Aftermath
Prolouge
He watched them, waiting patiently. This was absolutely perfect. Everything was going just as he planned. He stopped himself from chuckling, the others being not to far away. His eyes started to turn dark and narrowed in slight annoyance.
'Stop talking, just do it already!' Stifling a frustrated sigh, he let his thoughts drift as the female started shout.
He didn't need to make his scheme so complicated.
He didn't need to make so many surprise twists and turns.
He could have just conviced some idiot to do the deed and get it all over with.
But where's the fun in that?
Oh, yes. After being sealed for a couple thousand years, banished from the world, he needed that long awaited play date.
Triangular ears flicked and his gaze lifted to the scene before him. So close, so damn close. The female human closed her eyes and blew out the flame. Darkness descended and the mobian hedgehog and human girl disappeared back to the beginning of the story, leaving him alone.
Alone in the darkness.
The darkness.
He couldn't believe it. Well, actually, he could. The plan was flawless, of course, having two thousand years to plan and then another ten to scope and set up what he desired. Slowly, a chuckled bubbled from his lips, his mouth stretching unnaturally across his pale muzzle. Sharp, jagged teeth glistened with black, sticky liquid that dripped down the side of his jaw and leaked over his neck in thick streams. He threw his head back, flexing his jaw as he laughed, echoing off unseen walls. He could feel it already, the pools of dark matter pouring into his body. He obsorbed the power greedily. He hesitantly reached his hand up to trace his mouth, as a long, black, forked tongue snaking around gloved fingers. Oh, how much he missed this! Green slitted eyes narrowed as they zeroed in on the gloves he was wearing. He hummed thoughtfully, his grin disappearing as he examine his hand.
'That's right...' thought the demon, dropping his hand to his side. 'It's not over yet.'
While his body had already faded away, his smile still hung in the darkness.
'This will be fun.'
