Becoming the new bearer of the snake summoning technique is sealed with ink and blood.

"Stained"

The ink sealed his Fate.

The ink formed from his blood, now as black as ink should be.

With this he signed his name.

The mark burrowed deep into his skin; a proud display of power, and of bonds.

Standing jet and stark against his death pale skin.

Stinging and burning, he tore at the flesh, nails drawing blood; an honour, a cruelty, a punishment for the goal he strove for.

A pain he gladly bore. An ache that would not leave.

A stain as tainted as the man who leered down at him, smiling in the dark, through his student's pain.

A proof of the destiny, a visible mark of his entrapment.

Neither water, nor blood would wash this stain away.

End.
