The man named Umbra watched as yellow flames licked at the small shrine, seemingly fueling and torching everything around him. In his hands pulled against his chest was a older woman of great beauty. This was Shuri Himejima the once lover to the now long deceased Baraqiel a ten winged fallen angel. His wife and daughter where left behind after a fellow ten wing slaughtered him and his legion. The man could not remember anything of his past, only that he can remember being saved by the Himejima woman and her daughter in the middle of a terrible blizzard. She found him legs crossed with a massive blade sheathed in silver that he laid against. Smoke of black like the pit between stars and flames of silvery white enshrouded in shadow burned along the length of the blade like a sudo bonfire.
His blade was now being held in his overly burned right hand his left holding the injured woman against his body
He felt his body begin to change, the scar across the left side of his chest began to burn. He felt his skin become embers for a great raging fire. He felt the whispers of the great beast within the blade and another within his own body.
He gave into those whispers, how could he not. Shuri would die otherwise. He then began the process of shredding his origin and soul for that of the two beasts. Poison flooded his veins toxic to one half of him, but forever tied to the other. Not only were his spiritual and cognitive souls being rent and rewritten, but his physical soul, his body in other words was as well.
Disintegrated and reformed over and over again flames bursting to life around his body, inside his body. The flames were everywhere and they were all. His veins blackened as the poison pumped from a heart that was not his own. His body was still human and could not handle the strain of the constant forced deaths and resurrections. His hair bled to an unnatural ivory and his skin became paler, losing their natural warmth. Still his cold onyx-gray eyes remained. However they began to slit and within that slit crimson burned from a rage and anger unfathomable for the finite. Scales of crimson began to form, starting on his left hand. As they progressed up his arm they began to lose the brilliant crimson. It was being stained into the darkness, turning into a black that only reflected the silver of one of the beasts previous aura's. His soul was torn so badly and replaced so completely, that the remains began to stream off of him in a ghastly after image.
Mist and shadows consumed him. Billowing around him as a torrential tornado of dark.
When the dark bled away a humanoid dragon there. Scales of black like that of obsidian gleamed silver like from the dancing ivory flames that ignited around the body. A long tail curled from out the upper back of the figure. The dragonic face had two large horns spiraling back away from the face and two smaller horns pointed outward like a demons. More cool mist covered the chill moonlit air.
Shuri was no longer at the forefront of the newly formed hybrids mind, Umbra's mental state was shattered completely and only revenge could be dredged up.
Streaming his soul light and foul gray mist that began to darken to black curled around his armor. The beasts within his blade and soul where now one with him and wholeheartedly accepted the man's power for their own reason, plus being partially alive and not sealed after so many millennium was great. After all their legacy and power where now this man, Umbra's to control. it was not the same as having the fear of dying, but it was close enough.
He felt an aria rise to the forefront of his conscious, filled with wailing souls chained to one of the beasts and now to him, their cries only caused him to consider the aria in all of its glory. And seemingly not on his own volition he chanted. And with his voice others rose like the roar of starlight through the abyss.
I WHO HAS ARISEN,
("Your only existence shall be that which I weave for you out of sorrow and woe!")
AM THE PROFANED DRAGON WHO HAS BECOME GOD'S WRATH AND STOLE HIS PRINCIPLE OF DOMINATION
{Wrap thyself in my embrace and succumb to my infinite love. Let your breath drift from you like candle smoke, dreaming deeper and deeper still.}
I SHALL REPRESENT "ETERNITY", FOREVER MOVING FORWARD. AND SEVER THE DARKENED CLOUDS OF HEAVEN, TO BURN REALITY ASUNDER.
(There's truth in the edge of Light, and beneath that truth a deeper truth, hidden from all but a few. That truth is this: monsters need not fear the night. Do not hunt the monster. Become the monster.)
I SHALL BECOME THE BLACK DRAGON OF THE BLINDING NIGHT
{"The daylight, the starlight; all hope is merely waiting for their dark shroud to return this cosmic play to its primordial black."}
AND I SHALL BATHE THE WORLD IN OUR SORROWFUL BLINDING DARK PURGATORY!
{("LET THEM FEEL EVERY LASH, EVERY CURSE, EVERY TOUCH OF MALICE THAT THEY FIRST DEALT TO US!")}
[Coronation of a God-King]
The armor twisted and turned becoming more life like and larger. Shadows streamed off of the armor as if steam or mist, completely covering the figure of the already large humanoid dragon. Wing spines ruptured up from the armors back, but unlike the armor it was that of flesh. Six massive spines suddenly fluttered open to reveal massive wings that towered behind the figure. The shadows and mist grew with incredible intensity. More wings fluttered out with shadowy black feathers with a gradient that slowly grayed at the ends.
A red haze overtook Umbra's vision as he saw the cadre that 'killed' Akeno and nearly killed Shuri leave through a portal with fallen and devils alike. Hatred dredged up with the searing burn of the poison that pumped through his veins. A silent call resounded like a gust of wind within his mind scape strengthening the poison's burn and his physical strength to a point that was beyond 'breaking'. The massive beast shrouded in flames and mist leapt through the air towards both the remaining Himejima clan and crowding devils and fallen. Then the anger and red haze completely took over.
{["They are of rage, brutal without mercy. You must be worse. Rip and tear, until it is done."]}
