Candle

This is the one last step before the end.

One final descent.

There is this and then the core

Nexus goes deeper

And deeper still

Almost to the core, yet far away

I'm going under

The reality is warped,

Everything is twisted

Twisted people

Thinking in twisted ways

Descend

Go deeper

Ah…

The sweet suspense to addict like a drug.

Candle

Lethal Lunacy

Don't fall away
And leave me to myself
Don't fall away
And leave love bleeding in my hands
In my hands again
Leave love bleeding in my hands
In my hands
Love lies bleeding

And I wanted
You turned away
You don't remember
But I do
You never even tried

Nexus came upon a great black door. A black gate made of bones. The door handles were black skulls with ruby eyes. Nexus paused. There was a great evil beyond this door. Her green Hunter Eyes caught sight of blood leaking from the door. There was something important beyond these bones, but Link's own mind hand been unconsciously twisting it and making it worse than it was. He couldn't stop it, and it manifested itself in nightmares every evening.

Nexus opened the gate.

Link was thrown back into a wall, blood spurting from his wounds and spraying from his mouth. A man that Nexus didn't recognize shot another bolt of black energy at Link, who slashed at it with his sword. They played tennis with it back and forth until it hit the man. Link shot and arrow of light at him before running up and slashing him with his sword.

This was a dangerous dance.

Link's blood was everywhere, splattered over the walls where he had hit. Nexus watched in horror and mortification as Link made one careless step and the man grabbed him by the throat. Nexus screamed as Link was smashed against the wall again. Blood burst from his wounds and his mouth as he tried to free himself.

Link was released, only to be kicked into the opposite wall. His sword went flying back, far out of his reach. Nexus watched with a solemn face as blood flew and cries of pain rang. A strange smile played her face.

"Link, this is not real." She said softly.

The images before her shattered. A phantom appeared before her, grinning like a fiend. Nexus stood firm.

"Are you the one who has been twisting these images?"

"Yes I am. I am free to roam his mind, unchecked and free. What are you going to do to me? Banish me?"

"I'm going to destroy you."

Nexus held her hands out, Hunter Eyes glowing dangerously. The phantom laughed, rushing towards her to try and infiltrate her mind as well. Nexus spoke in strange words and white lightning shot from her body. The phantom screamed and was reduced to nothingness. Nexus sighed.

"Link, when are you going to stop lying to yourself? I know that the real world is not like our mind twists it to be."

Nexus crossed her arms and watched as everything around her broke and became shards. She had made it to the core, and hell would break loose.
