Silver Eyed Abomination

Deteriorating

F/N stood beside his former master, the blade of his scythe touching his neck, "What a rude greeting." He said.

"What do you want?" F/N asked, "If you are here to kill my daughter..."

"It would be hypocritical of me to go after your daughter when I myself would do the same thing you did if I was in your position." He replied, "Kohina put down your weapons we are here to talk to him calmly." He said. F/N glaced at the little girl who had her dual swords aimed at him. One was on his neck the other on his dominant arm.

"But Papa..." Kohina began.

"Now Kohina, besides he isn't the only one that is dangerous." He said. Terra stood behind a shotgun aimed at Kohina, "Swords down." He said again.

"Yes Papa." Kohina said as she lowered her weapons. Terra lowered gun in response.

"Now why are you here?" F/N asked.

"I can't give my old student some help?" He asked.

"Why now of all times?" F/N asked.

"What do you mean why now? I have been helping you ever since you left. Why do you think you barely met with so many assassins from our tribe? You didn't think your siblings can take out the entire tribe by themselves." He said.

"Did you?" F/N began.

"No. I just told them I may have heard you were on your way to Atlas with the target." He said.

"That's the last place I would go with Midori." F/N replied lowering his scythe.

"Exactly what they thought as well. I'm sure you can guess what I did." He said.

"So you want to help me... Why?" F/N asked.

"I told you. You are like the son I always wanted." He said.

"Papa." Kohina said as she pouted at him.

"I said son for a reason Kohina. You are the perfect daughter, but F/N is my idea of a perfect son." He said.

"My question..." F/N began but stopped as he began to cough heavily. Terra ran up to him and held him up as he struggled to stand.

"You and your siblings aren't the only ones to perform that forbidden ritual. There is a reason why it was sealed and banned." He said, "The spirit you four took in isn't the first to be a danger to Remnant and it certainly won't be the last." F/N recovered from his coughing fit and was bleeding from his mouth, "Unlike your siblings you are far more stronger physically, mentally, and spiritually. That spirit knows he can't break you easily so he is trying to weaken you first."

"What do you mean?" Terra asked.

"His health is deteriorating, Death can't save you from this." He said.

"I am aware of that." F/N replied.

"What if you died tomorrow due to your weakened state? I know you won't die without any regrets."

"I won't die." F/N said standing up and taking a few steps forward.

"You're strong still but tomorrow? Five days from now? You had Ragnarok in you for what... Three days and your already exposing symptoms of TB, though this version is incurable as Ragnarok is the cause. Soon your spirit will begin to weaken and you will be more susceptible to hallucinations due to your mind being vulnerable." He said.

"He's right you aren't as maneuverable as you used to be." Terra said.

"You were a bit sluggish for someone trained by Papa." Kohina said.
