Rowan paused as he scrutinized his abysmal condition, he had severely underestimated the damage done to him, even though his bloodline had suppressed the curse, the effects were still apparent. According to the Primordial Record, he had been condemned by the goddess with the Flesh of Madness. He was at the edge of death at the moment. Frankly, he was used to situations like this, and he had been in worse positions before, it was just a matter of finding the knot to this particular problem and…-

Rowan was on his knees, while he accessed his body condition, his evolution had stopped his uncontrolled mutation. Yet, it had not ceased. He had been able to create a delicate balance inside his body. He was on a knifes edge, and his teeming vitality was working overtime to keep his body in balance. Nevertheless, he had never felt so weak. His body had kept his degeneration in check, but he had paid for it. It did not take long to realize that he would not be able to unleash his Serpents, as they…

These series of events happened in a tenth of a second: Rowan took one look at her and his eyes exploded, he grunted as his body was hurled backwards by a crushing force, and he began to disintegrate, his Ouroboros Serpent wrapped around him, creating a wall of flesh around him. But soon, the two of them roared in pain, as they slowly turned to ash. This also happened to the two other Serpents outside this place. The surroundings seemed to shimmer as if they were underwater, and black lightning…

The fireball's descent parted the darkness gushing out of the chest of the creature and sunk into its chest, where it disappeared, and then like the dawn of a new day, silver flames erupted from the creature. It came with so much force that the fire rose up well over three hundred feet. It was a pillar of flames that bore through the ceiling of the temple and drove Rowan back. The floor around the creature was depressed into a bowl, as the surrounding floor simply evaporated. The shriek from the…

Rowan did not know where his Rage stemmed from, but from the moment when those eyes opened, he had recognized himself, before it was crushed underneath by the darkness, it was like watching himself being killed all over again. Suddenly, he wanted… needed to kill this thing, who was making a mockery of his body and soul. His Serpents were forbidden from touching it, he would butcher it with his hands. He kicked the creature's arms open, exposing the chest as he lifted Envy. With one swift motion,…

This darkness was similar to the one he first encountered inside the Control Hub. No, this was worse because he was directly in front of its origin. The pulsating mass in front of him seemed to be one with darkness, and its presence had drained all light from the world. It was total darkness that was akin to black tar, it actively prohibited all light, leaving only a void, empty of all but… Evil! What else would you call darkness that seemed to glory in pain and despair? The screams that were…

Even the threat of his fading lifespan was easier to bear for at least he could see it, although he ended up misunderstanding the numbers, but at least he survived. But if he were to grasp something he could not properly comprehend, he would have to make sacrifices and push his mind to perform tasks he had never done before, he had to evolve to become a player as a pawn. So, he played the game. Ever played a role so well, you became the thing you played as? It was an important distinction to…

Rowan pointed Envy at the statue, "So, you are alive… but, it would not for long." The eyes of the goddess statue blazed like the sun, the shielding around the statue lost power after it had all been drained away, it released its last few flashes of light before disappearing and then the jaws of the Ouroboros Serpent closed around it with a resounding crash. The goddess statue exploded, and the top half flew in the air, her blazing eyes still gazing at Rowan with a mindless fury and wickedness that…

She stood up slowly as if she was a rusted robot going through a long forgotten motion, his perception wrapped around her body, and he could see the struggles she went through with every motion. Her single muscles on her body were straining against what was inside her, and he could not help because the field surrounding her seemed indestructible to his perception. Maeve had never given up, she continued fighting whatever was inside of her, Rowan thought that it was most likely whatever was inside her…

Absomet hummed merrily as she tore through the skies, "What does a girl have to do, to get into your life…la la la la I have tried everything, yet you won't make me your wife… la la la la Runnin' out of patience, so I'm coming for your life. la la la la Come on, baby, let's play at the edge of my knife… la la la la They say we're crazy, but we just love the strife… la la la la…."
