Dedication: I don't know...it could be my worry over the Graduation Tests I have coming up in three weeks and the fear of forgetting everything I know.
AN:/: I can only dream...
Iced wind drove like hammered nails as the world watched it's once savior rampage. The greatest of all fell upon the city, wails shattered the bones of the damned souls who stood too close. Those who once worshiped the being as a god beyond them all were the first to fall beneath his feet. His eyes no longer held the kindness and wisdom they once did. The earthen orbs re-colored themselves bloody as the demon took full control. He no longer existed the way he once did. Instincts drove his every motion. Sadly those instincts screamed as he did for the blood of the innocents that called the newest Hell realm "home."
And so carmine filled the streets as the black of his aura filled the skies.
Flashes of orange were the only hints as to where the king would appear. Few made to fight, even fewer saw the beast ended their lives. The remaining captains, Those who knew of this demon-king's strength, mourned the loss of their strongest comrade. But they knew there could be not another option...
The weak began to pool their powers even as the roar of the beast caused the weakest to break. Seconds slowed and the world muted all just before the bullet pierced the animal between the eyes. The injuries would heal, his memories would remain lost...He fell from the sky, creating a vast crater where the city had been moments before he had lost everything from betrayal. Whoever triggered his breakdown surely died in the first seconds, but the survivors couldn't chance it. The fury of the Destroyer couldn't be unleashed. Ever again.
Perhaps it would be for the best. No one remembered the creature's name anyways, only that he'd once been the one to save them all.
