It was as if cold ink or tar was splattered all over her face and sludged down into her retinas. Despite the violation, it did not burn, did not sting. It was comfort, like a strange blanket that draped over her features and frame. The more she thought, the more it engulfed her until there was little more than the. Cold. Quiet. Blackness. Anything else was a distant sound to her, muffled and distorted and unable to reach her ears in the. Cold. Quiet. Blackness.

Her body felt bloated, enlarged and weighed down by heaviness that riled at her mind and seeped into her bones. Her stomach churned, organs meshing and convulsing on each other in a sea of. Cold. Quiet. Blackness. It became too much, too much, and it choked her, strangled her lungs. She hurled out the etched essence, a pitch-dark fluid in thick torrents streamed out from her mouth and hitting the ground with a horrendous hiss like acid. Then the liquid lurched up.

It defied gravity and splattered back to her face, back to her body, coating and melding overtop. Her body felt bloated yes, but this was new, this was unnerving. It stretched and pulled, muscle and sinew tore and regrew with bones expanding. The eyes she knew to be within her deepest desires stared back like a hollowed-out mask with unreadable intent and emotion. The world rumbled and the Abyss shuddered as something grew up high for all to see.

It smashed and wrecked the cavern that was once their escape, letting loose light to filter through completely and indicate their presence to the field of fog that was Death pursuing them. But death would come to them all soon enough. A horrendous animalistic roar tore through the air as the beast swiveled its head in a maddening fury. The rightful ruler outstretched its wings, and like an angel cast out of the gates of Heaven it loomed over the hellish world beneath it.

The black crowned ruler gazed upon its land and the [url=https://i.imgur.com/Z0EOGrE.jpg]dragon[/url] let loose another roar. In its wake the Abyssal walls shuddered and cracked. Death would come soon but for now, death would follow in the blackened dragon’s wake. The dark beast thrashed and lashed out, a pitch-black blotch in Akiko’s vision no matter what path she looked through, what timeline she peered into. All that she saw, was all that the dragon saw within the.

Cold. Quiet. Blackness.
