my name is... disputed it has been lost whith time. i barely remember what i am called now... however even i know i am not normal i am diferent from everyone else even in my own family. wait i had better start from the begining... it all started when i was a young boy barely able to have complete thought. plese note i have changed most of the names so no one will take notice of the part they played in making me a monster and causing the death of a whole race.
if you talk to anyone they will say that it is imposible for this to have happend others will ignore the question. but they know that the reason they cower away from the darkness is because it is true it is burnt into the minds of mankind from the first time they see their mothers face. they like their light but it kills me every time i see the sun rise above this urban hole that i live in i remember the time when you could walk for days and not see even a spark when there was just darkness. it all started on the day i was supposed to become the master of all life. not even my oldest brother zacheriah could stop me. but i ruined it i had to create my monsters i had to create HER. i see the truth in my dreams. i see what i have become.
katlin
what happed. all that i remember is being chained to a wheel and being tourtured till i bled and bled. then he killed me feeding off my pain leaving me behind to become what i used to be . dead . alone . sad.
i hated him for what he did and that hate grew and grew till that was all that was left. i was nomore. i have nothing to lose not even my soul. i am i cant blame him i started it. i told them. he told me what they would do. but i still told them.WHY DID HE KILL ME.
chapter 1 the beggining
michel
today i will gain the power to control every aspect of every life. but first i must finish the summons. i cant go another day with out freeing myself from another one of these spirits. If I dont do the summons then ill likely explode. then again i have more fo a chance of geting my head choped off so i guess im pretty safe.
katlin
all i see is darkness but i smell something new an undeserving soul perhaps. i have been wating for him to relese me for some time now. destroying the others.
michel
i am michel of the town NEW ORDER. i have 3 brothers and one sister. our mom died shortly after my sister was born. my sister was always ... different. she liked everything about me but dipised my older brothers. that was probably what i liked most about her.
my oldest brother zacheriah is the complete opposite of me and hates me because dad always liked me better. zacheriah unlike me only has power over things dad made he cant even pile dung right. a year after zacheriah was born gabril was born. gabril is weak he always has been. but his sword fighting is perfect. gabril does everything that zacheriah tells him to do. after gabril mom and dad were busy keeping zach and gabril out of trouble.
a couple of years after that raphile was born. raphile was a natural born wizard always casting spells. but of course he helped zach but he never truely liked zach. then i was born. a jewel among gold and thats why they fought me.
i had more power than all of them combined. 3 years later evie was born almost a week later mom died. evie was like me powerful but uncontrolable. That is why every time they try killing me they don't even think that i might have made a deal with our younger sister.
the deal was mutual survival she save me i save her but i am much more...
feral.
evie
ok i know gods dont share blood but how come all the hot guys are related to ME. not to mention the hottest of them all is about to have pick from any one who exists and he is my older brother i mean come on why is dad so twisted to where the only people who are worthy of me is family well it isnt all bad i guess seeing as how we all shower in the same room, but still wont i get looked down on because i love my brother more than i could love any other. of course i could just bewitch them all into loving me but then they wouldn t be them would they. dad had better known what he set us up for.
Zach
IDIOTS. they are all idiots they cant even plan a assassination right how am I supposed to become god if my followers cant even help eliminate one starved forgemaster at this rate I'll have better luck giving horses wings and hoping they can fly. How hard can it be to kill a starved forgemaster? I swear my brothers are imbiciles.
gabril
dad zach can be an idiot . he doesn't under stand that there is NO way to destroy a enchanted defence sword they dont have hearts or heads it is impossible to kill one. but he is right we cant let michel take the power he will kill us all with it.
raphile
i am getting sick of zach he may be right that michel doesn't deserve the power but neither does he. no one can control it. which is why i will seal it away forever...
michel
as i sit in my room preparing to do a summons i feel a faint cold chill in the air not a scary chill but one of calm of anticapation and as i do the summons i hear a voice wisper in my ear faintly but still there it said that change is coming. yeah im going to rule. i mutter the last line of the incantation and i start to feel dizzy, weary, as if i was about to faint...
3 days later
i wake up sweating like my brothers after a argument and as i remember what happend before i fainted my only thought was that i HAD to find my creation before my brothers did. i as i look around i realize that evie is here with me.
before i could say anything she said do you know you talk in your sleep?
what?
i know what you've been doing you said it all.
are you going to tell on me?
not so long as you let me be around you whenever i want
ok (its not as if she wasn't gonna do that anyways)
did you see my creation
it is in the closet
i tried to get up but i quickly found out that i was tied up.
why am i tied up
every time i tried to move you you would thrash about so that i couldnt lift you
she ran over and sat on my legs the bones there weakend from the summons, grew tense as my muscles started burning i screamed out in pain, but i couldnt scream. one of my sisters new tricks no doubt. i laid my head forward all of a sudden she starts rubbing her hands up and down my chest then i see a young girl about 16 years old beautiful blue hair long elegant tail wearing evies old clothes dash out of the closet and jump on my chest i instantly feel that same chill i felt during the summons by the time she landed on my chest i reilized that this is the creature i created. first words i heard out of her mouth was that i was asleep for 3 days and she was bored with out my company. i asked her what did you do and she said that she played with evie which made me think what could they play... (i hoped she didnt kill my pygmys again) i dissmised the thought as quickly as it appeared in my head.
katlin
im free at last i am free of that dark abyss but something feels deferent now a dont feel like i am me. i dont want to kill anymore. i just want to be near him. evie is nice too but she dosnt have the same aura as michel does he is like dark stones* you just cant give them up. i dont know what i can do to ensure they dont kill me. evie tried teaching me to sword fight but im not too good at it. i cant cast spells cant even light a candle.
the dead
and there it started. the start of a liar and the birth of a cataclist that will tear the world apart. the unholy aliance which will hurt so many. and the death of a race.
chapter 2 the problem
michel
they postponed the ritual till i felt better so now i have some time to figure out what i want to do to hide katlin. i cant kill her it just wouldnt be right. cant lock her up too little. cant hide her at home someone will notice. cant take her with me too obvious. i could always have evie watch her. but i dont want to get into debt with evie too dangerous. besides i think i like this girl she is small, cute, and very energetic.
katlin
i feel ... light as if nothing can ever go wrong. could this be joy ? who cares i think i am going to stick with michel he's handsome, tall, and makes me feel... alive? yeah that seems to fit just right. i think i dont want to leave him. in fact i dont think i could live without him.
michel
strange the way she looks at me almost like she dosn't ever want to leave my side. as is she would kill just to stay right here. i guess i like that seeing as how i want to keep her here too. the first mind as strong as mine was made by mine. not only that but she's perfect how she walks how she talks if i didn't make her (and if it wasn't for her hair and tail) i couldn't tell if she was different from any one of us. she is perfect but not completely. her life is still tied to mine to make her her own person would be to say that i dont ever want to see her again. and i want to see her every day every second that i am away from her makes me want her more and more. and when i am with her i want to get closer. i want to lay next to her in the night and i want to hold her hand during the day. i don't want to let her go.
katlin
i love him. and ive been trying to drop hints about that since he woke up.i tug at his blankets wile he lays on them one time i "tripped" on a sandal and landed on his lap. i do any thing i can to get as close to him as possible. some times while he is asleep i lay on the floor next to his blankets*.
sometimes i wish i was those blankets getting to be so close to him. i would eleminate everyone just to stay as close to him as i am right now. but i can't if some one finds me they will kill the both of us. i have to keep hidden at least until the ritual. and then he is all mine.
i pray no one trys to stop me.
michel
as i wake during the night i become faintly aware of someone sleeping on the floor next to my blankets. i look over at katlins blankets and i notice that they are bare thinking that the person next to me is asleep i quickly wrap my arms around them squeezing them so they cant move. then i heard a soft voice say "its me its me" so i quickly turn them to face me. i quickly notice katlins thin body being sqeezed by my death grip so i pull her close and hold her close to me as i asked her why she is laying on the floor. she quickly leans in and says "i dont like being so far from you". as i lift her up to lay her on the blanket next to me i said "why dont you like being away from me" unconsiously thinking that if she knows then mayby she could explain why i feel the same way. and she surprized me she jumped on my lap and kissed me the meaty taste of her lips against mine i loved the taste when she pulled back the only thing i could say was why does your lips taste like meat. in that instant i felt like a complete idiot. just to make up for saying that i lean in and start kissing her. ok maby not just that. but still that was the best moment in my eternal life*.
katlin
as i pull back for a second time we hear footsteps at the door and i panic as i tell him im going to hide till they leave. he says ok almost like he is a zombie. 3 seconds later i hear zach yelling at michel saying he knows what michel did the night before the ritual and why he wont leave the house. he says he knows about the summons and about the "monster" however there were a few words a couldnt understand like lycanthropy and demonization. next thing i know i hear a sceam as two solders trying to hold down a thin young man walk in the room. zach says they found him trying to run from a group of angry parents whoms daugnters he had "visited". all michel would say was to let incubus (the young man?) go. however all zach would say was how he had caught him and how all the little creature would say was "the maker said i was free". after about 4 hours of arguing zach finnaly agreed that the maker incubus was talking about did not have to be zach said he was going to throw the weasel in hell*. as the door shut and all went quiet i heared sobs so i snuck out of the closet to better see what was going on and i saw michel laying on the floor crying when i asked him who incubus was all he could say was brother. ive never seen him before. yet he looks so familar...
michel
i am mad zach found incubus when i was still young i accidintaly made him and when dad saw him he told me to tell him to run dad didnt care if i made somthing or not so long as no one but him finds out. so of corse i was mad when i found out he was caught. he almost got me killed. oh well ive been trying to think of a reson get get him here to ask him to hide her till the ritual.
the dead
now you see why they will shatter they wouldnt have been able to keep going anyway they would have killed themselves but insted they chose to fight till they just fade and become little more than banished memories.
chapter 3 big bro's house
michel
ok well i have dragged incubus back out of hell... again * anyway i explaned the situation to incubus and he understands that it will just be for a little while and that if he gets in any trouble to meet me back at our old hideout down in grampa's crater*.
Incubus
I will get Evie. I have a foolproof plan this time I have given Katlin a map to my hideout in the crater and told her to go. I heard that Evie should be alone in her rooms tonight with only two guards at the door. This should be fun...
evie
ohh i lessened the guards for tonight i sure hope he realises this and comes here tonight he is one of the only person who isnt family who i would let touch me...
michel [2013]
i smell somthing strange... something unusual... as i look around i remember the past ... but i also see the future... possible future... and forced future... this world is not right it is dying... my spirit is too strong for the abyss ... she cant wipe my memories... not now or ever... i wont forget my lies... and i wont forget the truth... the abyss lies.
the dead
even as i type this i forget what happend. but it might be for the best. please forgive me...
