Countless wounds he bore
Terrifying battles he fought
Human hands that bore nothing but hate
He cleaved the sky
He rendered the earth
He brought fear to the unknown
Mothers knew him
Father abhorred him
Brothers hated him
Sisters despised him
Aunts cursed him
Uncles sought to kill him
Counting his days, he sought an
The six seas, the three worlds, the prideful ones
He crossed the veil and met another
Human hands that could hurt him
Hands that were so drenched in blood, they practically oozed with crimson
They fought, battled and raged
Days, months and seasons
Till
The hands that were wrought in blood
Carved his heart out
His skull caved
His intestines were draped across the lands
His blood filled the oceans
And his corpse thrown to the depths
Being the victor
The man drenched in blood, ran
Away, away, away
Further, Further, further and further
All the pain, torment, battles and victories
He left behind with that corpse
He crossed plain, deserts, treacherous mountains, seas, oceans
He travelled further and further
Hoping to reach somewhere
The star guided him, the celestial bodies hid him
He travailed the depths that circled round
Reaching someplace unknown to man or beast
A land of terrifying darkness, a land of undeniable pain
And yet,
He felt home
Being the sole flame that chased the darkness
He found rest in that forgotten place
And till this day
He rests, undisturbed.

Dressed in a very loose night gown, Sashah lay atop her bed, drifting in and out of random thoughts that crossed her mind. Her opulent bed and room drowned in the shadow of night as she randomly mumbled, Man, knowing not what she said.
With an exasperated sigh, she rose from her bed shuffling into the comfortable slippers that were beside her bed as she began walking around her assigned room, occasionally stopping to face the full blue moon that shone delicately high in the sovereign heavens, the resplendent jewellery of the heavens being sparse being overshone by the bright light that rule the night sky.
Turning her head to face the heavy suitcase that she brought along with her, she walked back to her bedside, casually playing with white cotton slippers that kept her comfortably warm.
The school was so silent that one could her a pin drop from over 20 meters away, her mind void of thoughts that would have kept her awake, but she was just simply too bored to go take a rest within this quiet and peaceful night til an idea sparked within her mind. Her eyes shining with a new light, she quickly rose from her seat walking towards the center of the room.
Standing still as she focused the torrents of En that pulsated throughout her being, she willed the tumultuous river that coursed endlessly within her to finally escape from within her. The world turned a bloody red as terrifying cataracts of crimson blood fell angrily painting the very air a vibrant red, the repugnant stench of rot and blood filling the room.
Quietly gazing at the works of her creation, she relaxed deeply as she took a deep breath of the abhorrent stench that permeated the atmosphere intensely, seemingly savoring the powerful stench as a visible smile bloomed on her round beautiful features.
Settling her content expression she set her gaze firmly towards the towering cataracts that flowed from on high crashing terrifyingly atop the marbled earth, various carcasses of strange creatures floating within the pools of coagulated warm crimson blood that joined each other forming tiny streams that all flowed towards Sashah who stood at the very center of it all.
More cataracts of vicious blood formed around her forming thick crimson curtains that veiled the source of the strange phenomenon within the room. At peace with what had finally took place, she gazed deeply towards the crimson veil, tiny bubbles forming within the coagulated pools of bright crimson blood,
"come out."
She spoke quietly towards the crimson cataract that had turned into a terribly dark liquid, though the stench remained the same but the darkness that had overtaken the brightness of crimson veiled, stretched onward reaching towards the very source of the magnificent cataracts.
A deep bellow filled the room.
Not surprised at the grand entrance, Sashah spoke, her tone calm as she looked directly towards the darkness that had spread throughout the terrifying cataract of immense size and profound depth.
"I need your advise..."
A deep bellow once again filled the room, this time a sense of rumbling echoed throughout the formed pools of blood, the dead creatures strangely gaining life as they stood on the hind legs, their eyes hollow their torso's gouged out by something terrible as rivers of blood flowed from the large, gaping holes.
...
"What...?!"
The tone strangely hoarse and dead but the undeniable curiosity that placated the pools of tremendous blood.
Shuffling between the random thoughts that had fired through her mind, she turned her gaze downwards observing the tiny streams that flowed towards her like countless blood vessels reaching towards the heart, the source of it all.
"Do you think I will survive?"
The cataracts flowing violently as countless creatures began standing on their hind legs as more and more pools of blood were filled with creatures that stood solemnly facing Sashah with their quiet empty gazes.
A low rumble travelled throughout the powerful cataracts that contained tiny fish that flowed from within.
"Don't you remember what you did?"
Husky and terrible the voice sounded as the deadness and the accompanying hoarseness laced through the terrible words that were spoken.
Slowly raising her head, a shocked expression painted her features as she stared deeply towards the darkness that filled the terrifying cataracts that flowed ragefully towards the white marble floor. Countless creatures that faced Sashah quietly continued their profane duty from since they had arisen.
"It had to be done... they were going to kill me..."
Her voice no louder than a whisper but it was heard by the darkness that hidden within the cataract. More and more creatures rising on their hind legs, surrounding Sashah, their dead eyes solemnly observing their king as countless rivers of blood gushed from their torso's.
"So long as you remember what you did, you shall survive the coming times."
It had spoken as it began to spread towards the other great cataracts that veiled around the source of the current phenomenon. Countless dead creatures rising slowly and slowly as the surrounded Sashah whose expression was livid with countless memories that surged throughout her mind, her nails digging into her palms as streams of blood, flowed.
"You've killed, eaten, sacrificed, murdered, cut, maimed, terrorized, brutalized, conquered, gorged, feasted upon... countless atrocities, yet you remain. You will survive, you shall always survive just like it has always been..."
The darkness spoke as it swam through the terrifying great cataracts that had now contained strange human-like palms that rose and fell, seemingly bowing before the figure that began to tremble, terrible thoughts filling her mind with more and more creatures that slowly rose from the great pools of crimson blood, staring quietly towards Sashah.
The voice of the darkness sounding more and more excited as it had spoken, quietly swimming through the great cataracts of blood. The repugnant, abhorrent, disgusting smell of blood, rot and death filling the veiled room as Sashah continued trembling with crystalline streams of tears flowing from her bloodshot eyes.
"I.. will.. survive..."
She muttered as more and more dead creatures also muttered, their voices grating and profane as the fidgeted like their king,
"I.. will.. survive..."
Wiping her tears with a determined expression, she thanked the darkness that swam around her within the great cataracts of crimson blood, more and more creatures rising from the pools of blood that had now turned into something completely different. Seeing this, she dismissed her technique as she walked out of the veils of great cataracts, her eyes shining with a new resolve as the creatures quickly sank into the pools of blood that had formed them, the terrifying cataracts ceasing their great flow as they too and all their inhabitants disappeared as quickly as they had appeared leaving Sashah alone who was was towards the doors.
Exiting her room, she walked outside the ladies dorms, the giant full moon speckled with dark spots reigning supreme as the jewels of the night lay hidden from the brightness of the moon.
"Where are you going?"
A cold aloof voice beckoned from behind
