The Darkin Among Humanity

Chapter 2: Late Night With A Darkin.

Akiren arrives home and unlocks the door with his house keys.

Akiren: Mom I'm home!

Silence filled the room and Akiren was filled with confusion, his Mom usually home and Dad was usually busy with work. But today seemed odd...

Rhaast: Sheesh. Do you not have parents?

Akiren: I do Rhaast! Dad is usually busy and Mom is home most of the time. But where is Mom?...

Akiren walks around the house and looks around and finds a note on the table.

The Note: Hi Akiren! I have to go to my high school reunion today. I left you some food on the table. Just some bacon and some rice, see you tonight.
Love Mom

Akiren: High School Reunion?

Rhaast: What does that mean?

Akiren: It means that people who used to be students of a certain school get back together and socialize.

Rhaast: Well I know what reunions are but I never had heard anything about such a thing for schools.

Akiren: That's understandable... That being said, let's eat.

Rhaast: Yeah. The bacon looks good.

Akiren sits down and begins to eat, Rhaast however was in no need of nutrients and Akiren was curious to learn more about his new companion.

Akiren: Rhaast are you able to eat in any way? I can tell you're hungry.

Rhaast: Well yes but since you're supposedly my human host, we share the same stomach so your nutrients are also my nutrients.

Akiren: Huh... Okay then... Did you have anything to eat like ten thousand years ago?

Rhaast: Unfortunately I had to feast on the souls of various humans back then. My mission was to annihilate Fate after all. But yes human souls were my sustenance. I did enjoy human food during my time as a god warrior.

Akiren: Jeez... What happened to you?

Rhaast: That curse of Immortality which drove me insane and nearly caused the end of everything.

Akiren: Oh yeah...

Rhaast: Yeah.... But that's beyond me now.

Akiren finishes his meal and then heads upstairs. He enters his room to reveal many trophies on a shelf, a practice sword, a staff, his bed, and his desk with his computer.

Rhaast: This is your quarters I believe?

Akiren: Yeah. Anything catches your eye?

Rhaast: Yes. I see that sword and staff of yours.

Akiren: Yeah, I used to do martial arts. I'm retired now but I still use these two weapons in my free time which explains all those trophies on the shelf.

Rhaast: Those are trophies?

Akiren: Yeah what about them?

Rhaast: The only trophies I remember having were skulls. They were the skulls of every major opponent I had killed during my conquest.

Akiren: Wow...  Let me guess, decapitaion was your go to method of ending the fight?

Rhaast: My my, I'd dare say you know me a bit well if you say that.

Akiren: Well... Thank you I suppose. That being said, I've never killed before.

Rhaast: In all actuallity?

Akiren: Yeah.. I've only killed in video games.

Rhaast: Vide- Wait what? What does that mean?

Akiren: They are games played on a device that is powered by electricity.
