5 •Chapter Five: The Silhouette of Darkness•

"where..."

Darkness eats out Harley's body. Penetrating every single organ. Planting efficient viruses, it is silent but deadly. Even though Harley is unconscious, but he still can make out the things he hear.

"....Inject"

"Icor...."

"Track..."

"...Punish"

Harley wakes up on top of a mountain, no sign of his location. He then immediately stand up but his leg and body was filled with bruises and blood. But he ignored the pain and still manages to move and locate where he is. He walked about a mile until he passes out.

He wakes up in the middle of the night and saw a group of unavoidable creatures that almost ate whole of his body. Harley fought back with his magic but couldnt quite kill the creature.

"Ahh! Just die already!"

Harley nervously shouts

Rain started to pour and the creature fled. Harley feared that it may come back but with backup then Harley quickly fled and found another village but this time, it is filled with nice people, and treats him with great hospitality.

Harley wakes up in a Laboratory with bandages strapped in his arms and body. Every move Harley makes seem to hurt. He begins to hear voices

"Kill" "Walk in the darkest darkness"

"Even powerful than the almighty."

"The silhouette... of... DARKNESS"

"NO!"

Harley shouts

"I will not... let the darkness consume me!"

As he says that the nurse came inside his room

"Oh you're awake!"

Harley then says

"H-hi! thanks for medicating my bruises. I have been through a fight lately.. hehe.. Oh! by the way, The name's Harley nice to meet you"

"Oh Harley is it?... pretty sure someone mentioned that name before, do you happen to meet a boy named Harith?"

"Oh yea! he was the boy who fought that Arcata creature with me. Happen to see him?"

Harith stated happily

The nurse suddenly stopped and questioned

"Can you walk?"

Harley then replies

"Yeah"

The nurse replies with

"come with me... by the way my name is Lolita, im an elf if you havent noticed."

Lolita took Harley into another room with a patient in critical status.

"We saw him in the outskirts of the tribe, found him with the same bruises as you but worse. He had been injected by a virus. He is in a state of sleep right now, Im guessing that the virus was injected in his back spine and his frontal-lobe. We dont know what the virus does, but we saw some signs of its effectiveness.

That include... power beyond your body strength.

Im sorry for the news... but I will leave you two here.

"no..."

Harley unexpectedly says

He then walks out of the laboratory, leaving the tribe and moving inwards in the portal of the abyss. Gazing towards the infinite evil forces. One even tried to dragged him further down.

"consume..."

"dread...."

"sacri....fice..."

As moments passed by he stumbled upon a mirror, seeing himself but more red... pale... blood thirsty...
