My eyes were met with a blast of light, I raise my arm up to cover my eyes. Once I opened my eyes again I was met with a city that looks like a normal American town. Most importantly I was Infront of a big lab, nearly the size of a soccer field, though in front of me was the guy in my mind. I follow him as he start walking into the lab, he walks through a pair of doors and it shuts behind him but when I try to open it my hand phases through.
I just walk through the door and follow the guy. After a couple minutes of following him he walks through a pair of lab doors, in the lab was a women with long black hair and a white lab coat. She looks a lot like Ophis... Weird. "Dr. Katria, I see you already started. What are we doing today?"
"Ah, hello Kazu~, I'm just doing a simple experiment with my blood today. Last time the blood evaporated after it left my system for 5 minutes, so I wanted to see what would happen if I simulate my average body temperature and put a vial of my blood in there. So, would you grab the syringe for me?" She sits down on a long table and pulls up her sleeve, the man grabs a syringe and pierces her arm, sucking out blood... Well that's what I would call it if it wasn't a thick pure black liquid. Her blood was so black that is didn't have a speck of color. It was simply devoid of color.
"God, your blood creeps me out every time I look at it. Now let's get to it." The man says before another flash of light occurs, this time when the light fades 2 people are running through a forest. The people are the same people from before, except the guy from before is different, this time he has different colored eyes. "Katria! Why are the government chasing us?!"
"They found out about my immortality! They're trying to capture me so they can get it for themselves, those stupid greedy bastards didn't even try to talk!" The woman named Katria yells as they run through the forest, slipping and tripping on mud while running. They can hear FBI and military running at them and screaming. They keep running for another mile or so and the man can't keep up, he falls and collapses while struggling to breathe.
"Kazu!" Katria says running back for him, the man flips his body to lay upwards and he starts speaking. "Katria... Run, turn back.. And run..... Stop talking to me and go! FUCKING RUN DAMMIT! RUN AND RUN AND RUN UNTILL YOU REACH FUCKING ANTARTICA IF YOU HAVE TOO!" He yells, wheezing as his lungs start collapsing from the stress. "Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, FUCK!" Katria then runs away while crying, she ran and ran and ran and ran.
minutes, days, months, years passed. 1 year passed and Katria stopped for a second, looking back as she continued to walk. The building she once loved, the house of the man she once love, the person she once loved. All of it was gone. One day, one day she would outlive everyone, she would watch their world crumble as they die in a hospital. Their heartbeat will slowly fall, and when they die, she would stand over them, she would look at them and spit on their dying corpse.
And yet, another flash of light happened. This time there was nothing to look at other than white, it was pure snow and only snow. Old buildings laid in the ground, the building are crumbling to ash, history dying and crumbling. Now, only 2 people exist in the world. Katria, and another man who looks exactly the same, except he has heterochromia. Katria and the man are inside a large metal building that had survived the apocalypse, Katria is cooking up a meal. Her farm was growing very nice, this metal building was warm, the temperature was perfect for human life.
"Witch, why won't you let me outside this lair of yours? I try to kill you everyday and yet you don't try to kick me out." Katria just smiles and brings the man his food. "I've this quite a bit Kazu, I am not a witch. And as I have said, I love you. I think that is very easy to understand."
"Hm! Not a witch my ass, then tell me how this hell hole of yours is warm?"
"It's called magic dumbass, it's a little thing I learned from my god." Katria smiles, she snaps her hands and creates a bottle of moonshine. "Tch, how can you even smell that stuff. It makes me vomit."
"When you become a couple thousand years old you start liking hard stuff. This shit is nice when I can't have a hangover." The man just sighs and starts eating his food. Another flash of light happens suddenly, this memory lasting a lot less longer than the last one.
This memory is the same building as the last time, looking the exact same as last time. Instead this time, the man from before has grown old, his skin wrinkly and his breathing very slow. "Ah, Katria, i'm sorry. It seems this old man can't live on any longer." He says, putting his hand on her cheek.
"Hah, you're a couple thousand years younger than me. I know, one day you will come back to me, like you always have. You know, this is the 84th time you have been reincarnated. This is 84th time you have ever fallen in love with me, and this will be the 84th time you have died. Kazu, even as I get swallowed the hive-mind of infinity, I will always love you, nothing will stop me. I love you goddammit, why do you always have to die! Why did I have to be curious, why did I want to be immortal!" Katria screamed, her eyes watering and falling, her grip tightening on the mans dying corpse.
"Katria... I love you.. Please, don't hate.. yourself." He says softly, his arm slowly getting heavier every second, before his arm falls to the side of the bed he was laying on. Katria stands up and walks outside, the world crumbling around her.
"Well come on, what are you doing! Come consume me you fuck, but I warn you now, once you absorb me, I WILL CONSUME YOU MYSELF! I WILL BECOME INFINITY, AND I WILL HAVE HIM BACK!" She screams into the air, her voice spawning a hole, sucking in everything around her. The void sucks her in, and never spits her back out.
Suddenly my sight becomes normal and I see the plane of water again, I sit up and hyperventilate. Holding my head trying to deal with the horrible headache. "So, do you believe me now?"
"What in the fuck are you?"
"I've told you already, I am the old, you are the new. I am your old soul, and you are the new soul, your soul is stronger and that is why you're in control. The fits of rage, the bursts of lust and love, that was all me, I am what caused those reactions. The demon invading your mind was a way for me to talk to you, thankfully it worked. And now you know some of the truth, at least the most I can show you without Katria killing me... Oh wait, that isn't her name anymore. Ophis was it? Now, I believe it's time for you to head back, she is waiting for you." My 2nd soul says, lifting his hand and pressing it against my head, forcing me back into reality.
