Game of the Shadows by GW Chapter 7 The Prince of Darkness

"Pitiful humans…"

He heard his friends voice alter. It was far from Peitro's voice. He tried to distinguish the voice. So familiar… So devious… So powerful… So inhuman… Then it hit him, it's no other than the spirit they had set free!

When he realized, his friend's form already altered into something vile, no clear shape at all. The dark one stared at him with his eyes so black, dimmer than the night, deeper than the ocean – like a vacuum sipping all his energy… his life.

Gon had never been so bothered in all his life, just now. He wondered what took Leorio too long to take their things. He cant stop himself from worrying. Alas, he succumbed to his urge to follow his friend.

The dark one was having a feast, savoring Leorio's strength to quench his thirst for power when Gon came. He was surprised for he has not yet encountered the mysterious being.

"Gon, run… Save yourself…" he heard Leorio cry faintly, uttering every word with his last few drops of energy.

"Leorio!" Gon uttered, with his voice sinking into a whisper when he saw the sinister being phase near him. Gon receded to the door. "What do you want?" he asked. His body trembled when he saw the mysterious being's eyes.

"I want your body…" the dark one said, displaying a set of pointed teeth, curving his lips to a smile. Then followed it with a sounding laugh, a surge of amusement to the devil side, which echoed in Gon's ears.

"I needed a young, strong body to go on and live." He smirked "Feeding on strength alone cannot suffice my hunger for power and everlasting life."

"Are you Monn – the spirit we disturbed?" Gon asked, avoiding eye contact, for when he look at those black orbs he knew he'll be lost in darkness and will never see the light. He feared that the most.

"Yes I am…" his lips formed a devious smile, "the spirit you freed, the PRINCE OF DARKNESS!" then he guffawed aloud.

"No! you won't have my body!" Gon shouted fearlessly, his eyes burned with anger.

"How dramatic!" then he clapped his hands, mocking the kid, "I'll have your body whether you like it or not!" His expression is always the same; it does not change a bit.

Gon started to dash, hoping he can run from the clasp of that evil creature they had unbound. He reached the edge of the lake panting, thinking of a way to get the upper hand against his malevolent opponent when he saw a tall figure emerging from the lawns at the other side of the lake. He was the one he's been looking for so long… The greatest hunter… His father… Jin Freecs…
