[quote][spoiler]Both. I have some storylines I want to advance, and I want to have a little fun. Feel free to do whatever you like.[/spoiler] [b]He turned[/b] "Here we go."[/quote] It was the goblin the figure beheaded earlier. "Why.... Why..... Why...." it whispered.

"Wait. This isn't right." [b]He cursed[/b] "Balrog"

[quote]"Wait. This isn't right." [b]He cursed[/b] "Balrog"[/quote] "Why.... Why...." it asked again in a whisper. It reached out to the figure, towards the neck. "Why... did you.... remove my head?"

"Are you looking for an answer? Or are you just trying to fool me with dark magic? That, I'm actually very adept in." [b]He took a step back[/b]

[b]He drew his sword and sliced at the apparition, hoping to disrupt the magical flow of darkness[/b] [spoiler]If you destroy or entrap his vessel, he will know. From deep in the formless void he will awaken. He will send forth his children. And in the end, he will find you. All will fall.[/spoiler]

All will fall.[/spoiler][/quote] The sword sliced open the apparition's throat, but where blood would have poured out, bright orange flames emanated. "WHY.... WHY.... [b][i]WHY[/i][/b]," the apparition screamed in a host of voices all at once," WHY DO YOU KILL US?" [spoiler]Nah. Immune to plot devices.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Not you specifically. That was an exert from a certain book. If the prophecy is fulfilled, everything dies[/spoiler] "Because I am the deep." [b]He shifted to his true form, at the height of ten feet, and summoned corrupted shadow[/b]

[b]He shifted to his true form, at the height of ten feet, and summoned corrupted shadow[/b][/quote] [spoiler] It's still plot device.[/spoiler] The apparition appeared to have proportionally grown to match the size of the figure and grabbed hold of the figure's neck. Out of its hollow eyes and mouth poured out a black substance that oozed and dripped onto the figure. As it began to speak, it appears to have caught fire, though it did not burn, physically. "You... you are no longer worthy of the Void. For you are filled with much guilt.... stolen lives.... aaaaand...." a murky bubble burst forth from its mouth, spilling onto the figure's face," INJUSTICE!"

"Lies!" [b]He held a hand to the figures head, and burned the power of the deep into his form, destroying him[/b]

[quote]"Lies!" [b]He held a hand to the figures head, and burned the power of the deep into his form, destroying him[/b][/quote] The manifestation dissipated. Thousands of more apparitional goblins, men, and alien species materialized, each appearing with a different mortal wound gushing out fiery essence like it was blood. With moans, screams, and cries they spoke out, "You have TAKEN us! We are bound with YOU and you with US!" They surrounded the figure from behind and before, side and side, above and below. The beheaded goblin's voice whispered into the figure's ear, "He who takes is no longer Void."
-
"Then let me die." [b]He drew his sword, and plunged it into his own chest. Fire and shadow leaked from the wound, and he began to die[/b] [spoiler]"He is coming for us. Everything will burn."[/spoiler]

[quote]"Then let me die." [b]He drew his sword, and plunged it into his own chest. Fire and shadow leaked from the wound, and he began to die[/b] [spoiler]"He is coming for us. Everything will burn."[/spoiler][/quote] The apparitions drew closer. They grabbed and clawed and groped and clenched. Fiery blood spilled onto the figure from all directions, as if gravity had no place here. The disembodied voice whispered again, "From whom do you take YOUR life? take and Take and TAKE!!! This is why, you are not Void."
-
[b]His voice was calm, even, and fine[/b] "You don't understand. I've given more than anyone. [i]I[/i] am the formless, [i]I[/i] am the deep. And what are you? You've taken everything there is to take. And for that, you are not Void." [b]And the fire and shadow drew back into his form, then exploded outwards, breaking the dark power's hold[/b]

[b]And the fire and shadow drew back into his form, then exploded outwards, breaking the dark power's hold[/b][/quote] Apparitions still clawed and cried out, surrounding the figure. The "light" of the apparitions clouded the figure's vision. Their weights burdening him. "What you gave was not YOURS to give," the goblin whispered. "A form you have, for you exist. Your depth has shallowed, filled with what you have TAKEN, that which was not yours to TAKE. We are not who you think we are. We are what you have forgotten. We are what you have taken." From quick glimpses through the crowd of ghosts, the figure could see the Balrog standing in the distance. Arms were folded, and his head was cocked to the side in a confused posture. It's skin lightly glowed like dimmed embers. The darkness field was no longer in effect. The Uruk-Hai, goblins, and Trolls were nowhere in sight.

"I have not taken you. I gave you to the Void, the formlessness, to unlock the final plane. But your right, I have lost myself. I've been in my pretender form for far too long."

[b][i][u]you're[/u][/i][/b]..." The Balrog shuttered and subtly shook his head. He approached the DOJO gates. As he was about to pass the figure, he stopped and gave a short bow of pity before moving on. He stood at the gate's "doorstep" and knocked.

Edited by Wheatley: 7/12/2017 1:20:31 AM[b]And then something changed, as if he had woken up from an eternal slumber[/b] "Then let the world burn." [b]He stood, and clenched his fist. The resounding wave burned and destroyed all of the apparitions. He was different. He was free[/b] [spoiler]The real version of him has arrived[/spoiler]

The resounding wave burned and destroyed all of the apparitions. He was different. He was free[/b] [spoiler]The real version of him has arrived[/spoiler][/quote] The apparitions evaporated. For a moment, the figure could see the trees in the distance. The cool breeze. The gentle pull of gravity. The rustling on leaves. Then suddenly, the same apparitions rematerialized. Only this time, they were accompanied by millions. The silence shattered with screams of helpless women and females. They approached the figure. The "lights" from so many were almost blinding. The sound of cries, cacophonous. After no immediate answer, the Balrog glanced back at the figure. After growing more aware of his own guilt and shame, he turned back to the gate and called out to anyone who would hear. [spoiler]This subthread will run sort of parallel to another, fyi.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Cool[/spoiler] [b]He felt nothing. He clenched his fist, and burned them again. Then he began to walk towards the Balrog[/b] [spoiler]Don't try that again [/spoiler]

[quote][spoiler]Cool[/spoiler] [b]He felt nothing. He clenched his fist, and burned them again. Then he began to walk towards the Balrog[/b] [spoiler]Don't try that again [/spoiler][/quote] Tens of millions of apparitions reappeared. Howls and shrieks of creatures sounded out along with the rest. The goblin's voice whispered again, "This curse on your head is what you have bought. For eternity, now, your mind will rot. To each of us, you have given no thought. And now... you must suffer... ALL you have wrought. You are not the Void; but [b][i][u]It[/u][/i][/b] IS coming..."
