[color=6ecff6][b][h3]Vittorio[/h3][/b][/color] [i][color=fff200]A dream of nightmares.[/color][/i] [b][color=6ecff6]"Darkness. The ever present looming darkness. How vast and unknown it may be to most, yet to someone like me. Vittorio. It is all I've known for two years." [/color][/b] Vittorio looked around but he was not in his bed, nor was he in his astral form. He looked at his hands which were illuminated now by a light. He approached it and there was a pool of water. Vittorio leaned down and got to his knees, he began to loom over the water to look at it. Seeing his own reflection in the water, the face he wore was the one he had while bedridden. Time had been cruel on him, but it was his own fault. He did not take enough care for his physical body, all that he now cared about which was left in the world was revenge. Justice. That was what he wanted most of all things. The reflection in the water began to flicker and the face began to twist and turn, causing glowing wicked eyes and a wide grin to spread across his reflection. Vittorio quickly got to his feet and looked away from the pool. [b][color=6ecff6]"No.. I will not become a monster! I will not harm those who had nothing to do with it! I did not mean to- It's because of Alto!" [/color][/b] He turned and saw shadowy figures around him, the first three approaching began to reveal their faces to him. They were Geon, Billy and Carus. [color=fdc68a]"Vitto, my man. What's wrong? Why haven't you joined us yet? What's taking you so long?"[/color] Geon leaned against Billy as he pointed to Vittorio with his other arm. [b][color=6ecff6]"Geon... I gave my word.. I would avenge all of you.. I cannot go back... I cannot go forwards... I need to end it all."[/color][/b] Another set of voices could be heard and two taller individuals stepped out of the dark. They were his parents. [color=fdc68a]"Vittorio my son, don't lose faith. You will make us proud. Keep working hard and don't give up."[/color] The voice of his father, which he had not heard for a long time. But he could remember it in his memories. [color=fdc68a]"We will always be here to support you. Me and your father. We love you."[/color] The comforting voice of his mother, whom like his father worked hard under the higher ups in the society. Those who had the power. Then there were those who did not have any power at all. [b][color=6ecff6]"I love you too... father... mother... that's why I will never give up. Ever."[/color][/b] He could hear the sound of his tears hitting the ground below him, the ground was in fact water. Each tear making a clinging sound and out of the shadows she stepped forth. Charlotte. The girl which he wanted to confess to. She alongside the others were the ones which brightened his days. [color=f49ac2]"What's the matter Vittorio? Wipe that gloomy look off your face this instant! You are not going to look gloomy like that while walking next to a lady are you?"[/color] Charlotte had smiled and closed her eyes, giving him a teasing look on her face followed by a giggle. The girl began to sing a beautiful song, which melody could still any beast or urge to fight. [i][color=f49ac2]"It's a melody, I hear in my memory... Can we be reborn in the wake of a storm, so that I can tell you the words of my heart? Do sing along, and may your tale live on." [/color][/i] [b][color=6ecff6]"Charlotte! I never had the chance to... I wanted to tell you.. I wanted to ask you... but..."[/color][/b] His words were cut short as a tall imposing figure stepped out of the darkness and consumed all the other figures. [color=ed1c24]"I took them all away. Gah hah hah. Because you were too weak! Alto led them to their death and you let it happen because of your weakness."[/color] The tall figure laughed, it's cruel laughter echoing all around. He could see the light gather around him, the rage seething. And out of the dark a light would appear, a false light a wicked light. Alto. [color=fff200]"Vittorio, you are such a fool. I do not care about what ants I have to step upon on my way to the top."[/color] Alto smirked. [b][color=6ecff6]"Charlotte, my heaven queen, cover me in all that which is true. This foolish boy, such a petty ploy. You will be dead to the world! Heaven queen, carry me away from all pain! All the same take me away! I am dead to the world!!!" [/color][/b] He flew forth and drove his tentacles of light into Alto, piercing his chest. His eyes stung and he grit his teeth as he gazed into Alto's eyes. Alto's face began to change to take on the shape of himself. Vittorio stepped back and the tentacle like wings removed itself from the body of his foe. [b][color=6ecff6]"Monster. You are a monster. I am a monster. You will kill them all. I will lead everyone to their dying day."[/color][/b] He noticed a couple of more shadows step forwards. [color=fff79a]"Murderer! You have broken the law!"[/color] The voice of Alexander would echo forwards, followed by the voice of Katherine. [color=f7976a]"Get out of the way monster! You don't belong with us!"[/color]. He held his head and looked at the others approaching. [color=8882be]"You sit idly by while someone defiles your dear ones. Such a wicked beast you are Vittorio."[/color] The arrogant voice of Galbrek would mock him. [b]"I will take good care of you Vittorio. Because I have to. Not because I want to. You are just a tool."[/b] Celestine would say reassuringly. [color=f7941d]"Vittorio, I cannot defeat Alto alone. Help me. Help me!"[/color] The voice of Gilliam would reach him. [color=f6989d]"Nooooo!"[/color] He could hear Bak screaming and then evil laughter as he saw Samoth standing over her body and stomping on her back. Then he saw something in the corner of his eye. It was Alto again, now he was holding unto something. [color=fff200]"What hope do you have to stop me. You cannot kill an ancient evil. You are not strong enough. You were never strong enough. You being here is a mistake!"[/color] Alto's shape changed into that of the monster who killed all dear to him. [b][color=6ecff6]"You are both the same! Hiding behind masks of dark and light! I... am not like you at all! I will... I will defeat you. This time for certain! With divine providence!"[/color][/b] [b][color=6ecff6]"Mother! Father! Charlotte! Geon! Everyone! Give me the power! Haaaaaaaaaaaah!"[/color][/b] He could feel the watery surface under him vibrating and begin to break until it finally shattered. Darkness. Then light. A blurred view. He was awake. Back in his grave. Where his caretaker was the first thing he saw, alongside a woman with an odd look about her and a missing arm. [b][color=6ecff6]"Charlotte..."[/color][/b] Vittorio spoke in a hushed tone to himself more than anyone else. [i][color=6ecff6]What am I doing? Something had... William. Necromancer. My dear ones![/color][/i] Vittorio's eyes flung full open and he grasped the bed before he let out a scream. [b][color=6ecff6]"Wil- Where the hell is William!?"[/color][/b] He screamed out in a rough and loud voice, it could also be heard that something in his throat must have taken abit of damage from his loud yell as he coughed after. He grit his teeth. He was angry beyond containment. It was anger. Revenge. Justice which powered him. He slid his legs to the side of the bed and grabbed one of the metal bars holding up some life sustaining vitamins in water for him, using it as a makeshift cane, he pushed himself off the bed with a pained expression and on unsteady steps moved over in his white hospital gown towards Celestine. He had wrinkles inbetween his eyes and his eyebrows were twitching. [b][color=6ecff6]"Where... is... he?"[/color][/b]
