Before the Storm..

Hello.... It is I, the Shadow that lives within the Nameless One...

Who I am doesn't really matter, what I'm about to become is what counts. I am the One who dwells within the mind of the Nameless. I am the incarnation of all the desires of his Heart. If 'he' so wills it, I will even murder without remorse. My 'host' and I are two beings within one vessel, his thoughts are my own, his feelings are my own, his memories are my own, and soon, whatever name he gives himself will become my own!

However though, I don't know much about our past or how I even came into existence, but something deep down is telling me that 'One' of us wasn't always present within the body. Like if 'One' of us was fabricated due to a circumstance that happened in our long since forgotten past. I don't why but certain 'things' remained in our mind such as our language and even weird terms like, "Soul", "Gem", "Sentience", "Name", and of course one that I am continually reminded of for some reason, "Brother". I don't know where we learned such words, but they must be really important if they survived through the amnesia.

There's another thing that has been bothering me, and it's probably the most important thing. This weird Gem, just where did it come from and what is it exactly? I have the feeling that it hasn't always been there. It's like it was 'added' to us at some point in time? The Wavelength of Energy that operates in it is much different than anything else in our body. It's weird because I feel emotions emitting from it, sad emotions, depressing ones, and even angry ones! It feels like a "Maelstrom" of powerful emotions clashing together in a gigantic storm. The Maelstrom within the Gem is almost incapable of stability, I have been controlling it from within by manipulating the Wavelength to stir in one set direction instead of colliding into one another like it wants to. However, since I am about to take over the body for the first time, will the Maelstrom be alright? Or will it go berserk and probably kill us both? Well not much I can do if the Maelstrom goes haywire and destroys us.

Another thing bothering me is this 'Key to Sentience'...

It's a mystery to me but this Key seems to determine who operates the physical body. It looks like a Shadowy Dagger and gives off a strange aura. The 'Other Me' held this Dagger when he awakened from the Deep Abyss of the Mind. He held it until he 'gave' it back to me so recently. Now you're probably wondering how he even did that, it's simple really, I just had no time to explain it to him. It seems like the only way to 'give' this Key is by surrendering your own will unto the other consciousness. When the Other Me called for help, I saw the Key fall from Abyss above and landed straight into my hands. How did I know that would work you may ask? I didn't, I just had a peculiar feeling that would probably be the case. It seems like I don't have very much time left, it's switching us already. The Abyss around me is falling apart again and a new Light is shining through.

Soon I will have to fight, and when I do.... I will destroy everything. Every restraint on this body will be completely removed, and since I have become quite familiar with the Power in the Gem, I have thought of a few things to try once I get out there. I will show them this World what true power looks like, I will strike fear in the hearts of all that stand before me. I will decimate everything that breathes and I will uncover the mysteries that lie within the Maelstrom. Soon all will bear witness to the Advent of Dual Sentience!

Something tells me that a storm is about to hit the World, and they're not ready for it. It doesn't matter though, ready or not...

"Here comes the Storm...."
