[David Lance POV]
As I ran through the forest, I continued taunting Trigon to ensure he would follow .
With each charge on his part, I would dodge, sidestepping him effortlessly, causing him to stumble forward from the montum more than once.
"What's wrong? Can't hit ?" I taunted him again as I ran in the opposite direction, leading Trigon away from the forest in the direction I hoped I would find a new scene.
"Is that all you can do? Run through the endless forest?" Trigon demanded angrily, his steps faltering for a mont as if he was debating on whether or not to continue following .
"Why not?" I called back over my shoulder with a shrug. "If I am to be stuck with you in my mind, I might as well enjoy the mont. I an, our fight so far has been pretty boring, sleep-inducing even, so yeah."
"Damn you!" Trigon roared, picking up speed as he chased after .
He's mad. Well, that was surprisingly easy to accomplish; I'm honestly starting to think he's actually just playing along with my gas, but I won't focus on that now; I need to test the limits of this stage and see if a physical escape is possible; I will have ti to contemplate Trigon's actions later.
Running at full speed, I zig-zagged through the trees, hearing Trigon's angry breaths as he followed close behind . After a few minutes of leading Trigon on a rry chase, I found sothing odd; a large tree with a hollowed-out center.
Lights ca from the tree as if it was so sort of portal.
This could be my way out.
But what if it's a trap?
Honestly, I didn't have ti to think about that; and seeing I was stuck in a loop, perhaps it was best to simply act without thinking which would fit what I was going for, which was to break out of my character.
This was a long shot, and I had no guarantees following this path would work. However, I needed to test this theory out before he caught up to . With a deep breath, I leaped into the tree, not knowing where I would end up.
As I passed through the tree, I felt a sudden jolt of energy as I rolled out of the hollowed tree into the sa old forest, but this ti a scene was playing out in front of . A teenager fighting a shadow, no... a demon.
I quickly scrambled to my feet, my eyes wide as I stared at the scene in front of . I knew who this teen was; it was years ago, fighting one of Trigon's followers and my first demon. This was also the day Raven and I first fought together.
I rember that now.
But why am I seeing this?
Before I could ponder on that thought, the scene changed, and I found myself in another part of the forest. This ti it was dayti, and I was surrounded by what looked like small animals; Bunnies, squirrels, and deers; they all seed unafraid of .
In fact, they seed to be intrigued by my presence.
"Still in the forest, but now it is dayti. I guess that's progress," I muttered, looking at the critters around . Not only that, but Trigon is nowhere to be seen. Perhaps this was part of his machinations, though I highly doubted he would use cute animals in any shape and form.
A hand touched my shoulder from behind, causing to jump forward as I readied for battle.
"What are you doing here?" A familiar voice asked as I turned to face Raven. "You're not supposed to be here."
"Raven?" I asked, relieved to see a friendly face but confused as to why she was here, to begin with. Perhaps she was an interactive mory of sorts, God; I really hated this dream narrative I was being forced to play; nothing made sense.
"Raven?" Raven tilted her head. "So that's who you see when you see . I honestly thought it would've been your sister."
I frowned at that. If she wasn't Raven, then why was I seeing her as such? I know I don't rember much, but I would never forget Rae Rae, not in a million years.
Perhaps it was Trigon playing with my emotions by using his daughter's form. However, it felt off for his general character. In the short amount of ti we have interacted, I have gotten a decent grasp of his personality, and he's an old kind of villain that enjoyed straightforward thods.
Using Raven's form was one too many steps for him, and was without counting the beautiful setting I was in right now.
The girl in front of let out a sigh as she closed her eyes before opening them again. When she did, her entire appearance changed. She went from looking like Raven to a different person, one that, while it shared many similarities with Raven, it wasn't the sa.
Now, in front of , stood a pale goth girl dressed in casual clothes, a black top, and an old pair of jeans. Around her neck, there was a silver ankh hanging on a silver chain, matching the eye of Horus around her right eye.
"I honestly got nothing," I said, looking at her. "If you're Trigon, and your intention was to confuse , it worked. I... I don't know what to do with this... at all."
"Trigon, am I really that ugly?" The girl said with an amused chuckle.
Ok, she's not Trigon.
"No, of course not," I shook my head. "You're beautiful."
The girl smiled at that before she sobered up, looking at with a kind and calm expression. "Beautiful? Careful there; Raven might get jealous."
I blinked. Were Raven and I dating? Was that one of the mories I was missing? No, that... wouldn't happen, or would it? She was my best friend, so perhaps at so point, we connected on a deeper level.
"Though I suppose it was to be expected on so level, seeing who you like and how I look, I guess you could say you have a type," The girl continued, interrupting my thoughts.
...
Did she really say I have a thing for Goth girls?
"I won't dignify that with an answer," I replied, crossing my arms.
The girl smiled before her expression changed to one of a more serious deanor. "You have amnesia, don't you?"
"Who are you?" I asked.
"Hmm, I'm just . You could say I'm just like any human, I've got a job to do, and I do it... When the first living thing existed, I was there. Waiting, and when the last living thing dies, my job will be finished. That day I reckon I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind when I leave," The girl replied with a serene smile.
"You're Death," I replied.
Death smiled as she nodded. "I am. A pleasure to et you."
