Halloween Special - Abyss

Last day of the Halloween special, since the last one was short this one is longer. Its the start of the rewrite of a story I did before, really its just the parts of the previous story I want to keep. If you want to read more say so in the comments and I'll do so once Purple Moon is done.

Abyss

    There once was a village that was well established and untroubled by the issues of its country when a girl was born. The girl was like many other kids in the village, she ran around playing games and learning from others. But unlike other kids she had the potential to become a powerful light user and it had been decided that she would become the next village protector.

    When she was old enough to speak clearly and walk properly her village burned down and the girl was the sole survivor of it all. Government scientists passing through the area found her covered in soot and minor burns, sitting in the charred remains of her home. They took her to the secret lab that they worked at and she became a part of their experiments in magic.

    They were not planning to pick up more kids when they found her so, despite her potential in light magic; they suck her in the dark class which was always in need of more orphans. The dark class experiments were harsh and kids died easily. New kids were brought in often and old ones disappeared just as frequently. No one made friends so the kids retreated into themselves. The girl was no exception. By her third month there the girl had forgotten her own name.

    A couple months after the girl could no longer remember her own name, the scientists found rare sample of Darkness. It ate all light and killed any light class kid immediately. When they decided to try it on a Dark Class kid they picked the girl. To the girl it was like any other experiment: done in a white room on a table with straps in case they were needed with equipment and scientists. It wasn’t until they injected the girl with a piece of the sample, that things started to go wrong.

    Pain tore through her system in pulses until it synced with her heartbeat. Her vision blurred and the girl screamed. The sound of cracking filled her ears, which was the sound of her identity breaking. Her vitals stopped and her vision went black. That is when the girl came to visit me. I found her interesting since she survived an injection of my power.

    Lost in the darkness she didn't cry or call out for help. So I offered her the power that she had already been tainted with. She had been broken and didn't fully understand but she accepted anyway. She could never go back to who she was before but I helped her build an identity and once she could fully comprehend what I was offering, I told her the rule that all those under my care live by: consume or be consumed.

    Even knowing that she would be consumed one day she still accepted my offering. I told her the way back and she left. She is older now and remains unconsumed. But when she comes again I so believe it will be the last time.
