I charged him, effortlessly dodging his blows. I could see his every move a split second before he used it. He grunted in outrage and swung faster. It got even harder to dodge. His blows connected and started wearing me down.

I could hear Willow screaming my name, but it was hazy and unclear. I didn't feel normal. We didn't feel normal. The punches didn't hurt as much as they should have. Everything was blurry and clear at the same time.

I was myself, and yet someone else. We were one, and yet individuals.

We were finally beating the crap out of Devon!

I felt him falter under my counterattacks before he yelped at his entourage. They broke the circle and charged me. The whole pack against one.

No. Two.

We leapt away from devon, higher than humanly possible. His posse gaped as we soared over them and landed yards away, unscathed. One of them stepped back, "Dude! Look at his eyes!" he shouted.

The others swore and stared. One of them accused me of being a demon. "Are they supposed to be golden?!"

We laughed, a harmonious duet. "We are no demon. We are divinity!" Where were all these crazy thoughts coming from?! They scowled at us and charged.

We lunged at them, baring our teeth. We dodged everything they threw at us as we swiftly dispatched them. They faltered without much effort.

Eventually, we stood over the unconscious challengers. Only Devon remained. We stepped toward him. He staggered back and fell. "That's enough!" A clear voice brought me away from my trance.

Willow stood to the side, fear and anger in her eyes. "Jackson, you need to come with me. Now."

I looked around myself, noticing for the first time the amount of my victims. "W-what? H-how...?" I looked to Willow. Her eyes emitted a soft orange glow. "What have I done?"

In response, she took a shaky breath. "We need to talk."
