"And just where d'you think you're going, Anguish my brother?"

A pair of blood-red eyes held nought but contempt in them as they gazed at a dark-haired figure garbed in all black. The figure carried an unholy blade of darkness strapped to his back, and over the weapon was a shield bearing an inverted Triforce mark. The figure sneered contemptuously but did not meet the other's gaze.

"Away from here," he stated flatly. "Though that is hardly any of your concern, Strife. Go back to the others."

"Like hell," the first voice spat. "Why would you leave the Clan? Does it have to do with---"

"SHUT UP!!!" Anguish hissed. "Don't you DARE speak of him!!! You have no idea how that felt!!!"

"You dare to run away from Master Dragmire? All because you watched your Light pass from his world? You are no true Dark, Anguish. Master Dragmire will be most displeased with your act of betrayal."

"Master Dragmire can slag off. Just like the rest of you. I'm leaving, Strife. And you cannot hope to stop me."

The first voice took a moment before speaking again. And when it did, it was cold and scathing. "You're pathetic, Anguish. You will never escape Master Dragmire. He will find you. And he WILL kill you."

"I do not fear death." Anguish hissed. "Only the aspect of being forgotten."

And with that, Anguish left. The very air shimmered around his departing frame and time itself seemed to swallow him up.
