MEANWHILE IN ANOTHER PLACE IN THE FOREST...

There was Ku, sitting on a log she was very sad and even crying a little for what happened with Ori, why did he yell at me like that? maybe I pissed him off, but still he would never yell like that, there's something wrong with him, she thought, then she realized it was getting quite late, wow, it's already getting dark, me and Ori spent the whole day building skeletons of houses, well... I better go home before Mom arrives and I also urgently need to talk to Ori.

RETURNING TO ORI...

Ori was slowly regaining consciousness, when his head finally woke up, he felt strange as if he didn't recognize but his own body.

Damn, my head hurts a lot and how tired is this I feel? it seems i haven't slept in days, what happened to me? i feel very strange

then he gets up, and feels a strong muscle pain, he moans in pain but he's still standing, his eyesight was tired he didn't notice the change in his body, it was at night noticing this Ori knew she wouldn't be able to walk home, but luckily not far from there had a newly built spiritual well, then he started to walk to the place his legs hurt but he continued, after a while walking he noticed that even in the dark he could see normally, as if it wasn't even dark but his head was still a little confused with the situation and he didn't even care about it, after a long walk he finds the well:

"finally now and i'm just recovering a little bit come home and get a long night's sleep"

so Ori went to the well and when he was about to go in, he felt something strange as if the well had repelled him, but he just ignored it is when he stepped on it he felt his foot burn strongly, the fa

Ori (POV):

ARGH!!! WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT? BECAUSE THE WELL BURNED ME INSTEAD OF HEALING ME

Ori notices his black fur and his fingers with what looked like claws but purple

Which is? why am I black? is it because it looks like i have claws? maybe that goo did something to me, i think i can heal, the burn must just be a mess, I think because I'm covered in this black stuff, it's the spiritual energy from the well that's burning it naturally, and that must be it.

Ori goes to the well again, that's when he puts his hand on the edge to support himself because he was weak he felt his hand burn it's a smoke coming out of his hand it's where he put his hand so he took it

"it's not a mistake, spiritual light hurts dark or evil things but it can't be, I'm spirit, I'm made of light it's spiritual energy, it can't be"

he goes again to the well, and again tries to touch it, this time burning his hand even harder

"it's not possible... this can't be happening, it's just a bad dream right? it's just a dream, there's no way I can be someone bad"

???: are you sure about that?

Ori is startled and quickly looks around looking for the source of the voice

Ori: WHO'S THERE?

???:

"Who's there?" What a stupid question, I think you recognize your own reflection, right? So turn around and find out

Ori looks back and sees a smoky black figure just like the one in her nightmares, but the black figure was identical in shape to Ori, her eyes were purple and glowing and they were the only thing visible to

Ori: W-who are you?

???: Are you stupid or something? Can't you see that I'm clearly you?

Ori:

This is impossible, there's no way you can be me, you're just another illusion

???: maybe I am, who knows, but changing the subject I think it's better if you get real

Ori: get real?

???: you have to accept, now you are a creature of darkness

Ori: NO, it's a lie, this is just an illusion it's not real, m-maybe SEIN! he can help me!!!

???: Do you think that idiot can help? so go ahead, I won't get in the way

Ori I think the shadow's attitude suspicious, but he was already desperate yet he didn't care, Ori quickly tried to go as fast as possible towards the spiritual tree, even though he was not healed by the well he was already a little more recovered so he goes towards the spiritual tree, even with a little limp he kept following, until he got close enough that he started feeling the energy of Sein energy burning his skin, he screamed in pain and hid behind a rock to avoid direct contact with the light, even though he felt Sein's energy burning, it wasn't the same thing as direct contact with her, as he whimpered in pain a shadow appeared on his side.

???: Finally got it? Now you belong in the dark is never again going to be able to have Sein's light with you, now if you really understand I think you better protect yourself in that cave over there, it looks small but it should fit.

But Ori didn't move, didn't say anything or even make a noise, it looked like he was dead, the shadow came closer and saw Ori's face... he had a totally horrified expression staring at nothing, his expression was blank it's very cold, his eyes were wide open, his mouth half open and he seemed to shake a little bit.

???: hmmm, so you're in shock right? I should have foreseen this... look to be honest I don't give a damn about this sentimental thing, but if you don't really leave that damn tree we'll kind of turn to dust

after this sentence Ori got up and started walking slowly around the small cave, still in shock with the situation, when he entered the cave he sat in the dark and stood still, then the shadow appeared on his side and the two stayed there for a while until Ori finally said something

Ori: how did this happen? it is not possible for a spirit to be corrupted

???: look... possible it is, it's just a little unlikely, it's to clear up your doubts about how you turned out so I'll simplify, when you went to Niwen you lost your connection to Sein's light that's left you vulnerable to degradation, like those corrupted rocks that pierced you, it's like you didn't have the pure light of Sein to rid you of degradation, you got infected

Ori: so this happened because i was too kind?

???: got it right

Ori's ears dropped, his eyes were sad and tired, he just stood there staring at the cave ceiling thinking about his mother his sister his friends, all those who loved him would never see him the same way again

Ori: but if I'm corrupted, why do I still feel the same before?, the only difference is that I don't feel... fear

???: this is happening because you have an incredibly strong mind, you are resisting my darkness much better than i thought, which is surprising for someone who has suffered so much with you

Ori looked at him a little confused

Ori: what do you mean, "suffered so much"?

???: have you never noticed the misfortunes that surround your life? let's remember some, Your mother died in front of you as a child, had to face dangerous creatures when you were little, found the corpses of gummo's, witnessed Kuro's death, saw Ku being shot down by Sherik, and also witnessed Kwolok's death, do you want me to continue?

Ori: NO, please stop: Ori says shedding some tears: what were you supposed to be? you are just like me but very strange is different

???: that way you sadden me:he says mockingly: For now you can call me Dark, it's basically I'm the darkness that you're repressed, it's me, I'll be gone when you stop repressing me, so get used to me

Ori: is what I do now? I have nowhere to go and I don't even have anyone to help

Dark: because you don't get some rest, after all your body is weak from the transformation it's because you haven't slept yet, so... sweet dreams

He puts his finger on Ori's forehead and makes him sleep on time

Dark(POV):

Okay... this was easier than I thought, now I can act, I have so many ideas on how to psychologically torture him, well then let the fun begin.
