The knight vanished from sight just for Ankoku to see a plated fist plunge into his stomach caving in deeply knocking him upwards the knight vanishes again as he appears next to him in the air raising both hands up clasped together and slams them into his back sending him straight back to the ground coughing up blood as the rocks and dirt get destroyed around him leaving a crater around him. He lays there breathing heavily coughing up blood he tries to get back up just to see the fist inching towards his face as if out of nowhere smashing deeply into his face shattering his left eye and a part of his skull. He slams his head back down, increasing the crater around him coughing up blood and bleeding tremendously from his head. The knight towering above him staring down coldly with a dark aura around him simply raises his right hand and his great sword flies into his hand swinging it sharply to the right side after catching it creating a slice of wind that cuts the tree in the distance. He stares at Ankoku as he lay bleeding and plunges his sword into his stomach and chest pulling his sword out and walking slowly towards the way the others ran. Ankoku lay bleeding out tears welling in his eyes as he tried to crawl towards the woods his siblings ran, he made it deeper into the woods but had no strength to crawl more, he rolls onto his back staring up at the sky rain drops ever so gently began to fall landing on his cheek, tears streaming down the sides of his head as he thought to himself,
"I'm sorry mother, Im sorry father, I let you down again. Forgive me.."
As he lay bleeding out all he could think was about the knights that mercilessly attacked his home and killed his family, the engravings on the dead knights bodies outside his home.. He thought to himself
"bastards, bastards, bastards, bastards, bastards, ill kill all of you every single one of you, If only I had the strength ill murder all of you. I'd avenge my family. I hate this weak body of mine. I can't do anything, I cannot protect anything I love, I lose and lose and lose, I never win, the world hates me, why should I lose if I haven't been given anything more, why take my family, why take my friends, why.. why.. why.. why.. WHY!!! I hate you, all of you die, die now, die horrible deaths. If I wasn't so useless many people would be alive, why did i go to the farm? Maybe if I was home I could've helped more, if I was home maybe we could've gotten away faster. This life, the next life, the one after, the one after that, I will get my revenge on you. I do not care how many years or lifetimes it takes you will feel my pain. I will make you experience what I..have experienced, you will know the anguish you caused me. I will do anything for the power to get my revenge. I will give up anything and everything!"
The rain becomes heavier and thunder crackling as his face is becoming more and more covered in water, the mud wrapping around his hair as his blood trails through the water around him. in that moment lighting and heavy winds started to appear faster and faster until he swears he could hear voices. Then as he was thinking he was going insane the whispers became louder and began talking to him louder and louder. All he hears is
"what would you do to attain what you wish for?" said one voice then the other deeper and quieter he says "what would you sacrifice for the power you truly seek?" he responds with
"I will do anything I will do everything, I will sacrifice everything as long as I make those bastards pay" Then the two figures appear, one blue and one red. They both say it in sync
"what is your name child?"
"Ankoku" he says softly struggling to speak
"Well then Ankoku do you pledge your life and soul to us?"
the blue one speaks
"Im fujin" red figure voice echoes as he screams,
"I am Raijin, now do you swear?"
"I Ankoku son of Tatsumi and son of Suzumi, swear my life and soul to you Raijin, and to you Fujin."
The gods say at the same time in deep bellowing voices say, "Then we shall bless you with our powers, our wisdom, and our strength" as this happens Ankoku is struck by lightning as he glows a bright blinding shade of blue and red purple light merging at his heart with a cage of blue and red lightning surrounding him holding him down as if in a cage. Ankoku lets out a blood curdling scream echoing through the woods filled with sorrow and anguish.
AFTER FIVE DAYS
Ankoku slowly opens his eyes, his vision is blurry however he is able to make out that he is in some sort of cave he begins to sit up feeling a sharp pain as memories flood back into his head, his eyes widening in grief and despair, the right side of his hair begins to turn red as his left eye turns a bright aqua with a snake like pupil. Ankoku begins to scream and cry remembering his parents deaths and most likely the demise of his siblings, however, he remembers the dark knight, shu, and his expression slowly changes to that of rage and hatred tears still streaming from his eyes.
"Eledriyas Grasp"
A voice in the far distance and the clanking noises of swords can be heard as he stares at the entrance of the cave.
