straight through him it was cold, unfeeling, with an unfathomable amount of energy radiating forth
"I asked a simple question it shouldn't be hard to explain" Okami said taking a step forward however her body wasn't yet accustomed to her new power
As her foot met the floor the marble tile underneath cracked and gave in creating a perfect impression of her foot into the floor
"Still wont answer, fine then there is reason for you to continue breathing" Danger filled Hawkins senses as the blood coating his wounds began to float and flake off and orbit his body
"OKAMI!! What the hell happened!!" Liliths panicked filled voice
Okami's dead eyes brightened a bit as she saw Liliths face but only a small bit
"I'm trying to determine that very thing, though your dearest father seems to be very tight lipped about the matter"
"We gave located the source of the disturbance my lord quickly this way!!" a stern and panicked voice shouted above everyone
Okami clicked her tounge as she peered through the collapsed ceiling to spot a man atop a elegant white pegasus dressed in a silvery plate armor from head to toe
"The king is here!!" Hawkins called out while glaring over at Okami with a new found confidence, 'Surely the king will be able to stop this beast' he thought however when he looked at Okamis face he paled once more to see her unmotivated and uncaring expression twords this mans arrival
"What a bother how dare these humans interrupt my investigations"
Okami's personality seemingly changed in an instance however only her now deceased partner ones would know that this was the true Okami, when she was around Sarah and Lyn Okami would always put up a fake smile and personality full of life but she accidentally slipped up a few times around Lyn and eventually told her about it
"Okami, Wait you cant! Those are the kings men if you fight them you'll become an enemy of the empire!"
Okami glanced at Lilith as the image of Lyns panicked face evertime she was injured flashed across her mind
"Fine.. Lilith grab what you need we are leaving this place, unless you intend to stay with these people then I will be on my way immediately"
"Ye- yes.. " Lilith said lowering her head slightly has her cheeks flushed a rosey color she didnt understand what was happening but she found Okami's new personality and look extremely attractive and couldn't hide it completely
"Lilith, Is there an issue?" Lilith snapped back to reality and locked eyes with Okami
"Um what happened to your appearance?"
"Dont know" Okami responded simply as while raising her hand
In an instant a thick layer of ice glazed over the entire ceiling of the dining hall
Okami squinted and looked at the palm of her hand with a slight hint of disgust, 'I was truly broken and depressed only a few moments ago.. why am I suddenly so calm? Even for me that's odd..' Okami decided to investigate this matter at a later date as he eyes fell on Lilith once more
"Hurry, if you take to long I cant promise the lives of the incoming soldiers"
