44 8 Years of Hell... Well Purgatory (P4)

The pain is consuming me. It feels like I am being pulled in every direction and being crushed at the same time. The contradictions hurt my brain. As soon as I think I'm getting use to the pain... it changes. It rotates from Sharp and dull Throb, mind numbing itch, Crushing waves, then another I cant describe.

.

[Hades: KID, CAN YOU SEE THE MESSAGE!!!]

.

[Hades... It hurts. I'm not getting use to it. What can I do?]

.

[Hades: Silver bone is monitoring your body. It's perfectly fine on the outside but your insides... They are ripping eachother apart and healing due to your passive. Your body is fixing itself after each Destruction better then before. I've been trying to get your attention for 4 months...]

.

[I've been stuck like this for ONLY 4 months?!]

.

[Hades: ... for over 2 years. Your body couldnt handle Silver Bone or my summoning. She was able to monitor you and I could finally be safely summoned 4 months ago. It's good to see your messages.]

.

[2 years??? This was only ment to go for 1 year MAX. What the hell?!]

.

[Hades: I'm not sure. One minute I'm praying to Lord Chaos and the next thing I know, I'm unsummoned and your sitting next to the Gravity Horn with your body trying to RIP itself apart... Where is Iris?]

.

[Chaos took her. He said he would help her as much as he could. I am taking her pain as payment. He also took my Spear DKA and trashed me Heavy Sword. I need to Reforge it before I can use it. It might as well be a slab of rust as is...]

.

[Hades: That's easy. You could use the Gravity Horn. It would make great material for a Heavy Sword. But we are getting ahead of ourselves... Can you feel around you?]

.

[Hades... ALL I FEEL IS PAIN!!!]

.

[Hades: Well try to focus AROUND your pain. Iris did to train with you.]

.

... that was a well needed low blow. Iris was stuck in her egg for a month with this pain, then lived her entire life with it without complaining one bit. She even helped me train when she could.

.

[Thanks Hades. Dont bring Iris up ever again.]

.

[Hades: When you can feel your surroundings, let me know.]

.

[I'll try.]

.

<------>

.

It has taken about 6 months but I've managed to crush my full body pain into 1 breath taking area of misery. My left hand is the unlucky part. How did I push pain to a single area? No clue but I did.

.

[Hades! I need your help! Grab Hollow and Stab my Left hand into it! Make sure nothing is being stored in it.]

.

[Hades: ... Silver Bone, He has finally lost it. The idea of cutting his hand off to lessen the pain has finally come. Kid I wont help you cut your hand off.]

.

[... I'm NOT asking you to cut my arm off. I've got a better idea]

.

[Hades: ... cut your arm off?]

.

[NO!!]

.

[Hades: ... Your head?]

.

[... HELL NO!]

.

[Hades: ... I GOT IT!! Remove your useless flesh, Join the Master Race of Skeletons and Worship The Silver Bone Demonic Beauty Gaia!!]

.

[... What the ACTUAL FUCK!!?? HEAVEN TO THE NO!]

.

[Hades: Hey, watch your mouth... brain? No need to get nasty.]

.

My hand was screaming to my brain. I couldnt feel when Hades stabbed Hollow through it.

.

[Hades: Its done. Now what?]

.

[I refine Hollow with the pain. If my plan works... I'll be rid of this pain once and for all. Or at least some of it.]

.

With Hollow stabbed through my hand, I focused on trying to store the "Pain" in the Blade.

.

It didnt work. I guess the pain isnt tangible enough to store. What if I use magic? My Thunder Wing clip stores mana no problem... maybe if I mix magic into it?

.

[Gaia, Please pull up my Magical Affinities]

[Gaia: Understood User.]

Poison. If I can use my poison to mix with my pain and Refine Hollow with it... It would be awesome.

.

[I'm going to try to mix my Poison with my hain and infuse it into Hollow. When I say so, Pull Hollow out of my hand.]

.

Out of all my magics, I used Poison the least. I pulled on my poison magic from my gut. For some reason, I feel that all my magic comes from my stomach. I will my Poison to race along my left arm and pool in my hand where all my pain is. I pump more and more Poison magic into my hand...

.

[Hades: Hey kid... your left hand is turning green and growing in size...]

.

When it feels like my hand wont fit anymore magic, I started compressing my pain and Poison together.

.

[Hades: Kid... your hands now black... whatever your doing... HURY UP BEFORE YOU LOSE YOUR HAND!!]

.

Last chance I guess. I willed Hollow to store the newly formed Venom. Instantly, my hand went numb. I couldnt feel anything from my hand.

.

[Did I just lose my hand!!? There are 8 boobs it wont ever get to feel!!]

.

[Hades: Your hand is fine, I'm pulling Hollow out now.]

.

[Hades: ]

.

[What? Hades, you didnt write anything]

.

[Hades: WHAT DID YOU DO TO THAT KNIFE? IT ERODED MY ARM PULLING IT OUT OF YOUR HAND!]

.

[It destroyed your arm? Are you ok?]

.

[Hades: Yes just touching Hollow made my hand melt like it was in acid. As soon as it was out of your hand, I let it go. My arm will be fine, I'll use Dust to remake it. Hollow is eroding the floor as we speak...]

.

I dont hurt. My body doesnt hurt anymore. Not even a little bit. I still cant move though... but my head feels really clear.

.

[My pain is gone but I'm still locked in place. I'll pick Hollow up with my TK.]

.

I reach out for my now poisonous dagger with my mind. I feel Hollow changing. It feels like tiny vines are moving throughout the Blade.

.

I use Geomancy to feel my surroundings and notice I'm about 5 feet away from the gravity horn. I called my Heavy Sword out and launched it at the Horn.

.

My Heavy Sword turned into dust on contact.

.

...

.

[I'm an idiot]

.

[Gaia: Affirmative User]

.

[Hades: Yup.]

.

The Rust Dust of my Heavy Sword latched onto the horn while the handle flew to the top and sunk into the horn.

.

[Dafuk?]

.

[Hades: I think... it's working?]

.

Before I could rub on the fact that I'm a genius... my horns and bone dust explode from my body and go to the Gravity Horn. They sink into it like the Rust Dust did. I lost about a fourth of my stockpiled Dust but that's fine, I could FEEL my Heavy Sword within the horn eating said horn from the inside. At the rate it's going, My heavy Sword will take some time to finish being remade.

.

[Hades: Well... Time to resume your training. Our next focus... Magic]

.

[I hate you Hades.]
