"IM. NOT. A. MASS. OF. DARKNESS!!!"
My blood boiled so much I felt like my heart could burst at any moment.
"Fucking coward!" I added together with my full rage. I began to gain tunnel vision and my breathing became more and more sharper... I was holding onto my life. Until I felt a sudden sharp sense of anger. I was so full of bloodlust I could rip apart anything and all my bloodlust was concentrated onto one point. That one point was Crow, the man in front of me. My body became a puppet and I felt like the numbing of death come down upon me like a ton of bricks.
And then...
(Narrator)
The chains that binded Specter so much were broken and he broke free from Crow's grasp. Now with the exception of his skin being replaced with this... matte black and his eyes were replaced with a piercing white glow that even shook the bones within Crow himself.
"W-what the..." He himself finally took the choice to yield and leave the beast he saw Specter turn into.
"WƏ ĄŘĘ ØŅÉ" A voice screeched at the top of its lungs as it shook the very foundations of Crows body. The voice came from the beast in front of him.
"Y-you... monster" Crow trembled in his voice with fear as he backed away. The fear of death was written in his eyes.
"You... are... a..." The beast paused there. Crow in front of it tried to say something back to it but the words shattered before they could emit from him. It looked into his eyes with a still frame...
"You are a..." It said again but with a much more crippled voice... it even sounded deep fried in a way.
"You. Are. A. Monster..." The beast finally responded and then it suddenly took one step forward that shook the entire area.
"You are a monster, you are a monster, you are a monster, you are a monster, you are a monster, you are a monster..." It kept repeating that...
At the same time...
He could hear a cry...
They were the cries of Specter...
"I'm... not a mass of darkness..." He murmured in complete fear and shame as the beast repeated its words over him. The right eye of the beast dissappeared and all you could see behind was what used to be a bright, brown eye now have the life removed and taken away from it.... replaced with a dark void.
"I'm not a monster" He repeated behind the beast.
Crow stood there, looking at the young mans eye and the listening to the beast repeat the words.... it only dawned on him then that Specter was not only being tormented by others... but
The element itself was tormenting him...
Crow had as much power to take in the minds of others and so he did here as his curiosity peaked and when he did he wasn't expecting to hear WHISPERS.
He heard whispers... made by the element itself...
(Warning: this part is very, very crazy so please prepare yourself or you can skip or turn back if you want)
Hurt yourself
Die
No one needed you
Your a burden
Your clan all died
Nothing matters
Kill anything
Your a carcass now.
It's a lie
They're lies
It's all lies
Life isn't worthThe Kenchi clan is all dead
You betrayed many
You even killed... people...
This was in his mind and at this point even Crow was shedding tears.
"I'm sorry..." He whispered quietly enough for Specter not to hear
"This is why I hate the world, why I became a villain... they kept labeling me just the way you're labelled. You're no monster, you're not a mass of darkness... you're a person but people refuse to see that..."
"At least I never saw you as a mass of darkness... at least I don't see you as a monster"
"Now die...!!" He whispered again and he went to punch the creature. The creature fell down and hit itself on the concrete floor. Before it flatlined, it made a horrid screeching noise that shook the very core of Crow...
"What. Have. I done?!" He murmured to himself in silence...
"The poor boy..."
"I know" Kan would reply with a calm tone in the background.
"That's the reality of the world unfortunately... and reality is harsh for all... even for men with the largest manhoods or those men with the largest mental capacity" He added.
"As my sworn enemy I respect you for one reason..."
"Why?"
Kan's lips curled up into a very genuine smile. Even if his eyes were covered up by his kasa hat, Crow could see and make out a smile
"Because you acknowledge your foes... as a true warrior should" He replied rather proudly.
"Now if you may... please stop this war"
"I can't... I'm sorry..."
"You... can't?"
Crow stepped back with a newfound fear...
"Indeed I can't..." Then, he escapes swiftly, leaving no trace of his former presence...
