****
Amon panted loudly, sitting upon the branch of a tree.
"Нааа... Наааа..... Нааа."
He had done it.
After a whole night of ruthlessly fighting and hiding like a feral beast, he had defeated the 150 Void Beasts.
His arms were covered in bandages that were stained crimson and his back was pitch black, a reminder of the burning sensation he had experienced.
His equipnt was totally battered, littered with cuts and slashes.
Blood trailed down his face from the nurous cuts that now ruined his features.
So of his hair was also burnt as a result of being captured in the void flas of so creatures.
But regardless of all the injuries, Amon sat completely motionless, his body not even wincing from the amount of pain.
All he showed were signs of exhaustion but except for that, there was no sign of hurt on his face.
It was because pain was sothing he had grown accustod to now.
Rather, all he felt in his body was numbness.
He couldn't feel anything.
Just a numbing sensation at every spot where he was hurt.
Pain....
It was just an epheral feeling for him now.
His stoic expression broke with a curl of his lips when a series of notifications appeared in his vision.
[Your [Void] elent has leveled up!]
He felt sothing change within his body.
As if it was being restructured and rebuilt into sothing new.
It started with a re warm sensation inside his chest.
But gradually, it started to grow hotter.
His breathing grew laborious.
"Haaaa....Haaaa....Haaaa"
His vision went from clear to a blur.
He clenched his chest as he felt the re warmth turn into a sensation of having molten lava being poured into you.
His whole body....
It was on fire...
Not just his body, but his soul as well....
His head started to throb with an unimaginable amount of pain.
His legs felt wobbly and jelly-like and he dropped from the branch where he was sitting.
The sound in his ears died down and his vision turned black.
He tried to keep his consciousness afloat but that proved to be a challenging task as he felt himself drowning into the bottomless abyss of pain.
He clenched his fists and tried to curl up his body but to his dismay, he couldn't feel anything anymore.
All he felt was a vicious lting feeling in his body.
This...
"Haaaa.....Haaaa....Haaaa!" Amon scread and wailed, pain surmounting any amount he had ever seen or experienced before.
His head felt like it was about to explode.
But....
He bore through.
If it was only pain....
He could handle it.
Bring it on.
He embraced the smoldering sensation that threatened to rip him apart.
All of a sudden, the heat exploded up to new levels as he felt a scorching ball of magma being forced into his soul.
He held through all the pain, keeping it in.
Not like he could scream or wail if he wanted to.
He had long lost his voice in this endless expanse of nothingness.
He was just a re drifting speck of nothingness that was being reford into sothing
new.
'I don't want to die...' Was all he could think of at that mont.
His sister and his life were the only two things that kept him hanging onto this re thought of bearing through the pain.
He kept repeating the sa thought every second to him.
Even as he felt his mind and mouth burn he didn't stop.
The pain continued for an endless amount of ti.
Amon had long lost count of how long it had been.
It might have been only a few seconds or an entire eternity. He might have died countless
tis over and over.
He didn't know.
All he kept in mind was the thought to survive.
And finally, after eons of pain for him, it ended.
The smoldering fla that ripped and stitched him disappeared into the nothingness in an
instant.
At that mont, he felt nothing.
Completely hollow.
Nothing existed for him inside the ever-stretching expanse.
He couldn't even feel his body or thoughts anymore.
He felt as if everything was being removed from him.
As if he was being a part of this space. This void.
He was slowly losing his thoughts and mories. His iden-
'Wake up!' A voice echoed.
From his thoughts or the expanse? He didn't know.
As he drifted further into losi-
'Stop losing yourself!' It echoed again.
It felt a little familiar this ti. Just a bit.
As if he had heard it sowhere before.
But not enough for him to linger on it further as his thoughts were cleared once more.
'Rember yourself *#$%!' The voice echoed again.
More loudly this ti.
And...
More familiar.
The end of the voice glitched out, echoing within him as a series of tones.
He couldn't help.
He didn't know what was happening or who it was.
His consciousness was slowly fadin-
'WAKE UP A*%N'
The voice rumbled within him, pulling his consciousness back.
More and more familiar.
And this ti....
Familial.
Was there soone related to him?
There was. He could rember them a little.
Their face appeared in his vision. In the black expanse.
It was a blur. A large blur.
But he could deduce it a little.
The relative. They were a female.
No...
Not relative.
More familial.
A family.
Mother?
The blur cleared a little, revealing so of her features.
The female...
Her features resembled a lot like him. They were also beautiful.
'YOU CAN DO IT AM*N' The voice resounded once more.
The glitched part was now becoming more clearer.
He could more or less make out the part.
But who was the voice calling out to?
Him?
Was that his na?
Ah, yes.
He rembered now. The pieces...
They all started joining together in his brain.
The person...
And the voice....
They were the sa.
And the one they were calling out to was him. They were making him rember who he was.
The blur cleared more at that mont, almost revealing all her features.
Yes. She wasn't his mother.
She was...
His sister...
His beloved sister.
The blur completely disappeared, revealing all her face-the face of his sister.
Katherine Ashford. That was the na of his sister.
And he was...
Her brother. Her younger brother.
His body started to form back in the void in the form of motes of light that joined together.
Yes. And his na was...
Amon Ashford.
'WAKE UP AMON!'
And at that precise mont, the expanse of nothingness around him started to crumble into
pieces.
