The earth shatters, melting as flames engulf and consume.

Fangs and claws drip blood, tails lashing, nine in all.

And there's nothing but slitted eyes howling into mine.

Hunger.

Rage.

Pleasure.

Disdain.

I look and see destruction upon my family and village.

The winds whip as my vision narrows.

Time is counted by the falling bodies, the pooling blood.

There is none left.

Tick

They continue to fall.

Tock

They're mine!

Do you understand? Can you understand?

Will you ever understand that your power won't be your own?

My son.

Thank you.

I love you.

And I'm sorry.

"Seal!"
