DARK CITY | 7
Spirit Realm | Samo Hatu
The weakness of a Wolf, the skin shedding as the world around burned. The mind of a hunter- grasping for strength, determination to follow in suit. Yet, no end goal- a weight held in such egotistical malice. The wolf howled in a frenzy.
Samo Hatu: *sweating* What's...the goal here...What will this accomplish? This ain't no damn way to invite me into your clan.
The Spirit of Skar: This isn't about that anymore is it? This is about why your soul is missing fragments. Control the curse, accept it's dark gift.
Samo Hatu: And he a freak show like the guys out there? That curses that kill and destroy? HELL NO- I AIN'T GONNA DO THAY SHIT.
The Spirit of Skar: You still don't understand do you? You're already accepted, it's about if you can accept yourself.
Samo Hatu: What the hell are you talking about...?
The Spirit of Skar: Think about it, you were gifted or cursed. One of them-
-Since birth, you have been marked. There's a reason for that; nothing ever happens just as coincidence or for no reason. Everything in our world has purpose, even if it is beyond our comprehension.
Samo Hatu: I don't need some ghost or fake diety telling me what's what. I got myself, I don't care about any of this nonsense.
The Spirit of Skar: You still don't get it do you...After looking deep, and finding that dark spot. Your pride still tugs onto your heart strings.
Samo Hatu: It ain't that...I can't leave myself open, it always ends bad. I wanna believe you, I do. I ain't all bad-
The light faded as Samo Hatu was awakened from his sleep, back in the chiefs quarters.
Chief Sullivan: This will do, you are broken. But I do trust you, your ego may come in handy.
Samo Hatu: What did I learn, what was it that you wanted me to see so badly?
Chief Sullivan: Yourself. And that you did, your decisions to close yourself off, and have an angered facade- it isn't you. It's only a construct, whether you accept that or not.
Samo Hatu: So what now?
Chief Sullivan: Something is coming, rest for now. And soon, we will empower you. This empowerment will stay with you.
Samo Hatu: Thank you Chief, even if I don't understand, I do thank you.
Chief Sullivan: Don't lose this one Wolf, if you truly are here to help us. You will take down this beast.
Church Outpost | Dark City
Desmond: PSYCHO AWAKENING - PHASE ZERO - SNOWSTORM.
The air grew cold, as snow and ice gathered around the two. Enclosing them within a battlefield, allowing the safety of Clay outside.
Zykart: An awakening huh? You, a novice- that's gotta be some kinda luck. Or a certain bloodline-
Desmond: I'm a nobody, from an unknown town- but I got something y'all curses don't have. I GOT HEART. AND THAT MEANS SOMETHING TO US HUMANS.
Metallic strings flung towards the barrier, a few shredding through the outside. At the same time, Zykart had powered up an attack, lunging towards Desmond.
Zykart: FIRE STYLE WHIRLWIND, ROCK YEAHHHHH.
Desmond: ICE SHIELD.
Zykart: GRAND FLAME; BREAKTHROUGH.
Desmond: ICICLE ATTACK X73.
The icicles shed their way towards Zykart, melting them with his fire attacks. And making his way towards Desmond once more.
Zykart: YOU DON'T GET IT DO YOU- YOU FIGHT LIKE SOMEONE WHO IS AFRAID. THAT'LL GET YOU GOT, ROCKKKKK.
Desmond: YOU DON'T GET IT EITHER, YOU GOT A LOT OF PRIDE FOR SOMEONE WHO'S FALLEN INTO MY TRAP.
Zykart: Huh?...
An explosion of ice ruptured inside the barrier, the ground had been enhanced do to the climate within the field. Absorbing the rot in the vicinity.
Zykart: GYAHHHHH-
Desmond: Now, it's time I finish this.
