Done with love

Chapter #1
A Brother's Love…
"Big brother, what…what are you doing! ! I… I don't want to di…die." Rane cried out helpfully.
"With grief in my conscious, I need someone to end my life. Become strong, stronger than I am. Find me then & kill me. With hatred huddled in your heart power shall immerge."
"Wha…what…" Rane got to his feet. His brother continued, "Love me & you will die. Hate me & I will die."
"Ki…kill y…kill you!" Rane questioned. His brother sliced out a silver bladed sword. "What's that for…"
"It's for practice, when you get a real sword you should be strong." He proclaimed. "Here's something else."
Rou (Rane's Brother) pulled a shinning, orphan blue crystal from his nap sack. A dark tunnel opened behind Rou. Chains shot from it & gripped Rou's arm.
The crystal shot from Rou's hand & landed in Rane's over-stretched hand. Rane was struggling; he was trying to get away. The orphan blue crystal turned red. The crystal showed its pointed side to his palm. It slowly squelched into his hand.
His hand reared forward growing massive. His fingernails turned red and became at least a foot long. The fingernails did not even compare to the new 4 foot long arm.
"POWER, POWER,
POWER!" A voice screened in his head.
His mind
Began
To go
Crazy
With
Thoughts of
DEATH!!!
The color and mass of the arm faded. Something grew on his hand, a mouth. The tongue was reaching for the orphan blue stone that had distended from his arm. His vision grew dark, and began to fuzz. A shock of pain shot up his spine as he fell to the tile floor. He tasted iron and something began to flow out of his m o u t h…he fainted.
The same pain shot up his spine again. The pain arose so quickly that it woke him up immediately. He roared, "Where the hell am I!!!" He shifted up to see the room he was in. He stepped onto the wooden floor and began to walk out of the room. Outside the room the hall seemed to go on forever. He started down the right hallway. A nurse walked up behind him, "Sir, Sir your in no condition to go anywhere." He stopped and glared at her. The glare nearly sent the nurse into shock. "Where are my CLOTHES!!" he screamed, allowing the whole world to hear his voice. She handed him a pair of cream colored shorts, and an entirely black T-shirt. He locked himself inside the nearest bathroom to change. He came out and began to head for the door. Once he was outside he started running toward home. He crashed through his home door and into the room where his brother had betrayed him. His blood still stained the floor. The Sounis clan's crest was a silver oval surrounded by a red triangle, with an odd shaped diamond in the center. That crest was on the far wall above a brown stone chair. The sealing had been lifted a year ago to fit the growing family. One single lantern hung from a socket on the sealing. (As you could tell, the room was not very light) He strolled over to the stone chair and landed the seat.
He stared into an abyss, seeing the scene that had accrued, he assumed, a couple days or hours ago. His whole face turned red and his eyes filled with tears. Why… Why would he do this…? He thought.
