So... Happy Reading?


Darkness

That's all I ever see. For hundreds of years of living in this nothingness, not a thing ever crossed my line of sight. It's all just an empty void, just like how my mind and heart is.

Ha. I don't even think I have those anymore. An unstable mind perhaps, but a heart? I don't think so. Being in solitude for a very long time really gets to you. Having periods of depression, lost of insanity, reminiscing memories, blaming everything on them then blaming yourself, and just plain maniacal laughing. Ah, those were good times. Right now, I'm way past those embarrassing instances.

I'm blank.

I'm mad.

I'm cold.

I'm merciless.

I'm vengeful.

All because of those wretched creatures. They aren't even worth mentioning. Those worthless beings that trapped me here thinking this could bind me! Disgusting! I'll make them pay! I'LL GET OUT! THEY'LL REGRET EVER DOING THIS TO ME! SCReaMS WiLl Be HeARD! LOTs Of BLOoD WilL Be SPiLLEd! AnD THeRe's nOThINg tHEy CaN dO AbOuT iT!

Ehem. Snapped a little there.

Moving on. There's two ways to get out of here:

1. The bloody seal will weaken after waiting for a couple more hundred years.

2. Someone will overturn the seal and free me intentionally or not.

The former I know can do but I won't and the latter will most probably never happen since no one messes with a shrine temple-how ironic, right? An ayakashi being kept in a holy place. There's like 1 out of a million chances an idiot will disturb a famous shrine much less to disrupt the flow of the seal-

Oh. This is new. Never thought this place would be filled with light. And there's also a slight tremor.

Well, what do we have here?

An idiotic human upsetting the balance. It seems today's my lucky day.


Author-san:

This is my first time writing a story in so please understand.

Can you guess whose POV this is? I'll give you a hint: He's one of the 8 bead holders. Just think of a character who would most likely never become like this unless something (someone wink wink nudge nudge) important is going to be destroyed.

That's all for now. Thank you for taking time to read this :)
