Chapter 9: A look in the Darkness
"Uhh... Wha? Where am I?" asked Clay. He was standing alone, in a dark room. There was no high and low. No near and far. It was just darkness, empty darkness. "What is this place?" asked Clay. He chanted a light spell to help him but the darkness swallowed it. "What the?". Then suddenly the room began to change. Colors began to swirl aroung the room. After a while, the colors stopped swirling. Clay found himself standing on a battlefield. Bodies laid scattered on the ground. Flames burned ferociously from the houses. Women and children ran for their lives as armed men chased them. Clay couldn't take it anymore. He blasted the man chasing the poor woman with a thunder spell. He then approached the woman.
"No! Stay back! Get away demon!" yelled the woman.
"No please, it's okay..." said Clay. The woman panicked and ran away from Clay. He couldn't blame the woman. After all, she had been through. The woman was screaming something. "Run away! He's coming! Vlad the Impaler!"
Then suddenly the woman was shot by an arrow right in the forehead. Clay's eyes were as wide as saucers. An armored man then approached the woman and began stabbing her.
"Stop it!" yelled Clay but the man didn't even look at him. The man decapitated the woman which caused Clay to snap. He molded a ball of energy in his hand and fired it at the man. It only served to remove the man's helmet. The man slowly turned his head to look at Clay. Clay almost screamed when he saw the man's face.
"I-It's you! Dark Lord!" said Clay. Indeed it was the man Clay saw in Slade's prison. From the hair, right down to the chin. The colors from the scene began to fade. Clay was once again back to the empty darkness. After a while, a new scene was formed. He was standing in front of a church. He entered the church and there he looked at a praying man in a pew. He approached the man and he suddenly realized who it was.
"It's Adolf... Adolf Hitler. But why is he like this? He's supposed to hate Christianity but why is he praying here?" asked Clay to himself. Suddenly a robed man approached Adolf Hitler. The said man removed his hood to reveal Dark Lord. "No! Get away form him!" yelled Clay but his hand went through Adolf Hitler's body. Dark Lord then transformed into a puff of black smoke and entered Adolf Hitler's body. Adolf'f eyes flashed with an evil red flash. Adolf then turned around and saw a Christian patron kneeling down to pray. He attacked the man by smashing his skull in one of the pews. Again the colors faded and Clay was back to the darkness.
Clay was speechless. He couldn't believe what he saw. "That means that I'll be like... like..."
"Me?" asked Dark Lord who was now standing in front of him.
"Stay back!" shouted Clay as he threw a fireball at Dark Lord. Dark Lord caugh it by a hand and crushed it in his hands.
"Stubborn aren't we?" asked Dark Lord.
"What are you?" asked Clay.
"Don't you remember me Claytoss. After living for thousands of years and gaining countless knowledge I'm sure you know me..." said Dark Lord.
"Of course I know you! You're Dark Lord! An ancient Evil Who's always trying to destroy everything!" said Clay.
"Ahahaha! Your description is too shallow. You see Claytoss, I've existed for countless aeons and so did you Claytoss. We always battled. You were the spirit of Light and I was the spirit of Darkness. Each and everytime you always won. But not anymore. Do you remeber your brother Claytoss?" asked Dark Lord.
"Y-Yes... What about him" said Clay.
"He was killed by you and not by an accident. And your brother was me!" said Dark Lord.
"N-No! You're lying!" said Clay.
"I do not lie! And now that you've destroyed my body..." he then teleported behind Clay and he touched Clay's body. "I need a host Claytoss and your body is the perfect host for me..." whispered Dark Lord in Clay's ear. Suddenly, black vines sprouted from the ground and restrained Clay.
"Don't touch me!" yelled Clay.
"Don't worry Claytoss. You'll come to like it soon enough..." said Dark Lord. He began to strip Clay's dress .
"N-No! Stop! Please!" begged Clay but he could only watch. When he was completely naked, Dark Lord placed himself between Clay's feet.
"No please..." begged Clay. Tears flowed from his cheeks.
"Do not worry. I will make this as painless as possible." said Dark Lord. He then entered Clay. Clay let out a blood-curdling scream. "Scream all you want. No one can hear you!" said Dark Lord as he banged on Clay harder.
"Aaaaaaah! Anyone please! Help!"yelled Clay." his breathing was faster and shallower. Beads of sweat began to form in his body. Tears were still streaming down his cheeks. Clay fainted from the pain. When Dark Lord reached his limit he released inside Clay. The vives that restricted Clat began to pull away and so did Dark Lord.
"Sleep tight, my brother..." said Dark Lord. He kissed Clay on the forehead and then disappeared.
I thought about this crazy plot twist last night. So, Dark Lord is Clay's brother and they're repeatedly reicarnated for many years. I'll post the next chapter ASAP.
