I sat down on a nearby chair, knowing that Ren was defeated, panting. Looking at him straight in the eye, he and I began to talk.

"It's a shame Ren," I said. "You could've helped me,"

"I could've, but in the state, I'm in, I'll probably only last a few minutes," Ren coughed up some blood which tattered the pants I was wearing.

"I guess so."

I took a look at my pants and saw that the blood that Ren coughed on me was instead soaking into my skin. oubəɹɐɔɥʇ was still in effect, even though I wasn't holding it, his blood still absorbed into me. I smirked and opened my mouth again.

"What was your purpose in trying to kill me?"

"To be honest, I didn't have one,"

"So what was the point on hunting me down, I didn't know I was coming here not so long ago, after killing Adlif and becoming a vampire, so how did you know?"

"You mentioned to me that you were transported to Antral every time you fell asleep so that I could sense your Aura,"

"Bullshit, how were you able to find me?"

"The soul ability to locate anything, and the advanced source to create portals, or as he put it, the ability to warp anywhere, as long as he knows where it is," Ren described someone. I shuddered for a moment, realizing this man's power.

"Name of this man's power, now," I forced my aura as much as I could.

"If I knew, I already would've told you, and don't try to invade my mind, it's already dying, and even if you could,"

"How did you know?"

"The man also can invade your memories,"

"And why are you telling me this?"

"Because… Because you were the only person ever not to look at me with hatred,"

I sat there confused, wondering what he was talking about. It wasn't long before he began to speak again.

"Due to my soul ability, everyone looked at me with unrelenting eyes, and I didn't know why, because I only see myself as myself, not who I was angry at last,"

"I see, but your soul ability is supposed to mirror your soul at the time, so why did it become that then?" I picked up oubəɹɐɔɥʇ before standing up, using it as a balance.

"Gener," Ren whispered. My body began to erupt in anger and wild lightning strikes emitted from my body, even if I tried my best to remove myself of emotion, that name still shook me to the bone. I quickly calmed down, and the lightning settled, I then asked Ren the question.

"What about that corpse? What does HE have to do with anything about your origin!"

"Calm down Dyne; I believe you would know what 'bastard' is,"

"It's a child that was born from two people that aren't betrothed, wait... don't tell me,"

"My mother was a woman in a nice village in Antral called Fewyn, Gener decided to make her a slave to pleasure one's desires, and he did, so she forcefully had me and a younger sister, my mother died due to birthing her, and soon I was adopted into Gener's family, as a slave for his youngest daughter, Mary,"

"So you were family,"

"Family, if you could call it that. Beating, starving, missing one stain that three years old made with DIRT! One day I snapped, and that's when it happened, I turned into something she feared so much that she died of it, her deceased bastard sister,"

There was a pause, as Ren's eyes began to water with tears. I gripped oubəɹɐɔɥʇ just in case of an attack, but instead, Ren continued.

"Gener saw this and decided to train me, into something that no one could be able to like, only hate, and that is me you see today,"

"I see,"

"All except you, in the first time in my life, I considered you a friend,"

"So?"

"I was stronger than you, and you cheated your way to the top, by getting those markings,"

"I didn't even want them,"

"THAT'S WHY!!!" I became confused, but Ren kept on yelling. "That's why I now despise you, that's why I hunted you down, I wanted my revenge. I WANTED TO KILL MY BASTARD FATHER BECAUSE OF HIM MY MOTHER DIED. I DESPISE YOU DYNE; I WANT YOU TO DIE, FOR KILLING MY FATHE-."

I impaled Ren in the chest with oubəɹɐɔɥʇ and watched him draw his final breath.

"Thank you for acknowledging me as your friend Ren."

I lost all control of my legs and fell to the ground, being filled with a new emotion. I began to loosen my face and grin, that emotion I began to feel was a pleasure, like with killing the torturer and Adlif, it was the same feeling, except this time it was much more substantial.

'So to get this emotion, I have to have to be beaten by a person beforehand,' I thought. 'How magnificent.'

I looked up and began to see Ren's face changing. It only took a moment, but it only took that long for him to look like Lance, to something different.

He was bald, his skin, blue and flakey. Arms and legs long, his body was thin, and his bones were showable. He wore nothing, and his genitals weren't present. Ren's nose was large and deformed; his nostrils were able to be seen even if you look at the top of his head, while his eyes were pure white with small black pupils.

I smiled for a bit before looking up and seeing his soul above his body bow his head to me. I smiled and pierced Ren again with oubəɹɐɔɥʇ, which made him turn to a cloud of blue dust. As I saw his soul dust begin to disappear, I heard a particular echo of Ren's real voice.

"Thank you for being my first and last friend… Dyne." His voice was kind and soothing, and I was the last one to hear it.

I lost the pleasure of killing him, with a natural smile on his face. It was fine until I heard some footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw that Lance was panting at the door, he looked at me with an evil look and began to talk.

"Dyestral, w-what did you do?"
