Lincoln followed mavis down the chilling hall being lite by the clean moonlight, the bloodlust that infused the moon and unleashed such great destruction and chaos finally faded into oblivion with a hint of it's return.
Their footsteps were the only thing that could be heard with the sound flesh directly making contact with the polished floors due to mavis walking barefoot.
As they continued on however the sound of a heartbeat could be heard ever so softly and was growing with every passing second. The hall they were traveling down had a victorian gothic style, there were pictures that appeared to be hundreds of year old with one picture appearing new compared to the rest but had claw marks over it destroying some of the frame as well.
The picture was one of a family based off what was left of the hopefully happy moment, the parents face were torn off however the child's face still remained. The child caught Lincoln off guard however due to the baby wearing boys clothes and having white hair, Lincoln couldn't think on the matter and had to leave.
He marched along side the young woman catching some confidence and saw another picture with two wolf, one with red fur and one with black fur guarding a family of three as the had fun in the crimson moon light with a man on the side watching from afar.
"We are here" she said catching his attention, she stood in front of a large door with a carving of snakes coiling around the moon and the sun. "The master is waiting for you inside, I will wait her until I am called upon for assistance" she bowed towards Lincoln and opened the door.
Lincoln looked at the young woman who bowed her head at him again and motioned her arm for him to proceed through the door, "what..." he paused realizing the pace of the information his mind was taking in was far to much for him and yet he remained calm with only one question on his mind. "What is your name" he asked getting a jerked reaction from her, she rose her head to him oh so slowly showing her red satisfied eyes and creeping blood hungry smile.
She didn't speak a word as the red mist crept from the room, Lincoln knew she wasn't going to answer him until he went inside the room. He walked through the door unknown to him the mist followed behind his steps, he looked around the room and saw a figure sitting on a throne covered in darkness and the maddening silence. The only form of sound that could be heard was the beating of a heart coming from the person on the throne, the beating filled the room from every corner and Lincoln took a breath to begin speaking.
"Hello" his voice echoed through the large room, it was lite by the moonshine with the red mist dancing low on floor. He walked forward feeling a chill as the room grew cold, the shadows shifted as the darkness formed a vortex swallowing more of the darkness before disappearing into the wind. Within the darkness left behind by the vortex were a pair of blood red eyes and a smile of pure joy, a man walked towards Lincoln and his smile grew wider when he looked him over.
"Welcome to your new home" he stood over Lincoln and began to sit as the darkness formed into a throne, he sat and leaned his head against his hand looking Lincoln over and stopped and stared at his hair. The was a moment of happiness in his eyes and smirked, "you have her hair" he spoke gaining a confused look from Lincoln. "I understand you have questions and you may ask me."
"Who are you... why am I here and who was that girl who brought me here" he had so many questions and this man claimed he could answer them all, so much had happened to him and it wasn't even an entire full day.
"I knew you wouldn't remember me, you were only a baby after all" he sighed closing his eyes breathing deeply before opening them again. "The girl who brought you here is named Mavis and she did so with my order and you were brought here because you have reached an age in your life, were you can no longer hide in their world and must return to your home... your true home."
"What?" He said surprised looking at the man. "Who... who are you."
"I am Damien ShatteredVenom and I am your father"
