The air was thick , filled with nothing but blinding darkness all around with just a small patch of light near the gate.
No one dared to move into the darkness. And Someone asked' what are we supposed to do here he didn't give any instructions'
The light from the gate started to dim, then it went away Thorne couldn't see anything, but he could feel himself move he couldn't tell which direction or how fast, he didn't know how long he had been in there but when he could see he saw a faint red mist and a cold air washed over him like a gentle breeze.
He walked towards the mist and when he reached it he could see a feint light illuminated far away.
Without hesitation he walked towards the light ,the closer he got the brighter the light was, after moving for some time he reached what looked like a cave entrance but it wasn't an entrance it was an exit.
Outside the cave The ground was red and the soil looked like it was moving ,The sky looked like blood smeared on a ceiling, the ground had grass unusually red they looked almost fleshy and everywhere was pools of boiling blood, there were trees too trunks were like the inside of human skin crimson flesh moving about, the branches looked like it was bone parts coming out of the fleshy creation ,it didn't have leaves but it had hair same colour as everything else but a bit lighter in red.
' is this supposed to be the inside of a god ' this was the most unholy thing thorne had ever seen.
Thorne slowly moved out of the cave and into the crimson grass as he put his foot in the grass then the fleshy grass moved creating a wave that went in every direction Thorne didn't think anything about this and started walking in a random direction he didn't know where to go so he just went wherever he thought was the least fleshy.
He walked for almost an hour but there was no sign of anything different in sight but when he thoughtof giving up he heard the sound of footsteps in the distance he didn't know what to do there was nowhere to hide the trees looked like they would eat me alive and the water looked like it would boil me alive.
He couldn't tell which direction the sound came from as he could hear it from every direction.
And then he saw it, it looked like a man but made out of moving flesh there was no bone but it looked sturdy it had eyes everywhere in it's body,in the arms,in the chest,in the legs the flesh on it's body moved like small worms trying to get inside the ground.
Thorne wanted to move but his body wasn't listening as if the flesh in his body wasn't his anymore his body wanted to move towards the fleshy abomination not just move towards the moving pile of flesh but tear off his body and join the wiggling mass of flesh trying to get inside.
The closer it got the harder the pull was then it stopped meters from Thorne the flesh started to move faster the countless eyes went bach inside it it got shorter then the flesh changed colour imitating human skin hair started to grow on its head it's face started to change shape.
Soon a black haired boy with black eyes stared back at him it had an emotionless look on it's eyes.
It was just like him. Spitting image of Thorne down to every last detail. The pull stopped but he couldn't move. his flesh was still listening to the imposter in front of him.
The imposter opened it's mouth and said. ' you must be thorne, I'm korrath ' Thorne's face would have a shocked expression but he didn't have control over his body to change his expression.
korrath was the most twisted one out of the gods, hellbent on a deformed idea of fairness and freedom. Korrath held dominion over flesh,blood and bones.only psychotic madmen would worship korrath for a sliver of korrath's power. It was the most feared and hated god out of all of them.
The imposter opened it's mouth again and said ' this avatar of mine is limited and the power I can give you is also limited.
When the imposter said this thorne could feel himself regaining the ability to
Speak once again he knew if he offended this being he would die the most horrible and twisted way imaginable so he quietly said ' I will have to humbly decline your gracious offer' the power gained from a god isn't always equal to the price, it's better to refuse such temptation but Thorne knew if he wanted to live comfortably he had to get the blessing of a deity. But dealing with this thing is just suicide.
The imposter opened it's mouth again and said ' this wasn't an offer, I just said what needed to be said, why would an all powerful deity care about your opinion ' hearing this thorne felt a chill run down his spine ' but don't you care about fairness ' the imposter grinned at him and said ' I'm not limited by morals or rules like the other fools. I'm free, I can do what I choose. I could just give you power without cost but where's the fun in that'. Saying this the imposter's grin widened and it said ' every time you use my power I will take parts of your sanity if you loose too much at once I will take control over your body, you could always regain your lost sanity but I'll constantly be in the back of your mind nudging you'
This was the worst possible outcome, it's telling me to give up my freedom for power, it knows what I hate. Thorne opened his mouth and said to the imposter ' what kind of power can you give that's worth my freedom the imposter's grin disapated and it said ' like I said I can't do anything much in this form so when I show myself don't die.with this the imposter's face morphed again turning into the fleshy abomination once again then the wiggling worm like flesh started to move going inside the ground until there was nothing left.
The sky started to change colour the bloody sky seemed to get even more crimson the grass seemed to grow he could feel the pull on his flesh once again but towards the sky but this time the pull was much harder. then he saw it an eye of unimaginable proportion cutting through the clouds along with the giant eye came a wall of flesh covering the entire sky with grotesque flesh,titanic tendrils moving about independent from each other,then other eyes could be seen hundreds of thousands of them all looking straight at him he could feel his blood getting hotter burning even. the pull on his flesh was much harder than before some pieces of his body broke off and went towards endless flesh this brought unimaginable pain he could feel everything then he started bleeding from his mouth then the eyes then ears and nose soon he was bleeding out of every orifice in his body the blood slowly going towards the fleshy god.
A tendril of flesh came down and offered him what looked like a human heart as soon as he took the heart the tendril moved forward and entered his chest after violently ripping his own heart out and went back to the fleshy sky.
Even though his heart was ripped out he didn't die he felt unimaginably pain but still stayed alive and standing. it was clear what he had to do he slowly put the heart in his hand to the hole in his chest and nerves came out of his chest to take the heart.
When the heart was in place he could feel the constant pull stop then the pain hit him like a truck and he fell down unconscious...
