A darkness that loomed throughout the heaven and the earth—where the void and the unknown collide and intertwined.
Inside the secluded realm of endless abyss.
The darkness of the abyss never once wavered to light; a secluded domain of fortune and curse.
Heart-wrenching cries reverberated through the air, carried by the long winds—it echoed passed through the endless all-encompassing darkness.
...
Is this...truly how it ends, my lord?
A voice that seemed to have belonged to the darkness, like a dwindling fire, rang throughout the whole expanse.
I've served with loyalty, that was ingrained even in the depths of my mind.
I, like a slave, had followed you.
Through worlds and realms.
Through victory and defeats.
I killed—for your hands shall not be smeared.
I obeyed—for you are the lord, whom I pledged to.
Suppression longs my name, for I grew numb of the countless blood I've spilled.
Even when my sanity and humility lamented, screaming out in pain; I disregarded them all calling your name.
I, alone, had been with you through ups and despairs.
And... Now you're telling me that...this is the reward I deserved!?
Are you fucking mad!?
My lord, since when!?
Since when did death become a reward!?
Perhaps...I was wrong after all.
...
After thousands of years.
Here remains the same, the darkness, the void—the anguish of whispering cries.
Chains of the abyss, a lingering despair.
Here I ask myself.
Shall I be vengeful, my lord? Like my idling dying body, shall I wish you same?
What...does it even mean to be alive?
To die...?
What is life...?
What is...my purpose?
It's... always been the same...the same echoes, cries, and pleeding—was it never enough?
...
After an unknown years.
How long has it been?
A thousand of years?
A hundreds of thousands of years...?
Ah, its...been so long I can't remember.
The piercing elusiveness of the past, now a imaginary vividness.
For so long I've waited; but as though the sovereigns vie my existence—I've been forgotten, ha haha, no.
I was... thrown away like a useless trash.
My name, now a vanished desolation— that even I, couldn't remember.
What means is there to be living when...my purpose had long been served?
Must I covet life?
Must I be vengeful?
Must I?
Must I?
Must I?
Must I? Must I? Must I?
Must I? Must I? Must I?
Must I? Must I? Must I?
Must I...?
...
After oh so long years.
"Is this the afterlife... ha, haha?" Chrove muttered, a strange calm settling over him, "I really did die after all." there was no panic on his voice—only a profound sense of conflict in him.
How could he find peace in such a disorienting void?
A mutter vivid of confusion was clear and new; perhaps... I've grew numb and sensitive to the cries that echoed like whispering lies... but who dared to enter my home!?
"It's so dark in here"
A human...? For someone who died he sure looks...calm...it makes me envious... ha haha.
The void stretched infinitely before him, and he wandered, each step echoing in the vast emptiness.
Clank. Clank.
Such interesting human...a perfect...vessel...
The sound resonated through the stillness, mingling with anguished whispers that flickered like elusive shadows.
Each drop of water sent ripples of haunting familiarity through the air.
Whoosh—
The wind howled, a mournful wail that carried the weight of unspoken sorrows, stretching for miles before brushing against his ears.
"This?!" he gasped, disbelief washing over him as a radiant light pierced through the gloom. An irresistible force drew him toward it, urging him closer.
In the shadowy corner of what seemed an endless abyss, an all-consuming darkness enveloped the vast expanse, swallowing every hint of light. Yet, amidst this gloom, a rare flicker ignited, casting an ethereal glow that danced across the void.
A voice resonated from the depths, cold and hoarse: "You... child of chaos... what do you desire?"
"What I want..." his voice echoed through the stillness, a tremor of longing beneath the surface.
If I...haven't have met this guy...
"I want to..."
If he, whose calmness a unique requiem had just requested of something...I could've taken over his body...
But I never would've thought...
"I want to devour you."
but I never would've have thought...him to be actually ruthlessly insane!
------
"The secluded realm of endless abyss..."
To think that I would actually be captured by such a insane man...but to think that I'm actually back... The body I reside to is a rather interesting man... cruel to others, but even more to himself...
And...he fucking revived!? A flesh and blood...his body burned into nothingness...but he revived, and how!?
And why am I still here!?
Just to suffer!?
But...this should be interesting...I, sure will have the chance. If not now, then I'll wait.
To fulfill my purpose... or to perish.
