Ori woke up startled as if he had just woken up from a nightmare, then he looks around and realizes that he is in a completely dark place, and also he seemed to be immersed in some kind of black water, but the strangest thing was that the place was highlighted by white lines, the small waves of the water were only visible as they were highlighted in white like a pen outline.
Ori then got up and looked around without much surprise as he was used to it, he also notices that his fur is still black and he still has claws"Here we go again with this shit"he thought, when he heard a whisper behind from him
???: hello little one
Ori was very angry at these shadows, so without even looking he pulled out his now purple spirit cut and attacked whatever was behind him, when he turned around to see what he cut he was horrified by what he saw
Tokk: W-why-y... S-spirit..?
they were an identical version of Tokk only made of shadows and with a blade stuck in the chest, the copy was so identical that Ori even ignored the fact that she was a shadow
Ori: ...t-tokk... SORRY I DIDN'T WANT-
before finishing the sentence, he takes out the blade what makes Tokk fall into the water is sinking and also leaves a stain of blood in the water, Ori looks at his blade and sees it smeared with blood what scared him is makes her disappear, so he listens Dark's voice say in a sadistic tone behind him as he felt a hand on his shoulder:
Dark: My god Ori, what a terrible thing he didn't do anything and anyway you killed him, you really are a monster, now who's going to be next? Opher, Mokki or...
Ori felt Dark's face in his ear saying:
Dark: That little family of yours...
Ori's blood boils and fury dominates his mind he grits his teeth and growls in fury which makes him attack with his claws Dark who was behind him so he attacks growling is saying:
Ori: DAMN IT, THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT
But when Ori realizes he doesn't cut Dark, he actually cut Opher's neck.
Opher: Why little one? how can you do this to me? we weren't friends
Copy says while holding the bleeding neck
Ori: W-what... NO! I DIDN'T WANT TO DO THAT, IT WAS AN ACCIDENT I WAS JUST ANGRY, I THOUGHT YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON it's
the copy disappear again
Ori(POV)
But what the hell, why? Why, WHY???... Why do I always have to suffer?
Ori had her hands on her head while crying, when Dark appeared in front of her and held her chin.
Dark: So this is how you release your hate? killing your friends?
Ori: IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!
Dark: What am I to blame? I wasn't the one who stuck a sword in Tokk, I wasn't the one who cut Opher's throat, the only thing I did was give you the weapons and you decided to use them this way, so tell me who's to blame here?
Ori got a shocked expression at what Dark said, was he really the monster of everything?, then he started crying again, so dark stops holding Ori's chin and uses both hands to hold his head
Dark: listen here, all this can end soon, just let me do my job and it all ends, you stop suffering and I finish my goal, see? everyone wins
he says with a friendly smile it's comforting
Ori: yeah-h What would happen if I left?
Dark: simple, you wouldn't feel empathy no serious more kind, basically you would embrace your dark side
Ori: would I kill someone?
Dark: Depends... Do you want to kill someone?
he ends with a psychotic smile, Ori thinks for a while and then he grabs the hands of Dark who was holding him
Ori: No, I won't fall for your little psychotic game
Dark: hmmm... So may Madness be your reality
after that sentence Ori was pulled down by something invisible, he was submerged in the darkness struggling, until finally I managed to emerge, as soon as he came back to the surface he saw that he was in a very familiar river, he swims to the bank and walks in in the middle of the dark forest, everything was very familiar, when walking a little more he realizes that that path led right to his house, so he runs towards the Swallows' Nest, arriving there he goes towards his house that's how he approaches he notices something strange, there was a red liquid at the entrance of the cave, as everything was black that was very evident, Ori knew what it was and he approached his house even more with great fear, when entering his house he realizes that there was a lot of blood spread on the ground that formed a trail, it is at the end of the trail there was something that made Ori collapse on the ground in tears, it was Naru's body with a huge cut on his chest it is with a huge pool of blood around it is on the side of the corpse of and Naru, also had Gummo's body that had his arms ripped off and also had a cut on his chest
Ori(POV)
It's not real, it's not real, it's not real, it's not real, it's just a dream, it's just a dream, it's not real, it's not real!!!!!! It's not real, it's not real, it's not real, it's not real, it's just a dream, it's just a dream, it's not real, it's not real!!!!!! It's not real, it's not real, it's not real, it's not real, it's just a dream, it's just a dream, it's not real, it's not real!!!!!!
Ori was in a state of panic and shock, he was panting and shaking, but then he noticed something, he was all covered in blood, from his chest to his feet and he also had his blade in his hands all soaked with blood, it took a few seconds for he understand what was happening but when he did, his mind broke, his psychological was all broken, he was trembling and with an expression of pure terror on his face, then dark appears behind him:
Dark: is it then? do you accept my deal?
Ori just said a word
Ori: do
Dark: ok then
Dark then approaches Ori and when he gets close to Ori, he sinks his claws into his shoulder that at that point this pain was nothing to him, so dark started to inject himself loudly in Ori, that's when he finished Ori passed out.
Ori wakes up in the cave he used to hide in now his eyes were dark blue with gray pupils, and then he gets up and goes to the cave entrance and gives a huge Psychotic smile to the spiritual tree:
Ori: Let's finish what Kuro couldn't
