《The embodiment of pain, sadness, and hatred》Chapter 2 The Darkness begins
Advertisement
My mind goes blank. It takes me a while to register what he said. ( W-what?) The man with the beard looked at me (As I said we want you to destroy humanity and everything they were involved with.) I t took me awhile to register what he said before I finally asked (Why me? I'm just a nobody that no one cares about. Besides aren't you all strong enough to do it yourselves.)
They all stared at me then finally one of the guys in the togas spoke (Everything you said is true however the universe isn't really strong actually you could say to us the universe is more than glass.) Then the other toga guy spoke (If we were to do this than any power we use would leak into the universe and in all likely hood destroy it.) Then the one called Imelda spoke (It isn't easy to make a universe you know! It takes serious power and everything has to be perfect down to the last detail.)
After hearing this I was so scared that my legs nearly gave out from under me. But I used every last ounce of willpower I had to remain standing. (These people wipe everything out in an instant if they wanted to) I thought to myself. Then the girl in the lab coat spoke (The reason we chose you is because even death could not take away your pain. It could not soften your sadness and it could not dampen your growing hatred. All of these were what the humans gave you. They not only harmed you physically but emotionally and mentally.)
When she finished I began to understand a little but then a thought entered my mind (Aren't their others like me? What makes me different?) One of the toga guys spoke (All most all of them went insane to soften the pain or had some purpose in their lives.) Then the other toga guy spoke (You however you kept your sanity even though it slipped a little there in the end and no one gave you a purpose other than to be a puppet for their amusement.)
I could feel the pain again as it started growing more painful after hearing what he said then I asked (So why would you all want the humans gone?) The person to answer this was surprisingly the woman wearing twigs. (The humans are starting to destroy everything along with themselves. If this keeps up then there will be no life in the universe.) I began to think about what was said and couldn't help but agree with her after all many species of plants and animals have gone extinct because of humans. As I was thinking the man with the beard said (Of course we will reward you with a new life and our guarantee that you will finally experience happiness.)

Hearing this I almost readily agreed to this however before I answered I thought about it a little and said (What will happen to the other species which are connected to humanity?) The farm girl answered (They will be reborn forgetting everything about their past life and everything about humans.) I couldn't help but sigh in relief (At least they wont stop existing and maybe they will be happier.) While I was thinking this a thought occurred to me. I then looked at them and said (I will happily agree but only if the humans that are innocent also get reborn.) I tried to look at them without fear on my face but it was next to impossible. Then the man with the beard said (What do you mean by innocent?) His voice sounded a little annoyed. However I forced myself to push on (I mean like children and people who like me are powerless and are forced to be in constant pain for doing nothing.)
They all looked at me then themselves for a little while before finally the devil guy spoke (Your condition is fair however we will judge which are guilty because even though they suffer does not mean they are exempt from humanity's crimes.) Hearing this I was a little happy because those that are innocent will at least get a chance at happiness. Having my mind made up I said (Than I agree to your offer.) They all looked at me and smiled and the woman with the twigs said (To do this you will need some serious power which we will give you but I must warn you it will be pain that even exceeds the pain you feel inside yourself.) I hesitated a little before I said (Any price is worth it as long as I finally get to feel happiness.)
Their smiles grew even more before they all lifted up a hand and a black looking orb left each of their hands. The orbs slowly flew towards me. Before they got to me I noticed something moving in a few of them and they all gave off an aura that one would avoid at all costs. Before I could have second thoughts they all entered my body and a pain that no one should receive entered me. Even a genius of pain and torture could never come near this feeling. I immediately fell forward screaming and clawing at myself to get the pain out. This went on for what felt like an eternity before the pain lessened to the amount I always feel. However unlike before felt power, great power, power that makes one think that they can do anything.

After I finally stood up the man the beard said (You will have to figure out how to use this power yourself.) Then there was another flash of light and immediate darkness. I felt like I was in water but I could still breath and even though it was completely black I could see through it to a light that was above me. I swam towards the light and when I emerged I found myself in a forest. But that thought soon disappeared because when I looked down there was no water. Instead their was solid ground with a dark circle about 5 feet in diameter which I was in the center of. Inside the circle was just darkness. Even the ground was completely black.
I began wondering how I swam in the solid ground. Also while I looked into the darkness it seemed to go down into the earth like a hole when I knew I was on solid ground. I then tried walking out of the circle but the circle stretched into the way I was heading still 5 feet ahead of me. Now the circle turned into an oval. But I was confused because when I started moving I felt things entering the darkness. I soon came to realize it was the grass and a few bugs under the ground. I could tell because when the darkness touches it I could both see and feel it like it was a part of my very being.
However they quickly became a part of the darkness. I began to focus on the spot where the bugs were trying to focus on the spot the bugs were just at. But I was soon seeing what looks like a tunnel while at the same time looking out through my own eyes at the forest. I was a bit surprised at first but after a little while I came to realize that wherever the darkness is I can see through it whether be above or below. However I can only see 5 feet away from the darkness that I created in any direction. I decided to call this . After this I walked towards a tree. As soon as the darkness touched it the tree began to sink straight into the ground. It was like the earth was pulling on its roots forcing the tree to go down.
The tree soon disappeared into the darkness leaving no trace it even existed. I reached out my hand touching the ground then it hit me. (I HAVE HANDS?!) I immediately looked down and saw my legs and arms. I was so happy to see have a body again that I used to look at myself. I had my original body! Same size, same build, same black hair. However their were 2 changes to my body. 1 were my eyes, they were golden yellow and they seemed to be glowing a little. The 2nd was my eyes looked like they were crying blood. Besides this everything was normal. Same body, same hurricane of pain, sadness, and hatred inside. Then one cold breeze later I realized I was naked.
I put my hands around myself subconsciously. Then what looked like a tentacle shot out of the darkness around me and wrapped me in it. I was a bit surprised but then I thought (Maybe I can make the darkness take on shapes) I was correct when after awhile of concentration I was able to make things with shapes come out of the darkness. I then covered my upper body to my feet in darkness. Only my neck and head was exposed. I then began to walk, darkness still expanding ahead of me and staying where I've been, I was ready to start my mission.
