Psyren: Redux
Prologue: Hyperion
October 31, 2009
...Do I...still live...?
Across the land-scape, strewn pieces of my remains were scatter. My remains...Mithra's remains...
To think that I...the incarnation of the "Devourer of Worlds"...Quat Nevas...reduced to such a pathetic state...by worthless HUMANS!
"Melchsee's Door"...devoured most of my body. He knew things that no Human should have known. He knew what I was, and had given that knowledge to my puppet, "Sephiroth". I...was struck down.
NO! I will not...let this be the...end...! The end will come when...I summon Quat Nevas to this pitiful star...AND DEVOUR THEM ALL!
I willed my body to re-assemble. The pieces of me...they twitched, and reverted to the pure form of the "Tears", and slinked towards where my head still was. I had survived the explosion; I had survived Melchsee's Door...I would be triumphant!
I was weakened. I had not enough power to bring Quat Nevas down to Earth...but I would, when I take it from Human after Human. The remaining pieces of my body finally re-combined, and...
Foot-steps...and they were coming towards me.
The Human was a fool; I'd recuperate by devouring that Human's body, and...
"What a sad sight you are...Mithra."
He knew? Impossible! First "Melchsee's Door", and now this new voice! Who could it be?
I looked up towards the voice. I saw a man. I could not see his eyes behind those glasses; glasses that were black and circular like holes. All but his head, neck and face were covered in black clothing. Who was he?
"I see that someone had already taken care of you before I got here. Lucky me; I didn't want to go back empty-handed."
Was this Human...implying that he wanted to take my body for his own gain? He was wrong; I could feel power from him. I knew not what it was yet, but I would soon.
With a screech, I lunged at the man, aiming to go down his throat, and to take over this Human's body. I would be reborn! I...!
A white circle appeared in front of him. My arm vanished from the hands down to the elbow before I pulled it back. I screamed. The burning! This pain was like when "Melchsee's Door"! I looked upon the sphere, and the black stump of my hand, and then back again...
Impossible! It was a "Hyperion"! A "Hyperion" amongst these Humans! Even Quat Nevas...!
"Don't be such a nuisance, Mithra." "Hyperion" told me. "Come quietly."
I was enraged! I was being spoken down to as a lower being! I yelled. "I shall not come! You shall become a part of me!"
As arrogant as it was, "Hyperion" was the perfect replacement host. First, I had to incapacitate him. My mouth opened wide, and I prepared to fire a bolt of pure PSI energy, yet "Hyperion"...was simply compressing the white circle in his hand. Did he not fear me? Did he not...?
