Dark Spectrum

“Hello, we meet finally.”

“Who is this!? You aren’t Puff! Who are you, and how did you get into my head!?”

“Really, is that how you talk to me!? After all these years of giving you gifts and making life easy. Pity, maybe you are just like the other mortals.”

“Wait, no, it can’t be.... Is that really you?”

“Took you long enough. Yes, it is me.”

“How are you here? I... I thought you were dead?”

“I wouldn’t be surprised. After all, what they did to my physical form was quite horrible. But none of that is important right now, I know you have more pressing questions.”

“Why are you here now? Couldn’t you have been there when....”

“No, I could not. Do you have a problem with that?”

“Heh... I missed your complete disregard for life.”

“Well, what would you expect from me. You didn’t really think I would just act like a saint to every bloody person I walked up too, now did you?”

“Of course not.”

“Good, or else I would have thought you for a fool. Anyways, do you know where you are?”

“Yes.”

“Good.”

“...What have I done?”

“What are you talking about?”

“That kid. She... she... why did I kill her.”

“Look, you know who I am. The answer should be obvious.”

“But still, it was horrible!”

“You better focus on the task. To complete your task, you are going to have to do these things. You will descend into the darkness. You must let it feed on you, consume you, become you. Only then will you be able to complete your task.”

“What are you saying?”

“I’m asking you. How far are you going to go to avenge your family? To take back your life, and spit in the face of the one who took it away from you.”

“...”

“Will you join me, as your ancestor did so long ago.”

“It won’t make a difference, he was too weak to fight, what makes you think I can?”

“You have darkness in your heart, but there is also light, entwined and entangled with the darkness. It is... strange. But it shows that you are different.”

“But is it good that I am different?”

“Well, you are so far the only one in the entire clan who has fully mastered their demon, so I would say it makes you worthy.

“But...”

“Shut up! I swear, if you keep on running your mouth I will rip it off and shove it... never mind. Do we have a deal, Black Moon?”

“Y.... Y.... Yes...”

“Good, now, watch as I work my magic. As the two of us become one.”

...

“I see it now... It is so beautiful.”

“Now mine, I mean your enemies will tremble at our might.”

“Yes.”

“Now go, show them that you can do far more than what they have seen. Show them the true power of dark magic!”

“Of course, sir.”

...

“Finally, he has succumbed.”
