The substance crawled across his flesh and invaded his bloodstream. His veins, once faintly visible beneath his skin, began turning pitch black one by one, spreading rapidly like ink dropped into clear water.
His skin darkened. Black spread across his arms, his chest, his neck. It was consuming him.
'No!...I don't want to get devoured like this! I don't want to die like this!' This was much more harsher than he thought. He was feeling as if getting consume with someone. Becoming part of something else entirely. And he can't allow that.
Amon's body convulsed violently as he sank deeper into the lake. His limbs flailed for only a few seconds before the resistance became unbearable. Every movement felt like pushing against solidified darkness.
His strength faded fast. His thoughts blurred. The thing was too powerful. It was taking over his mind. It was drowning Amon. It was devouring him.
"Hah… hah…" No sound escaped his mouth, only bubbles of black liquid.
His heartbeat slowed.
