What was that last post? Lmao.
Fierdan ;) mm ;p (wtf omg why stop it, cutepups)
It's hot outside. I'm sweaty. Like, eww. I don't like the heat. :(
I started that last post around 10:30 and I had so much motivation. Now I don't.
So yeah, let's see what I'll do now.
---------------
[Uh.. some time after that last skit. yeah idk. I'm so tired. Oh and the setting starts in the freaking void. White void. Yes, I'm starting this one with creepy vibes as well.]
[There's a white void, which I just said. There are three boys sitting and facing forward. Their faces look.. blank. Suddenly, the boy on the left receives multiple gunshots. Then the boy in the middle is surrounded by a dark smoke, and he soon loses the ability to breathe. The boy on the right suddenly gets a sharp object lodged into his chest, and then the blade becomes visible again from just below the back of the boy's left shoulder.]
I can't br ea the. I must be drowning. I'm sinking further and further into ...
[On a bed, underneath the covers, a different boy sits up and pulls his knees to his chest. He starts sweating, and his heartrate increases. The room is in darkness.]
••••
[Somewhere else with another boy (one of the boys from the white void). The setting now is close to a school. The boy and a girl are alone.]
Girl: You are so naive. You're still full of *glares at the boy* innocence. It disgusts me.
Boy: *frowns at the girl* You ruined him. You broke his heart. Stay away from me and him, Admiral.
Admiral: He wasn't meant for me. He's too boring.
Boy: *getting a little angry* You took him away from me.
Admiral: *laughs coldly* Stop being so modest. Let people see your body. *grins* Show me it.
Boy: *pauses between each word to show emphasis* Leave, us, alone.
Admiral: Take your shirt off and kiss me. Hard.
Boy: *is disgusted with the girl* You're sick.
Admiral: You've got to be intimate with a girl some day. I can't believe you never had a girlfriend before. You must be lying, Duke.
Duke: I'm not lying. Now let me walk home.
Admiral: How can the Duke be someone who never.. who never... *never finishes her sentence, instead she touches a side of his face with her hand and pulls down on one of his longer hairs that aren't as so short as the others* You're so damn hot.
Duke: Stop it.
Admiral: And why would I do that? *drops her hand from his face, now she lowers it and leaves it in the center of his chest* I want you. You're so f*cking hot. *lowers her other hand and wraps it around a side of his waist* Touch me.
Duke: If I wanted a girlfriend, you would be my last choice. *grins* I'll never choose you.
Admiral: *lets go of Duke* Hear my words, Duke. One day we will kiss, and I'll leave you craving more.
Duke: You'll only leave a repulsive taste in my mouth. You're all artificial. Is there any part of you that's real? *begins to walk away before Admiral can answer*
Admiral: *laughs coldly* I could ask you the same thing, Duke. Your fears of closeness and intimacy will end. I'll set you free.
Duke: *takes one of his backpack's straps off one of his shoulders* It won't be you who will set me free.
Admiral: *frowns at Duke walking away* I will get that kiss.
Duke: *just raises his right arm to indicate "bye" without saying anything*
... madness.
[Duke wakes up in his bed. Since it's the middle of the night, his room is also completely dark. He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand. Then he climbs out of bed and heads for Fierdan's room.]
••••
[Right outside Fierdan's room.]
Duke: I have to...
Fierdan: *nods* I have to ask you something too.
Duke: *sighs and nods*
Fierdan: Is Soulless back?
Duke: Why do I keep having flashbacks from the bad times?
Fierdan: I've also been getting them. I keep replaying your death in my head.
Duke: So.. so have I. *pauses* I've started to wonder how it felt to be the one holding the sword.
Fierdan: *looks away from Duke* Ah, I--
[His words are suddenly cut off because someone approaches them. Fierdan loses his words. A very tall, strong-looking person with gray skin and big white eyes smiles at Fierdan and Duke. The person is Soulless, and they go behind the two to put their hands on their shoulders. One hand on Fierdan's; one hand on Duke's.]
Soulless: *smiles* You two are great entertainment. I love playing my games with you.
Duke: Games? What games?
Fierdan: *speaking softly* The dream we both had. Your death. Soulless caused us to both dream it.
Soulless: *smiles widely* Very good, Fierdan! You're a smart boy!
Duke: Why that day?
Fierdan: Don't you see? Soulless wants us to relive the different pains we both felt that day. Over and over again.
Duke: But why?
Fierdan: Soulless didn't want me to kill you. And they definitely didn't want me to take back the part of my soul from inside you. I broke their precious shell. And Duke, your body was their life source. I killed it, which in turn killed Soulless.
Soulless: Good, you remembered. I'm glad I don't have to repeat myself.
Duke: *looks at his feet, whispers* Darkness is where the demons play. Our darkest memories are only one of the games Soulless is playing with us, Fierdan. Our bad memories are just one game that Soulless is playing on the dark playground.
Soulless: Darkness is where the demons play? I like how that sounds.
Duke: And I'm not afraid of the dark.
Fierdan: I don't know how you came back here again, but you're not welcome here.
Soulless: I was wondering if you missed Admiral, Duke. Did you enjoy that dream I gave you?
Duke: *raises head, looks defiantly at Soulless* She said I was so damn f*cking hot. *glances at Fierdan from the corner of his eye*
Soulless: Well, she was lusting after you, after all.
Duke: Do you know why she called me that?
[Before Soulless has enough time to respond, Duke lets his orange flames cover his entire body. His orange fire wings shoot out from his shoulder blades. The wingspan is longer than what Fierdan remembers.]
Duke: It's because I'm made of fire. *kicks off into the air, leaving Soulless's face covered in the large orange flames*
Soulless: *is distracted, removes his grip on Fierdan*
Fierdan: *slips past Soulless, lets his black flames cover his body* I'm so f*cking sick of your games, you piece of sh*t. *copies what Duke did but with black fire*
Soulless: You two are just birds of flame. How weak could you possibly get, Fierdan?
Fierdan: *scoffs* Weak? You're sadly mistaken.
[Suddenly, a couple sharp knives are thrown and make their targets be in various parts of Soulless. Two end up in their white eyes.]
Duke: *is shocked, then has that sinister look in his eyes from the end of his time with Taurel* Goodnight, Soulless. *is about to do something violent to Soulless, but is stopped*
Fierdan: So it was you?
Duke: Who?
[A person who is around Ryen's age approaches them. The person throws the last knife, which lands in the center of Soulless's forehead. Duke and Fierdan lose their flames.]
Guy: Thought you needed assistance.
Fierdan: How did you come here?
Guy: I need to talk to Ryen.
Duke: Wait, who are you?
[Suddenly, the person and their knives leave. Soulless disappears a few seconds later.]
Fierdan: That was *pauses* a friend of Ryen's.
Duke: Who?
Fierdan: I thought you met them.
Duke: I don't remember.
Fierdan: *looks at Duke suspiciously* How can you not remember?
Duke: Am I supposed to?
[Ryen leaves his room and walks toward them.]
Ryen: To answer your question, Duke, yes.

I can't breathe. I must be drowning. I'm sinking further and further into madness.
Save me from myself. Prevent me from entering the gates of the damned. Who am I supposed to be, in your mind's eye?
Demons thrive in the dark. And in the darkness, all the demons come out to play.
I've become their paradise.
