Reborn As Lamia Killer Sans!

The Echo

(Slash POV)

My vision was dark and yet It was peaceful. I felt relaxed, I felt protected. For what reason, I didn't even know but it made me feel like staying here forever in this darkness where I couldn't hear a sound, where I did not feel pain, where I was safe. However, it seemed like the universe was against this small want...

It started as a small far away speck of light. At first, I turned away from it, not liking the brightness. But it seemed turning away was useless because slowly yet surely, my surroundings brightened until all I saw was that blinding white light, it was to the point it felt painful to my vision.

And then, I woke up. My eye sockets snapped open, the bright white light was gone but in it's place, a pain like no other rattles my body as my skull ached in pain. It felt like a sledgehammer hitting inside my skull, trying to break out and my bones creaked under my weight as I tried moving only to stop when I felt something rising up my throat. Trying to hold in whatever was about to leave my mouth with my hands, it is useless as my throat burns and then with no hesitation, blood came pouring out as tears started streaming down my face, all out of my control.

I felt like crap. My body felt weak, and in pain. And as if things couldn't get worse than it already was, the faint sound of a crack was heard. Stopping, I looked down and felt a shiver go down my spine as I looked at my soul that always hovered over my chest. My soul, it now had a small crack in it. 'No, this can't be happening, I don't want to die, no no no.' And as my eye lights shrunk to pin pricks, my soul beated faster and it felt as if my throat was closing up as the metallic scent of blood hovered around me, making me feel worse.

And right when I felt like spiraling, warmth suddenly enveloped me and my body immediately collapsed back onto the ground in weak relief. I couldn't see what it was that was causing this warmth, the tears blurred my vision and a high pitched ringing sound in my skull muted out the rest of my hearing.

As I laid there, vision blurred and hearing blocked, I could feel my soul still beating fast as the fear of death hanged over me. However, as time passes, my soul started to beat slower, almost calm as the pain died down on my body. Even the pain in my skull was only a dull ache now. Unfortunately, I could still smell and taste the scent of my blood on me as my mind started to slip off to dreamland again.

And then, darkness consumed me once more, all thoughts and worries lost to sleep.

(Meanwhile-)

"Gen, please stop slithering around back and forth like that, sure it's gonna take some time but the guy is gonna be fine. River said so." Wither assured as Gen stopped to glance at his mate before looking back at the lamia once again asleep in the nest. "How could I not worry? You saw how much pain he was in! Not to mention, Look at his soul. He could've died if River didn't heal him in time!" Gen said as River, looking exhausted and drained of magic gave a weak thumbs up before flopping back down to rest as Star let's out a nervous chuckle watching as gen got heated up the longer he talked.

"Still, worrying like this will just stress you out more." Wither said before trying to convince Gen to rest, saying he'd look after the patient in question. And after hours of convincing, Gen finally relented and went to rest as wither kept an eye light on the patient.

And as night fell, the sound of crickets could be heard chirping as a gentle breeze swept in. Moonlight shining through the trees as it enveloped whatever it touched in a soft glow.

(At A Nearby Lake-)

...A Flower. But not just any flower, It was what one called an Echo Flower, glowing softly under the moonlight. It swayed gently as it echoes whatever it heard that day. And if one went close to hear what it said, they would surely feel uneasy. The echo coming from the flower wasn't that of a voice but a sound. A very ominous sound.

It was the sound of something tearing open space and coming through. Afterwards, a chilling sound of someone laughing echoed, it was not a laugh of joy but one dripping with ill intent. And then, silence. Then, as if the previous echo was nothing but a trick of the ear or the mind, the echos of crickets filled the air in a ominous peaceful silence.

(Have a good day and night!)

Info:

Slash has a hectic life.

Slash's soul was healed just in time due to River getting there at the right moment. However, Healing the soul takes a lot of magic and so does the body. And so, while River was able to heal the crack in Slash's soul and small wounds on his body, there's still the problem of his physical body's bigger wounds chipping and dusting little by little.

Ink is currently knocked out. Dream knocked him out with his staff, he couldn't stand ink's complaining.

Nightmare feels like throwing something- oh look, killer walked in just in time to be thrown.

Killer feels something is off.

Night is still bickering with his brother Light.
