The Sky the Crab and the ground in a swift motion of a crabs whim of a decision I! Uhh.. I- ... Who am I... ... Foolish. I was careless I'm Corrupted So How Am I Conscious!?
Whatever..
I'm not dead; Not Yet, After all I'm not "me" Im... I'm the thorns that replace my physical Vessels matrix. Losing my head IS in fact nothing to me... like chipping off a small piece of skin while shaving dead skin off, No wait.. that's exactly what this is.
Whilst in the process of recovering my bearings I Form a Small Circular thorny mass where my head used to be.., whilst effectively blind..
Within the orb shaped thorny mass a gurglish ghoul toned vocal enunciation
"What delightful soft shelled Delicacy~"
Raising My Sword To and fro in a threatening singular circular sway as if golfing without enthusiasm or as if my strength is leaving me but really im just implying to the creature ahead that its the end for thee for eyes of gold, black, and red I commit to a Far ranged Dash at the lesser beast that had managed to become quite the nuisance.
as the wind swept against my very face causing me to squint even if my head isn't attached to my body I can still perceive the crab from the simple fact of which my head is rotated in as it gazes towards me and the crab the yellow pupil the red iris and the black Sclera tightening into a small difficult to see constriction and back into a dilation rapidly as my almost dead brain releases heaps and heaps of adrenaline after all... even if I am no longer human A brain is needed... but then.. when all seemed lost
Hunger.
With A Speedy Fluorescent Blaze bringing me within mere feet away from the giant crab I swung As Hard and quickly as I could Trying to Remember my Old long forgotten muscle memory of how I used to train so hard Just to leave the wooden dummy a dent with my wooden sword in my long forgotten sword style...
And When the blade finally connected against their claws maw as they attempted to apprehend my arms extension they found that they were no longer breathing... I had Cut them In two.
falling to my knees I remind myself even if I killed my enemy I too will succumb to The Shades embrace in the end...
or at least I had thought But with my Iris Glinting Green A Symbol Of Willpower Of which my caregiver had always told me when I was a wee boy I gripped my thorny vessels vines with my old physical form effectively inflicting self paralysis but I had remembered something... I simply wont give up here not now not ever That's what I had told myself and everyone around me... why would I have a reason to lie now... especially after a well deserved victory I must feast so that I Wont waste a perfectly good meal!
I Dashed with the last health I had left back to my head falling to stop and tumble almost there crawling almost there now but I'm tired I can't go on... I'm too heavy,
Warm, Viscous, Pain.. I too am in halves now ironic isn't it... oh why you might asked..? well its simple If im too heavy then I must Get rid of the useless weights, So I Cut my self in half by the waist.
Crawling further I'm Almost there now Not much further But.., unfortunately My arms lost its strength just now.. is it over...? no I must utilize one hundred percent of my body..
My vined thorns stretching like a plant growing in the direction of the sun to survive allas it finally grips my head and- and then Finally I smashed it.. Into tiny pieces as hard as I could with my strong vines. curling my thorny vines to grab my eyes I gathered them and returned them to me... and wit that done I used my essence To sustain my life for as long as I could while I dragged my nearly identified corpse like body towards the crab thirty minutes... for thirty minutes I dragged myself towards the crab along the coral flooring... and then..? Simple, I Sated my starvation, ahh it was Good enough to sustain me for a little while later and when I had done all the things I needed to do in that moment I finally drifted off to sleep for my fate to either be sealed or to have another chance at living...
***
Heart Beating blocking my ear drums from receiving any other sound... my mind plagued with nothing absence of anything well of course I can't think I destroyed my brain... But as to whether Im dead..? ... Im unaware though this beating thud throughout my whole body is.. irritating to say the least. and it feels like scars healing or cold water on a bad sunburn maybe all of this at once..?
My teeth Rot, My lungs filled with Mold, My eyes bumps blisters and white blood cells flow out like maggots and water, my nails dirtier then if playing in the dirt for a hundred years straight without rain to wash within them to at least grant a break from the lack of hygiene, my tendons snapping inside my arms and reforming instantly to keep me awake within the pain muscles pinched folding and cramping constantly, my ears feel like knives are scraping around uselessly for the fun of it.., hair glued and ripped of my head over and over my knees folding the wrong way only to be lifted rudely to be broken again and again my heart pounding as if filled with mucus my lungs tight as if I'm choking on saliva, gasoline, and snot... my fingers snapping backwards and forwards after they heal within seconds my mind straining in on its self as the tissue surround the inside of my skull become stretched to almost ripping then pinched all over..
***
waking up was unusual as soon as I awoke the pain Gone as If I hadn't been almost killed just now no legs no head only vine covered with an abundance of thorns a human torso and my eyes inside the orb of thorns that replace my heads typical space.., Im bigger I assume I am stronger but how and why..?
Alright then.. lets remember that corpses memories.. I was a Fallen Devil.. Now I'm corrupted.., I'm now a Corrupted Devil and Ill make my way east..
