A Story for a Line

by Dark Angel Bakura

Basically identical to my series "A Story for a Word", except each chapter is based on a quote. All chapters are still Bakurae-centric. Generally will be rated T for language, blood, and occasional swearing. Non-yaoi. Chapter 10 - Strongest. "Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls. The most massive characters are seared with scars." - Kahil Labanese

2. Getting Out

"It is easier to get into the enemy's toils than out again." - Aesop

Putting on the Ring had been easy. It had taken barely a second to do. He felt a little tightness, a little coldness, and then everything was normal. He actually enjoyed the Ring for a while. It made him feel less alone, important.

But when he learned about the price, he knew that nothing was worth the pain he caused others. But taking off the Ring wasn't as easy as putting it on had been.

Years after the Spirit had died or vanished or whatever, he was still struggling to take it off.
