The Abyss Stares Back
Everyone knows the saying, "When you stare into the Abyss, The Abyss Stares Back." Many know about phenomena about Black Magic, Hauntings, Disappearances that have a Chill to it and if you search into it something sinister follows you.
My Question is, What is THE ABYSS? Is it another Dimension of Horrors? Or a Realm of Mystery that intersects ours on a regular basis? Or is it a Life Form of many Forms who is trapped in an In-Between State or was Banished from Our Realm because it didn't want to co-exist with new life and just wanted to eat and destroy and feed off of Fear?
Why do Black Holes never stop eating? Why do they Drift around and can be found in The Center of Every Galaxy? Why do they come in different sizes? What if a Black Hole was the size of a single Galaxy instead of just its center?
Would you be able to comprehend if you were told, That every Black Hole is a single Prison for Banished Deity's who have Fallen?
Most of you have read books about Soul Planes, how it's bigger on the inside depending on the strength of the individual. As well as if someone dies who has a strong Soul Plane they will leave a Monument of sorts like a Inheritance to any who can conquer it?
So what would be the difference between a Monument Soul Plane that leads to another world strictly designed by the Soul Strength of the being who was forced to leave it: VS: Black Holes that Leads Elsewhere of a Variety of different sizes and uses the energy from what it takes by force to keep itself together (similarly like a Mana source or core) Which it could also be just Holes that were Punctured by a Being on a different side of a Spectrum or Stuck In-between to try and escape or find new sources of energy consumption or escape.
On a planet why does the phrase, The Abyss Stares Back have such a horrific meaning that makes one feel Hunted?
Is the Abyss a Predator that makes you feel small and afraid just by the sight of it? Is making eye contact with such an Abyss Creature such taboo? Or does something Happen, when one meets their eyes?
**********
Darkness is like the Light, Once you get used to it, you cannot go without it. With Darkness as my Surroundings with small specks of Light dance and flicker in and out of existence as my prison spins amongst the vast ocean of creations.
What have I done wrong, you may ask. I made a System that got out of control and got lost amongst the Flow of Time that led to all the Parallel worlds already in Existence and going to be born Galaxies and worlds.
But....
I was not alone in making the Original!
I had my daughter...
Such a smol little thing... if only her mother wouldn't have turned me in before the testing phase was complete resulting in the System Fracturing into Many... many different size pieces. Because of her mother she became what she is now.... whenever now is outside of my stationary cell of purgatory... Those Children. Take away something that one can do in their sleep and they can do it Anywhere.
Looking at my large hands, imagining her small hands gripping my finger with all her might, always brings me back to my senses on why I stay in this dark place
Solitude!
Everyone thinks that is the best way to fix a variety of behavior issues.
It may drive one insane and they destroy themselves. They could just start rambling secrets to nothing as if someone was there until someone is and they wouldn't notice because they'll think that they are hallucinating and will give away anything to have someone to talk to. Then there are those who become nothing but just something that eats and sleeps and escapes into the Dream World which none can control... yet..
Then you have Me.
My Type of People in prison who will find things to craft or draw or think of ways to make things.... or make our own work out space so that way we never lose shape and strength.
Those Idiot Children, xD, didn't even take anything away from me since that incident that SHE Caused. I'm the one who picked up most of the pieces, which is my daughter... didn't eat. As I quickly hid them in my dimensional tattoo, that is located at the middle of my forehead in the shape of a dagger, before they broke in to arrest me and my dead wife. She was the one who betrayed me because it was too dangerous... if it was completed.
Those Children who call themselves the Counsel.... Are always taking What is Ancient Compared to themselves and claiming it as Theirs. They are to incompetent to Make anything themselves, so they Steal from Us Elders who can Actually Make Anything out of Nothing.
What was my wife thinking when I was only making One, if it was successful, then the others that were made afterwards would be under strict control of the First. I'm not stupid enough to give those damned Brats that kind of Power. But Attacking the Crystalized System as it was trying to evolve was Just Stupid of Her... She should have known better with how long we've been together, that you never mess with the Process of an Evolution of Anything or Anyone.
But the one thing that has never quelled my Rage was the fact that my Daughter, ATE THE MAIN FRAGMENTS OF THE FIRST SYSTEM! AND I CAN NOT FIND A TRACE OF HER LOCATION THROUGH THE SYSTEM LINK!!!!
To get my mind off of the distressing wave of emotion, I did what I have been doing to keep sane from Rage, Alter the remaining fragments into their own systems with the goal of raising hero's or species to the point of being reliable enough for my daughter whenever she surfaced.
Looking inside my Inventory Imprint that all Makers are born with. It can hold as many items, no matter the size or weight, as there are cells in our bodies.
Out of the 25 Larger fragments that are an Inch in size, I am now down to 3. Out of the 27 Million Smaller Tiny pieces of the Crystal System, I am now down to 5 Thousand. Which I think is a great amount of work done in the however long I've been in here.
With no warning, my Entire prison began to shake all around me. A Reptilian like Cat crawled towards me shifting into a fluffy Tiger who was walking on two legs.
"Master, It appears as if something has happened to the Lid that kept this prison in one place has been broken." he said as he bowed at the waist with one hand behind his back. Standing up to stretch the buff and lean Bipedal Tiger size didn't even reach past my waist.
Releasing the restraints I had put on my form, to hopefully make those Brats forget what I Originally looked like, I fully stretched as my size increased as well as Tigers to always be the size up to my waist. Stretching my Clawed Hands I look up at the faint Stars and start to climb the walls. Tiger jumped onto my back as I brought us closer to the exit.
While getting near the Entrance my system, I Had custom made to be like a Butler for me, started to go off.
"Perimeter Breached, Warning Unknown System Within Perimeter!"
I paused as hope filled my entire being.
"Do you wish to initiate a Link?"
Putting my head against the Fabric of the Hole I breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes"
"Initiating Link. Please hold..... Established their Host is unconscious... and is vastly approaching."
Jerking my head upwards I see a mass of metal and Red-orange eyes and one Blue set of eyes closing in pretty fast. Digging my clawed feet into the wall I'm on, I reach backwards and grab the wall behind me as I brace my shoulders against it as I ready for an Impact that may drag me back down.
"Initiate Abyssal Form!"
"Abyssal Form Selected. Warning Size too Large for such a Small Space. Only Able to Initiate 45%. Is this Acceptable?"
"YES!"
My claws dig in even further as I increase in size and become darker than dark itself making the Walls seem to be maroon in origin with how dark I became leaving no space for me to miss catching my Daughters Capsule.
I brace myself to where the walls of this tiny Hole began to crack under pressure. But they're not large enough for me to worry... yet.. As I watch the Eyes watching me.
