"So is it just me?" i asked this lesser nobody i was following. "No sir, all of our members are being gathered for a ...briefing, of sorts." replied the lesser nobody.
"Well then, this will oughta make things semi-interesting" i thought to myself.
"Or, this could be the order of a death march..." The voice ringed in my head...that would make sense, but unfortunately for me, i happen to have stumbled in here with less clues than i had hoped for...
"All that matters is that he shows me exactly what i need to know, no more, no less, your fate also lies with these answers, so dont pretend that you dont honestly care... you know as well as i do, once this is all said and done all that matters for both you and I is that we meet her...Oh and by the way, i dont exactly appreciate you trying to kill me in my sleep." i had said responding to the creature that has sealed my fate.
The lesser nobody looked back at me, with nothing but confusion on its face.
"Oh dont look at me like that, you see psychopaths ten times worse then me on a daily basis around here, turn your head around and lead me where i need to go..."
Yes, i was extremely used to that face, the look of astonishment, the look of oddity. the look of people thinking i was insane. you have to get used to it. When you look like your talking to yourself all your life, you get used to people isolating you, thinking you are possessed or something to that degree. Yet, after being isolated for so long, i have never been truly alone. I have been to the point where i would honestly kill to be alone again. But unfortunately my stars dont dictate that that will ever happen. At least not if things continue as they are.
I sighed, looked off in distance down the hall, the hall that never seemed to end.
"You know, sometimes i wonder if it would really be for the best if we find her..."i said quietly...
"You question it!? AFTER WHAT SHE HAS DONE TO YOU AND I?!" it screeched throughout my mind.
"Maybe..." i responded. Unaware of what was about to happen to me, i should have learned along time ago that questioning it was never a good idea.
Instantly, my mind felt a jolt of pain, i screamed, hit the floor, barley able to stay on my knees, hands clenched around my head. The nobody looked at me with astonishment "Sir are you ok!? Sir!...Sir!"
i couldn't hear him anymore, i couldnt hear anything. i couldnt see anything, i was barly able to keep myself breathing much less worrying about what is happening outside my mind.
This has happened before, i knew this trick...Crin wanted to remind me why i was fighting. Crin wanted to show me why i was fighting. Crin took it upon itself to show me why i was driving myself so hard. i was however rather stunned at how furiously it was trying to remind me, usually it just allows the memory to flash in my mind, but it was serious this time, it wanted me to relive moments.
"Which ones will you pick this time!" i yelled in the darkness.
"Oh i know, how about making me relive my parents leaving me! Ooo better yet how about the day i found you in the back of my mind, oh hey, wait how about the day i KILLED my best fri-" i stopped, i looked down, i saw it. I saw the corpse of my best friend, the person who swore to always be by my side, the only one who ever helped me in my life. I saw it, his body scorched, not recognizable at all. But i knew it was him, it was his pendant that i recognized. I stared at it, then saw myself grab it off his skeleton. Then i saw myself breakdown over his body,i looked around me and sighed."This was such a happy place...this was such a peaceful little village."i said to myself as i looked at all the charred houses for miles, all the ruin and devastation for miles..."I caused this all...or, should i say we did..."I said out loud
"It was the first time i had released my power through you, i didn't intend for it to be this catastrophic." It said floating behind me. I didnt look it in the face, i never have. I have had the chance so many times to look Crin in the eyes, i never took it. Why? I dont even know.
"Besides, you released me..."It chimed in.
"I didnt know what i was doing!" i barked back looking over my shoulder, but not far enough to actaully see this demon, this angel, this, demi-god...this creature!
I looked at my broken self, reached out to put my hand on his shoulder, on my shoulder. But just as soon as i had done so it had vanished. I closed my eyes and said..."ok, what next..."
As soon as i opened my eyes i had seen myself, falling against the floor, throwing up.I couldn't help but chuckle at myself and think about how much worse it was going to get, but of course i didnt know that at the time. I Glanced over, and it, the woman that was offering me guidance. Pinned to the wall by a staff...
Her blood smeared across the wall, her arms and legs clearly broken, he lower jaw missing entirely, and her eyes wide open revealing the pain and agony she had suffered before she had finally had the release of death. I looked up, saw the note...the note that would change my life. I knew i was reaching for it, even though this was a mere memory, i couldn't touch anything, i couldnt change anything. I saw the past me reaching to read it.
"ENOUGH!" i yelled... with a tear going down my face, "Please....Crin....dont make me relive this..."
I felt a warm hand on my Shoulder."I am sorry Xatticus." It said in a low voice.
"Its alright..." i said, feeling the ground stir away from under me. i could feel my feet touch new ground. My eyes were closed however. "I wont relive anymore you have made your point..."i chimed in. Then i heard it. I heard my voice. i heard the day i found the extent of what was "my" power.
"COME TO ME, I WILL ONLY KILL YOU ALL ONE BY ONE!" followed by a laughter. Then screams, screams of the thousands of nobodie that were sent to kill me. I had opened my eyes, just a small amount, only enough to see a wave of purple fire. A wave that destroyed, everything.
"NO MORE!" i screamed, and turned around with my eyes closed. Then i felt it, a warm embrace of a hug."Crin?" i questioned. i didn't hear a word i just heard the screams behind me.
I opened my eyes, to see the hallway i was traversing just a moment ago,i stood up. i didn't see the nobody.I had only assumed he had left to get help, or just to get away from me, which wouldn't be a surprise at all i walked a little further before hearing a muffled yell, i turned around. I saw the Nobody pinned to the ceiling with sand, and a assortment of weapons in sand form ,knive's , kama's , small spears. i snapped my fingers, and he feel to the floor. I gathered minerals to my feet, just enough to form a small rather crude mirror, i saw myself, i saw my eyes with white pupils,i saw my hair with the tips being blood red. I looked down.
"HA! well you are one lucky kid, it was only the first stage, anymore and you would be toast!" I said with a smile and laughed.The nobody just pointed down the hall, and yelled at me to go that way...
I walked with a small smile one my face.
"Thank you crin..." i said outloud...
"Your welcome...Atticus..." Crin replied...
