Darkness, back in an infinite void of black. I'm walking in a straight path. Looking around. Not knowing what's happening. Wondering how I'm back here.
Each step in the fog makes my feet feel cold. Like it's in ice, but then I'm able to take another step. My feet linger over the top of the fog. Then dropping, to give my other foot a place in front of the other.
The only thing that is different is the fact that there is no flame anymore. Instead a singular faint, red object that I have been going towards and the fog that's being emitted from the farthest ends of the darkness.
'If that is light it must mean an exit, right?'
That was the first and only thought that I had before I started on this path towards the red light.
It has taken about ten minutes. It feels like the path I took is almost infinite. Walking in this straight path. Shakes me up a little, but I stay determined because where else can I go.
Sounds, the closer I gets to the faint red light the louder the sound gets. A snarling sound and roars. That of a monster in pain. Or Agony. He also see, the sillouhette of two different people. Standing around the red light. The darkness seems to have taken the color of their face and features away.
Slowly I close in towards the red light. The fog lessens here the light scaring it off, it seems. Slowly, the red light is no longer is a red light. More of looking through an orb of some sort. That shows the area I was just at. Making me question even more what's happening.
I look myself up and down, my body is also a dark silhouette, standing around the orb. The thing I'm looking into is, my vision. I'm looking out through my eyes.
~~~
The monster staring Keith down. It's eyes filled with yellow rage. It's canines now showing from its snout. Trying to intimidate Keith. Saliva, coming from the side of its lips. The monsters whole body shaking in rage. His face whole be red if not for the massive amount of fur on his face.
Keith's eyes can just barely be seen through the mask. His red eyes don't move from the yellow eyed Monster. His breathe calm as well. The armor pulsating red from the middle of the chest out. Faint vibration with each pulse. The spear now has a string attached from his arm to the tip of it.
"You are dying here and NOW."
His breathe smelling horrid. It could be smelt through the mask. That doesn't faze him Keith. His breathe stays calm, holding the spear in a steady grip. Not shaking nor moving.
"No."
His voice is different as well. It's jumbled with multiple voices. Just like the pole before disappearing into the body of Keith.
The wind blowing on the grass. The near graceful movement of it. Would be beautiful in this opening if not for the chunks that used to be bloody, The Monster standing in the middle, along with the man covered in armor of red.
The woman stands on a branch, stiff and strong. Watching the two of them. Observing who the winner of this battle will be. The tree, a distance away from where the action will take place. Further deep into the woods.
In the woods is a rabbit. A sole, lone rabbit. White, furry ears, cute. Watching the two standing, glaring at each other. Eyes ready for any moment the other moves. Soon it starts hopping.
Now fully uninterested in the two. One hop, two hops, three hops. On the fourth it jumped onto a branch breaking it in the process.
Pride throws his claws from his hip under toward the jaw of Keith. Keith deflected it with his spear guiding it around turning Pride.
Pride does a full spin, locking his leg into the ground then blasting forward. Mouth wide open, ready to bite at him.
Keith flips back out the range of the bite. Right after he throws the spear straight toward Pride. Nearly stabbing him in the chest.
Pride grabs the spear right before it stabs into his chest. The claw covering the front part of the hilt, along with the tip of the spear.
Pride yanks the spear. Keith almost goes flying when it gets yanked. Pride looks at the spear and the line connecting it to the armor Keith is wearing. A grin almost visibly seen on the snout of the Monster.
Keith expression doesn't change though he stays unfazed. Pride yanks once, Keith's feet stay planted into the ground. Not letting him move. It yanks again, this time harder then before. Pulling Keith in toward him. Feet off the ground getting close to him.
Keith reaching down toward the floor, with the foot that previously had a wound almost fully across his calf. Pushes off the ground jumping over Pride completely.
The spear turns into a different weapon now. The pole of the pole starts thinning. Small enough that the rope is holding the spearhead and its dangling in the hands of Pride.
Now above Pride, he start spinning in the air. Wrapping the wire around him self at a great speed. Pride hand in the air ready to grab him. With the other hand not holding the wire.
Soon the wire wraps completely around Keith. Cutting the fingers of Pride. As the spearhead flys straight through the hand of Pride. Cutting his pinky clean off, leaving a wound deep into the fingers of Pride.
His other hand fully connected to the armor of Keith. Grabbing him, Pride slams him down hard enough to leave a small crater in the ground and scare away what ever creatures was in the area.
The wire being held in Keith's hand. Wrapped around his body holding him in a tight bond except for his free hand that was holding the wire. The wire get absorbed quickly into the armor, the wire in his hand as well.
The Monster finger healed, within a span of twelve seconds. He's healing faster. Pride clamps his hands together and stands over Keith as he lays in the crater. He throws his hands down onto The armor that Keith is wearing.
Rolling over to the side of his body, laying on his left arm, right arm pull as far out to hold his position, Keith just barely dodging the hit. In his right hand Keith Materialized a red katana, the armor on his back disappeared then starts slowly rebuilding again.
Pride see the hole in his back. He takes the chance, throwing his claws toward the weak point of his armor. Keith sees he's distracted as well. Quickly, Keith spins around cutting in the direction of Prides neck.
Pride sees Keith sword in his peripheral vision. He to late to react, he instead throws his claws toward the sword. The sound of the sword and the claw makes a loud clanking noise that resonates around the clearing. Leaving both the sword and the claw shaking intensely.
Keith recovers first. The sword fall back into the red armor. Keith falls onto his back. Planting his hand into the ground for grip. Prides hand just now stops shaking. He notices what's happening. Keith has his feet to Prides face. He pushes off the ground with his arms. The kick lands square on the snout of Pride. Pushing Pride off of Keith and making him takes multiple steps back, till he gets back on balance.
Keith spins himself with his arms. Turning himself, with a handstand to face Pride. Blood coming out the snout. Bearing his fangs, his canines grew even more. Now they aren't in the usual place the are growing from the middle back now instead of just one tooth.
Keith stands again this time with a rope dart. Swinging it. Keith turns his neck side to side, cracking his neck each time he turns. He lets out a laugh. A loud maniacal laugh. One of pure euphoria.
"I'm not died yet… Don't break your promise now!"
He looks up and down his body the only thing that even looks like something happened here is the armor with the claw mark, that slowly repairing itself and the crater that is about fifteen feet in diameter.
Pride lunges, so fast that Keith can't react in time. Pride kicks his abdomen. Making him go flying straight into a tree in the further end of the clearing. Keith drops down to his ass.
Pride rushes toward him again. Claws first this time. Running like a madman. Pride jumps and nearly drops down onto Keith.
Keith throws the Spearhead of the rope dart into the air on his right. Quickly dodging left. Making Pride dig his claws on his left hand, deep into the tree. Struggling to pull it out. The spearhead drops on the opposite side of Prides left arm. Making the rope circle his arm.
Keith pulls hard. Cutting his arm deep. This time Keith drops the Rope Dart. Materializing a red katana once again out the armor of his hand, the armor covering his slowly start rebuilding itself. Quickly Keith, lifts his arms with the katana. In a quick and graceful motion he try's to cut the head of the monster.
Pride moves his head back and his body as well. The sword still connects with his arm, that's stuck inside the tree, cutting it clean off. Letting blood flow out before it suddenly stops and start rebuilding itself.
Keith repositions himself again, now standing in front of Pride, ready for a follow up attack. Aiming for his head. Quickly Keith, slashes from his hip to the mouth of the kneeling Pride.
Pride opens his jaw showing off his horrible sharp teeth. Biting down hard, Pride stops the sword in his jaw.
Keith, doesn't seems fazed at all as he does another follow up attack. Materializing the red spear, out of the armor of his upper right knee. Pride still, on his knee in front of Keith.
Keith raises the spear high as he can. Pride try's jumping backwards but it's to late. The tip of his snout gets stabbed. Digging straight through his snout into the ground trapping him.
Keith's armor has been slowly healing overtime. His knee armor almost fully healed and his and his arm has fully healed.
Pride tries to grab Keith but out of the right arm he makes a red shield, wide enough so that the claws do overlap and still grab hold of him. Making it pass his fist to his elbow. Blocking his face, it's almost like the red metal mask blocking his face.
The claw clanks hard against the shield. Numbing Prides arm, weakly. Pride tries to counteract again but this time Keith dodges right, to the arm that isn't cut off.. His other arm has been halfway healed already.
The shield stuck to the top of his arm, Keith shield changes form. The area where his fist are become pointed. From his elbow down it starts to become narrow. The shield is now sharp at the fist area and the elbow only wide enough to block a basketball.
Keith throws a punch with the metal point of the shield. Making another small cut into his fur. Only deep enough to show a little blood.
That doesn't discourage him. He throws his fist again harder. The monster puts his claw in front to block it. That's useless. Keith rams his fist as hard as he can down.
The fur on his hand are more shallow. Showing just enough to see his skin under it. Keith sees the skin and hits it. Blood splatters and some land on his red armor absorbing it. The shield grows a different shade of red again. This time a lighter red, instead of a darker one. The color brighter staying more stuck on the shield than moving off and onto the armor.
Keith hits the hand again. Blood splatter onto him again this time on his shin. The armor absorbs it again. Pride stays steady holding his arm up. Keith catches from the very bottom of his peripheral vision. Pride trying to pull the spear out of the ground with the now healed arm.
The katana in the mouth of Pride disappears, turning into almost liquid as it fall out his mout. The katana now reappears in Keith's left hand, once again making the armor on his left hand disappear. Prides hand stops him from seeing the katana in Keith's hand.
Keith bringing it from high above his body. Making him cut off the Claws of Prides hand, the strength and speed of the Katana made him spin. In another motion, Keith spins in a full 360, making him get even more speed as he jams the katana deep into the eyes of Pride. Stopping him from seeing.
Pride tries to grab the sword with his freshly cut finger. The hand looks like it grabs at something but there is nothing for nonexistent fingers to grab.
Keith makes the rope spear out of his armor. Making the rope from his eye. Down his armor. The spearhead made from his eye, and the rope is made from the arms as it makes a line straight to the spearhead.
Dropping his body onto the snout of Pride. Making him drive his snout deep into the spear and further down. Keith ties the dart spear around the snout of Pride. Making it difficult to start biting.
Prides claw now fully healed grab the katana out of his eyes and tries to stab me. Telling my location from the fact I'm on top of his snout.
The sword disappears into Keith's body as soon as it makes contact with the metal.
Pride pushes off Keith and kneels down. Grabbing the rope spear with his claw and yanking it off.
Prides eye heals. He staring at a man not covered in blood. No injuries. Not even out of breath. His eyes, his eyes no longer piss him off. It scares him. His mask slowly healing hiding the red eye before it slowly covers his face completely. That.. that has cemented the fear that fall into the yellow eyed being.
He has been fighting him and never once did Keith ever not take the opportunity to counter attack. He wasn't even fazed when the vibration of my claws and the metal made contact. His weapons. He's making them out of thin air. His armor his protected him every time.
Prides body shifts. From his tall furry Monster to that of a man the elegant man that's wearing his incredible clothes. His mouth having a hole in the top and bottom lip slowly healing.
"I yield…"
Prides head held low. Slowly his head starts to increase in size. No fur, no nothing. His head just grows bigger and redder.
"Help!"
His face growing purple, a little, like he's running out of breathe. Pride tries gripping his neck for air. Slowly and slowly. His head grows.
Then it stops his head grew to a size dog it stop. His head around the size of my arms length and diameter.
"Beware of Wra…"
Before he can get the full sentence out, his head gets ripped in from the top. Splitting in the middle down from his forehead, to his nose, down to his chin, his body, same as before.
Something even worse looking than the form of The Monster, now dead ever looked.
