"Blah" talking //blah// thinking

It seemed like time had stopped.

He had been sinking, fast into nothing. An endless expanse of black nothing.

Until it stopped, he stopped falling, and froze floating in the abyss.

He tried to move, but something was holding him down, like a fly on flypaper. He could no longer tell which way was up. Everything was the same. Black. Nothing.

Suddenly he felt like he was drowning. Drowning in the emptiness of it all. He couldn't cry out, there was no one to listen, all he could do was lay there and drown.

Cloud gasped for air and his eyes flew open. //Where.what? What happened?// His eyes focused in and he found himself staring at the ground. He had been hunched over on all fours. One arm was weakly supporting his weight, the other was flopped uselessly to the side. //My arm.I can't feel my arm.//

A sarcastic voice snapped him out of his confused thoughts. "Wow kid, you handled that pretty well. I knew you were a tough one, that's why I picked you. Well, get up, you can't be much use sitting there on the ground."

//I know that voice.// The answers to all his questions flooded into his mind. Hades. Hades had promised him power. Power to find his light. That's what the blackness was.Hades said it was part of the 'process'. //my light.//

His arm. He still couldn't feel it. //It must be asleep.//

Cloud pulled himself upward to a standing position. Only to fall right back down.

"Arrrahhhh!" He screamed. His back. Something was wrong with it. Searing white pain blinded him for several minutes.

Hades made a 'tsk' sound. "Oh yeah, you'll really have to adapt to that, the pain will ease up a little in about half an hour."

Something was wrong here, very wrong. What happened to his back.he was never injured there.At least, not that he could remember.

The blindfold of pain eased a little, enough that he could concentrate on talking rather that screaming. "What." He winced, "Happened.?"

The God of the Underworld chuckled "Stand up and see for yourself kid. It's really quite flattering if I do say so myself."

Cloud gritted his teeth and tried once again to pull himself upwards. He let out a suppressed whimper as he accomplished his mission and was assaulted by the wave of pain a second time. But he wasn't going to fall again. He was stronger that that. Pain was obsolete, he needed to ignore it, he needed to start searching again. Hades had given him the power to find it. His Light.

"Well what do you think kid?" Hades stepped into his line of vision and waved his hand. A fancy mirror framed in gold appeared in front of him.

Cloud screamed, this time not in pain, but in fear. What the hell had happened to him?! A leathery black demons wing jutted out from his shoulder blade. It was dripping small droplets of blood from it's tip, and he could feel small tear drops of blood roll down his black from where the intruder had ripped out. And his arm most defiantly was not asleep. He could see now that from his elbow down, what once was fair pale skin now was black and foreign looking. The tips of his fingers were adorned with vicious looking gold claws.

His first thought in his new awareness was ultimately his last one as the shock as and pain reached his head and caused him to collapse unconscious. //What have I become.?//
