To oitaitai5: I know that about Galamoth but thanks for pointing it out. You never know when you need it or forget about it. About the sequel of the Dark Forboding stories, it's a bit complicated. I plan to make another few of them before the sequel but I hope, myself, that I will get it done soon.

Witch of Dihonour 2: Past

„Nnngghh..." I feel weird.

Everything is black. Something feels heavy because it's held down. I open it. A clear blue stretches out above me. White is mixed in here and there.

„Beautiful... I never saw something like this..." I mutter.

Who am I?

„This world" Looking to my left I can see a child with purple hair, beside him another with light blue hair.

„World?" I wonder as I sit up.

The purple haired one smiles slightly „Yes- you are this world. You are the manifestation of the world, in other words: You are the world itself"

„Amos!" I run and jump on his back before he can turn to me.

„What is it this time?" He asks me friendly.

I laugh at him „We're siblings, right? That's why we have to stay together!"

He laughs as well „Yeah, you're right!"

Amos is always smiling. I really like him. He and Seth are my family. We may not have something like parents but in a sense we are related. Amos is the very first Demon and Seth the very first Vampire. The three of us are the stronger and nobody can beat us!

He looks a bit down and I lose my smile a bit „What's up?"

He looks at me surprised and complains „Seth is really stupid! He always says I'm too childish to be called the Demon King, can you believe it?!"

I snort „Yeah, 'cause you act like a child all day and night!"

I jump down and run away with a huge smile on my first. He chases after me and I laugh. Amos is always like a child and Seth is always calm and quiet. They're the best brothers there are, I never want to leave them!

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

„Stop! Stop!" I cover my ears as I cry, this is too much, it hurts „Please just stop!"

My pleads fall on deaf ears. Why? Everything was so peaceful until now... Just yesterday everyone laughed together. Humans, Demons, Vampires; everyone got along with each other but now... Why do the humans have to fight among themselves? Despait builts up in me as they just continue to slaughter themselves.

„Stop!" I shout for one last time and something breaks inside me.

…

…

…

…

„In...ity"

…

„Infinity..."

…

„Infinity!"

I jolt awake. Seth kneels before me, his face and clothes are full of blood, his blood. A tear escapes his right eye and he embraces me. His head resting on my shoulder as he cries.

„I'm so glad you're back... I'm going to protect you, my little sister, always"

Back? I look around. Corpses litter the ground. Countless corpses of humans, a few demons here and there are injured. Even Amos kneels, holding his stomach. Galamoth stands beside him, trying to help him stand up. Vampires are helping them rest up.

I look down. I notice a blood-stained sword beside me. I lies on the ground. Quietly and unmoving.

„Me...? Was that... me...?" My voice is shacky and tears gather in my eyes.

His grip tightens as heavily injured humans come over. He presses me against him. Seth snarls at them. Snarling isn't something Seth would do, crying isn't either. What have I done? What happened?

One of them comes forward, tears in his eyes with a look of utter regret.

I can't look them in the eye „I'm sorry..."

The man looks even more lost, despair and regret mingle in his eyes „Why are you apologizing? It should be us who should apologize! Infinity! We were so stupid! We have ignored your pleads, it's by no means your fault! Forgive us stupid idiots! Forgive us..."

He and the other humans cry. I still don't understand.

I turn to Seth, despaired in my lost state „Just what..." did I do?

He heaves me into his arms „It doesn't matter. It's alright now, it won't happen again"

I begin to cry and bury my head in his neck.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It's silent. I like the peace. But out there a fight is being fought between the demons. With rules they keep the rate of injured men down.

„You look at ease and yet troubled" Galamoth comments with a small smile.

He's always calm and collected. He's pretty nice. And strong! He's Amos second in command!

„Yeah..." I answer back with a sad smile.

His eyes grow melancholic „I and the others might not return..."

I look at him surprised but then I smile „It doesn't matter!"

Because even if you die, I will die as well someday and we will all meet again!

I look away again. He looks at me shocked, as if he was broken.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sword in hand he walks up to me. I just stand there, on the green hill, and fold my hands. He raises his sword and holds it against my chest.

„I could easily kill you" He informs me with an indifferent face „But I won't do that. I will curse you, you won't be able to move, to talk or do anything else. My curse will spread the moment they save you"

I look up at him, my eyes filled with regret and sadness „Why, Galamoth? Why? You aren't... this kind of person"

His grow sad, only for a split-second, but they grew sad „Because you don't care about us"

He swings his sword at me, I don't even try to dodge. I could easily kill him, defend myself, but I would never hurt someone if I can help it. Blood gushes out of the wound, not enough to kill me yet.

„You won't be able to heal this" He tells me „It is a lethal wound. By the time they arrive they will have to save you from certain death"

He turns his back to me, his short, dirty-green (or is it brown?) hair swaying in the wind. He stops for a singly moment, I can hear his next words. Words that are so simple and yet weight so heavy. Words that don't fit into this whole situation.

„I have always... loved you. But now I don't, not anymore"

He vanishes completely. Leaving me confused and bleeding. My vision grows blurred and my breathing slows. Someone calls for me but I can only hear it quietly. Whoever it is kneels down beside me and cradles me into his arms. I can make out Seth' and Amos' voice. I can faintly hear Hells voice as well. Hell is Seth' daughter. She always plays with me when no one else 's just as nice as my brothers.

„Don't leave! Please don't leave us! We need you, don't leave us behind! Not yet, not yet. Stay with us! ...I beg you...! Stay with us!"

Their voices are so painful. I want to tell them that I'm alright. That I would never leave them but I'm too weak, I know I will die. I wonder what curse Galamoth meant. I felt nothing wrong with me. I raise a trembling hand and put it against the cheek of the person holding me. It's Seth. Seth and Amos curse the humans for some reason. I don't know what the humans did wrong but I can't leave them unprotected. Just like the Vampires, Demons, Plants, Animals and all other life; Humans are part of this world, of me.

I smile weakly, I can heardly breathe „I know... what you're trying to say,... but you must know that... as long as you fight I will fight... as well. Humans are a part of... this world. Instead of trying... to eleminate each othe...rs errors we should... embrace them and try to... teach them... truth. ...It might take decades, centuries... or even thousands... of years but... I'm sure that even they will... understand... that what... they're... doing... is... wrong... So... forgive... them..., forgive... me..., my... belov-"

My breathing stops. I can't breathe anymore. My hand falls and Seth catches it. He seems to shout something, Amos as well. I suddenly feel a piercing pain in my neck but it's gone as fast as it came. My body feels really weird, I stop to think and lose myself in the darkness. I lose consciouness.

My brothers and Hell are looking at what happened to me. Humans that run up to them shout and curse at Seth and Amos, blaming them.

„Bring her back! Bring this world back to life! You killed her, bring her back! If you don't bring her back you will pay with your lifes for hers!

My body feels so heavy. I wake up my body feels heavy. I can't move. Sadness. I can feel sadness somewhere. I black out again, hoping to be able to do something about these persons sadness.

I was turned from a tree into a newborn. From then on, I was Infinity.

I always knew what I was but I denied the truth, hoping it to be a delusion.

Now I even remember Gisela. She was a human friend I had. She died and I cried while holding her corpse in my arms. My tears fell onto it and she was revived. Normally, you can't revive a person like this but my magic made it possible. I didn't know how I did it. She could always die peaceful but she chose to remain and wait for me.

She believed in me until the end, she believed I would come back. I'm sorry, everyone...
