* LP Lost On You - Elk Road Remix *
In an abandoned warehouse in the port of Torinto city, an intense malevolent aura plagued the air.
"Why?" A feminine voice asked while looking at the young teen standing in front of her. "Why couldn't you just let have my rest?" Her voice was cold and emotionless, yet tears of dense dark blood ran down her eyes.
"Who are you to take away the sole freedom this cruel world has left with? Who are you to wake up from my death?!!" She scread the last words, yet the boy seed just as phased as a machine could be; he was not phased in the slightest.
The girl had short yet blindingly dark locks that contrasted strongly with her sickly white pale skin.
"My na is Ian," Ian said planely, with his hands inside his hoodie's pockets, his bright orange irises almost glowing in the darkness. "Why did I prevent your death you ask? The straight forward answer would be that I did not…"
Looking at the kid in front of her, her rage started to reach high up past its limits. "You dare lie to my face?" At that, deadly dark energy erupted out of her body, corrupting and destroying literally anything and everything in its way.
The warehouse wasn't ant to withstand such foul aura, and as such, it was instantly turned into black liquid that evaporated shortly after. Ian was unscathed.
Darkness seed to take shape and wrap itself around the girl's previously naked body while lifting her up in the air.
"My Lady, the kid tells the truth!" A stranger materialised near Ian in a kneeling position and spoke in a masculine voice that sohow managed to sound excited, yet calm.
He was wearing an elegantly bright white suit with a matching fedora that had a black stripe running around its center.
The stranger didn't seem to be affected by the deadly aura around him either. On the contrary, he looked ecstatic while staring at the girl that was now wrapped in a fine yet extraordinary dark dress.
Looking down at the two of them, she swiped her hand horizontally across the empty atmosphere.
The man flinched for a second but held his ground and didn't attempt to defend himself. Ian just kept his hands in his pockets while looking at her with the sa emotionless, and almost bored, expression.
However, contradictory to what the man had thought, the girl didn't an for that display to be an attack.
After her swipe, darkness had condensed itself into a short dagger that floated in the air in front of her.
Grabbing the dagger with both hands, the girl cut her own throat, or rather, attempted to. She didn't even scream, nor was she afraid, she wanted to die, but alas things don't always go as planned.
Instead of red blood, dark liquid sprayed out her exposed arteries, seconds before they were all glued back together by so unnatural phenona.
"Why won't you leT DIE!!!?" she yelled while continuously stabbing herself. The heart, the head, the throat... nothing seed to work.
After stabbing herself for about ten minutes straight and realising she wouldn't die, her aura beca even denser and harder to withstand.
The man was already panting in the ground while coughing blood. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO ???!!" she yelled while condensing massive amounts of her malevolent aura into a sphere of utter darkness.
Throwing the ball at the two in front of her, she watched as the sphere exploded and released massive amounts of black liquid that seed to corrode the ground itself.
With the ball reaching the water of the port, it turned everything around it, including the sea water, into a black muddy substance while screams of agony could be heard from within.
Looking in front of her, the girl realised that the kid was left unscathed. No matter what she did, his emotionless expression didn't seem to disappear or even change in the slightest. Furthermore, his clothes weren't even touched by the black liquid sohow.
On the other hand, the man was screaming in agony as his skin was being corroded away, making space for the bones and internal organs to breath so plauged air.
However, monts later, and the man was back to normal. Except, he was panting and looked like he was about to faint. Yet, a smile was plastered across his face.
"Finally, to be able to witness your return, and for you to demonstrate your powers in front of … it is such a great honour, My Lady! I've been waiting for far so-"
"Shut up!" The girl in the black dress spoke and silence followed.
Looking around, she realised that she had destroyed a large portion of the port while ships started to sink. Even more, so weird creatures climbed up the water and sunken ships and started making their way towards the shore.
Watching their dark skinny limbs and scales, she understood that they have probably been the fish in the sea before.
Kneeling in front of her, the dark creatures radiated with an aura that was similar to hers. Twisting her face in disgust, she snapped her finger and rendered them all back to still liquid.
Descending down until she was just slightly above the dark puddles, she looked at the two in front of her.
"What are you? And why can't I die?" She now seed rather calm, compared to her previous tantrum.
"My Lady, you are the Empress of Darkness! You are the leader of this world! You are the absolute-"
"Shut up-" she said while slamming a mass of dark liquid down on his body that was instantly turned into a pile of bones.
Monts later, dark matter started wrapping around the bones to create the flesh and white clothes again.
The girl didn't mind, but rather looked at the expressionless boy since he seed more reliable.
"What can you tell ?" She asked.
"My na is Ian, as I have already ntioned, and I can tell you that we've t before…" he said while looking her in the eyes.
"I can't tell you much about who I am in particular, but I can tell you that I'm here to help you.
"My mission was to wait for the archon to descend, in which after, I'll be responsible for serving them."
"And you think I am this archon? Is that why I can't die? Who decided that I have to be the archon?"
"At first, yes, I thought you were the archon," Ian said calmly, "but after witnessing this display, I have to make so further observations in order to decide…"
"Whatever." She simply said. "And when you say we t before… was that long enough that I can't rember?"
"No. However, being forgetful of your past self and life is largely related to the fact that you have gone through so…. processes," Ian said, "for example, I could tell you that last ti we t, you gave a strawberry ice-cream cone, but I'm pretty sure you can't even rember such a random fact."
Realising that she indeed didn't rember, the girl dismissed the matter with a shrug. "What do you an by so processes?"
"You have killed yourself a couple of tis now, but as you already know, you can't die easily." He answered with the sa expression. "Dying countless tis is ought to affect your mory. Let ask you this: do you rember why you want to die?"
Hearing that, the girl shook her head. She didn't know why. Even though she had such a strong urge to kill herself and abandoned her life, she didn't rember the reason…
"It doesn't matter," she said instead. "You just said that I can't die easily, does that an that there's a way for to die?"
"Uhm," he simply nodded. "get the strongest being on this planet to kill you."
"My Lady, your highness, please don't die, we-" the man tried to speak but he was quickly turned into a puddle of dark liquid.
"The strongest being? Who might that be?" She asked Ian. Not that she was curious, no. She just wanted to die, and it didn't matter how.
"I can't tell you that-"
"You little f*cker!" She yelled while lashing at him with her aura. But even though she had intended for her aura to penetrate his soul, nothing happened to him.
Realising that she can't scratch him, let alone kill him, she tried to play around it. "Let ask you this, if I was not the said archon or whatever, would you kill ?"
"No, I'd simply leave you alone," he said, which made the girl in black grit her teeth. "However, if you weren't the archon, I'd kill you if I was ordered to do so, by the real archon."
"I see," she smiled. "So the secret is finding the real archon and going against them. Ok then, who's the other archon candidate?"
"I can't tell you that either," he shook his head.
"What can you tell ?" She asked while clenching her fists. Due to her rage, her violent aura managed to evaporate the man in white again.
"I can tell you that the answers to all of your questions can be found once you learn of who you once were, back before you had killed yourself the very first ti."
"And let guess, that's sothing that I have to figure out on my own?" She asked with a snarl. But before he could answer, she continued, "or maybe, I can just destroy the planet? There's ought to be soone that's strong enough to kill , don't you think?" She smiled while her aura increased even further in intensity.
Ian shrugged since he couldn't care less. However, just as the girl was about to release her massive aura abruptly, a voice called out in her head.
The voice was soft, affectionate, and tender, but most importantly, it was familiar: "Lizzy, please… don't lose control!"
