It was nightfall and the three of us were standing in front of the gates to the path of shadows.
The way here was easy, after waking up we immediately set off and in no time at all the forest turned back to the river bank. No monsters came to us which was really strange... the map said that after the forest monster encounters would be really common.
The gates had a metal arch and a dark oak wood base, the metal gates had bars and you could see beyond. After the gates, all you could see was darkness.
This path was made specifically to catch runaways like me.
Messorem always whispers in my ear but I've learned to ignore him, I assume he will be even worse in the path of shadows.
"It's now or never." Pit says stepping forward. I shake my head and my heart starts pounding "I can't." I say, my breathing becomes ragged and I hold my oar tightly against my body. Even though my oar is the source of all my problems I feel really attached to it.
"Y/N, we've been working to get here for over a week!" Pit says turning to look at me "Just imagine- behind those gates is freedom!" he exclaims gesturing to he gates.
That's what gets me going, freedom.
"I promise I will do my best to help you," Pit says with an encouraging smile "Even if I don't know what's going on..." he adds the last bit quietly.
Pit goes to open the gates and Dark Pit steps next to me. "I know this sounds weird coming from me but, I will do my best to help you too. I mean it is kind of my responsibility since I'm the only one who knows." Pittoo adds the last bit hastily.
I nod too petrified to even speak.
Pit takes my hand and gently pulls me forward inside the open gates, Dark Pit follows from behind. It's so dark in here that you can only see a meter away from you.
After I pass the threshold Messorem's whispering turns into shouting, it pounds the inside of my head and makes me loose focus on everything else.
YOU AREN'T GOOD ENOUGH
YOU'LL NEVER ESCAPE ME
THERE'S ONLY BAD IN YOU
YOU WERE MADE TO BE BAD
It's too much for me...
I fall forwards and land on my knees, but I'm in too much trauma to feel the pain. I let go of Pits hands and cover my ears. I can faintly hear footsteps running towards me, almost drowned out by Messorem's yelling.
YOU WILL NEVER BE FREE
"THAT'S NOT TRUE!" I shout unable to take this verbal abuse anymore.
Pit grabs my shoulder "Y/N! Are you okay?!" he exclaims. "Walk away Pit." I snap at him, I can't control my anger anymore...What is happening to me?!
"What is wrong with her?!" I hear Pit ask Dark Pit.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST GIVE UP
The shouting gets louder and louder until I can barely hear Pit and Dark Pit...
DO US ALL A FAVOUR AND GIVE UP
"WHEN WILL YOU SHUT UP?!" I shriek, my breathing becomes heavy and uneven.
"Who is she talking to Pittoo?! -Tell me!"
"She's talking to her... Reaper..."
"Wh-what's going to happen to her?!"
"I don't know, Pit"
"Can we help her?!"
"This is her fight."
"No one can help me!" I yell at the both of them, saying a silent sorry in my head
I close my eyes, sound is the only thing I can focus on now.
I hear a whispering noise and open my eyes quickly only to see someone familiar standing in front of me with a scythe. Messorem...
I stand up despite their voice shouting in my head.
IF YOU WON'T GO BACK-
I'LL MAKE YOU!
"I'M NOT GIVING UP SO EASILY, REAPER!"
I pick up my oar... I'm probably going to loose. But not without a fight! Freedom is all I've wanted- It's all I've been fighting for all through this journey.
I helped Pit, tried to fight a hydra, went behind Hades's back, left my old life behind, faced a Chimaera and broken my back a million times- All for sweet freedom. I'm not gonna let that all be wasted in surrender.
"Isn't that the one who saved us?!"
"They are, Pit."
"Why are they fighting Y/N then?!"
"I don't know."
"Can't we help?!"
"This is her fight Pit! If things get bad- we'll interfere. I'm not so sure we can take down an embodiment of pure evil, but we'll have to try!"
I charged to Messorem with my excuse for a weapon, Messorem jumped out of the way and I landed on the black sand. With another scream I charged again, but this time I managed to hit them.
They lunged for me and tried to slash at me with their scythe but I managed to raise my oar. I'm glad it was unbreakable because if it wasn't I would be gone.
YOU THINK YOU'RE WINNING DON'T YOU
YOU DON'T KNOW THE FULL EXTENT OF MY POWER
Messorem lunges at me again and this time he has a strange blue fire surrounding him. His scythe is now lit up and it misses me by an inch, the edge of my chiton is singed by the blue fire.
"I think now would be a good time to interfere Pittoo!"
"I think so too!"
Pit and Dark Pit join the party... but my reaper is too powerful...
YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT ME?!
I'M HADES'S PURE CONCENTRATED POWER!
He stops them mid jump and laughs cruelly. I take this distraction and hit Messorem with my oar. He falls down for a moment and I keep hitting him, but then he gets up and starts floating in the air.
He lifts an arm up and an unknown force push Pit and Dark Pit away from me towards the exit of the underworld.
Pit reaches out an arm towards me but it's shy by a few inches.
"Y/N!"
"Goodbye Pit..."
I should have known I'd loose...
I'm just too much of a villain to be free of this burden...
Now, now Y/N...
Say hello to some old friends of yours...
I feel two arms on my shoulders and I turn around with a start.
I see Atropos and none other than Deimos.
"I've finally found you, Y/N... time to make you pay..." Atropos smiles.
"come, come... we have been waiting..." Deimos laughs.
Goodbye forever... freedom...
Hope you have a good life Pit...
AN:
I bet you didn't see that coming! Don't worry the book isn't over yet! There is still time for Pit to die, Messorem to die and Y/N to be tortured! I hope you enjoyed and thanks for reading! Stay safe!
