Lloyd looked around as the darkness swallowed everything around him. He couldn't fight it. "Help!" Lloyd shouted, "Someone please! Father! Uncle! Anybody! It's got me!" It reached a shadow-like hand to him, and it tried to grab him by the leg.
"Little boy…" it hissed. "No one will save you now, you are all alone…" it told him. The darkness whispered to him. Slithering all around him. Lloyd shivered as he felt the darkness snake up his arms and legs, taking control of him.
"Am I… all alone?" Lloyd whispered. He only felt darkness around him. He looked around. He only saw darkness around him.
"All alone… Just a little boy… crying out for help… no one wants you, no one needs you…"
"Th-that's not true!" Lloyd shouted for help, but no one could hear him. The darkness engulfed him under the sea of shadows, and nearly swallowed him whole. Before he was completely swallowed, he saw five people walking towards him. Were they wearing… ninja gi? One figure reached out their hand, and Lloyd tried to grab it, but failed to do so. His eyes looked onto them in fear, and they just stood there. Help! It's got me! Lloyd tried to scream for help again, but the tentacles of shadows wrapped around his head, and he couldn't see a thing.
"Is it? Or is that only what your puny mind wants you to think? Why do you think your father never lets you outside the pavilion grounds?" Lloyd heard an evil laugh ring throughout his ears as the shadows silenced his final scream for help as the cold clouds of pure darkness dragged him under. He would never see the light again
