The spell he whispered drew thick dark drops of liquid leaking from his body, rolling down his arm, and out. "Risthor tiem uhlanor yreit." These miniscule droplets, converged into a long arm-length spiral lake, twisting and circling the white floating rocks, slowly seeping into them, soaking the crystals in deep blackness. These were what Ekron called: The Shards Of Darkness. His darkness. Another snap from his fingers, forced each shard to appear in front of a lord, a supposed demigod he had summon, and so did a key: brilliantly shimmering, fighting off the dark progeny from the shards beside it.

I, on the other hand, opened the bottle and drank my frustration about my unending nightmares. "The reason you have come to La Fleur, may I ask?" he delved. I ignored his question and continued drinking, finishing the bottle in one go. Fenrir laughed at me, amused and I bet he finally realized that I am as problematic as everyone here. "Amico, you know what to do with things that frustrate you," he said cockily. I drew my attention to him as I put down the liquor battle. He stared at me with red eyes and showed me his fangs. I did the same.

His previously pale skin went dark, becoming charcoal gray, as the very essence of Hell itself coursed into his veins and turned him into a being no one could recognize. "I—ahhh!" His yell was interrupted as his mouth twisted into a grotesque grin. A grin that wasn't his—a grin of craziness, of victory, of a person who had passed the point of no return. The smoke coalesced, wrapping around his limbs, threading through his bones, chaining him to the very nature of the dark magic he had made a pact for. His flesh seemed to be ripped asunder, every part of him desecrated, but somehow, he held on. Somehow, the power was sufficient. The fury was sufficient. It drove him, kept him going, kept him

he says in a threatening tone, which just amuses me, so I stand up from the chair, take out my gun and place it on the table, smile sideways and slide it towards him. “Here... try it...” I say sarcastically, Griffin looks at the gun and smiles sideways, then leans over and comments amused “I'm not stupid Dark… do you think I don't know why you have your men outside? That possibly at this moment that blonde slut has my head in her sights and this lapdog of yours can at any moment pierce me with his queer knives?... I know how you think and how you move... I would never do something as stupid as attacking the head of Darkness in his own territory alone…” he finishes, he smiled broadly because

Back on the shore, Panni let out a scream that shattered the silence of the island. The black rot vanished instantly, but in its place, her skin began to turn to wood.

Haggard in appearance, his usually knife-shaven jaw sported thick bristles, his usually poised look marred by his messy braid and bloodshot eyes. Rough time? Too bad. He opened his mouth as if to speak, but under her glare, clamped it shut. She felt her arm on her other side lift, and she tilted her view to see Golden Grin holding her by the hand.

Garam didn’t move as we pounded swiftly towards him. He stood at the far edge of the rooftop, robes billowing like wings, arms still folded across his chest, and his grin unwavering. Behind him, shadows coiled and thickened, growing taller and broader, forming the outline of a monstrous beast made of pure darkness.
