Escape & Dark Light

Strength filled Isaac's body.

His muscles bulged.

The world seemed static for a moment deep silence engulfed the sea.

Then the world screamed.

The water was violently torn apart.

Then a loud sound vibrated through the water.

The tentacle that wrapped around him wiggled away.

Isaac's attack was destructive.

Though he could not see the damage he had done to the tentacle there was a clear bruise manifesting.

Yet Isaac didn't come out unscathed.

His hand which he used to attack the twisted tentacle had exploded.

Shards of bone and streams of blood flow from it.

Isaac winced from the pain.

Yeah, the pain is what held him down.

Sensing the tentacles slowly drifting away, he began to immediately pump his legs forward.

His body shot through the water like a missile slowly reaching the surface.

Then a large explosion happened as the surface of the black ink-like water exploded out.

A figure slowly lands on the small island of stone.

Isaac got up the strength slowly being zapped from his body.

His muscles were extremely strained due to him being underwater.

He had to use more force to cause damage to the tentacle.

But since the tentacled creature was of a higher rank, the backlash from the blow was tremendous.

Greeting his teeth, Isaac slowly began to move towards the middle of the island where three people looked at him in awe.

A small smile slowly manifested on Isaac's lips.

"Not bad, huh?".

As the words escaped his lips, he slowly felt his consciousness receding.

Losing balance to begin to fold towards the stone floor.

Yeah, before he lost consciousness completely saw Sunny, Nephis, and Cassie running towards him.

Yet, no matter how much he tried to look, he couldn't find somebody.

And in the back of his mind, he knew why.

Electra died.

Darkness...

Complete and utter darkness.

Within the otherworldly blackness, a spark could be seen.

A spark of thought.

A spark of desire.

A spark of life.

A spark of direction.

Multiple sparks then began to appear.

Each flows in a mysterious orbit.

They never touched colliding with each other.

As if to rebel against the world two sparks finally collided.

They exploded, causing a reign of miniature sparks to collide with the world of darkness.

The utterly black world was no longer black.

The sparks seem to ignite something.

Small embers began to manifest upon the utterly dark world.

Then, as if to follow their example, other sparks began to collide with each other, creating more miniature sparks.

Those miniature sparks rain down upon the black world that was filled with embers.

Embers of thought.

Embers of desire.

Embers of life.

Embers of direction.

As the embers grew slowly, but surely something ignited within the black world.

A large and terrifying flame.

A flame that grew boundlessly without end encroaching upon the blackness bringing forth light.

From the deep darkness of figure walked out.

The alien figure that would drive anyone mad just by gazing upon it slowly, began to change.

The physical body began to slowly gain humanoid characteristics.

Its multitudes of repulsive limbs, slowly change, merging into a singular form.

That form then expanded gaining five distinct parts.

One part appeared at the top it had a pale smooth elastic-like substance upon it.

In the middle, something protruded.

Under it were two holes that seemed to inhale something that should've been there.

Yet was distinctly absent from the dark world.

Under it, something was there able to open and close like a mouth yeah unlike its previous form had multiple this form only had one.

Something then protruded from the sides and for the first time, it heard crackling noises.

Its mind was full of confusion and puzzlement.

It could not comprehend this hearing this feeling.

The thin hairs protruded from the top of its once bald head.

Each strand was so dark it seemed to fight off the light given by the fire.

A bit under its forehead two things opened up.

They were eyes and eyes had a set of eyelashes.

Its eyes were so dark that black could not even describe it.

Under its head yet, not too far on both sides two things exuded from the midsection growing and gaining five limbs.

Then, from the bottom, the same thing happened yet it was different.

The limb was much more narrow, yet still holding five ending tips.

As a second passed the figure grew closer to the flame and became more and more humanoid.

Yet, as it reached a certain distance towards the flame, its features began to change.

Its long hair is short and slightly reaching towards its shoulders.

It was no longer the deep dark color that once was and it held a golden color in its roots.

This golden color was the same as the mysterious flame.

Its eyes which were once pools of boundless darkness were now pure gold in color.

Its eyes which were once filled with endless madness and insanity now gained a hint of rationality.

The look of confusion and puzzlement was slowly replaced with an innocent child-like smile.

The terrifying abominations that stemmed from the endless darkness now taken the form of a child.

It looked at the golden flame with a hint of recognition.

Yet, the black world around it immediately twisted uncontrollably.

To the world of pure blackness, the flame of golden light felt like corruption.

It was something opposite of itself.

To the world of blackness, it was wrong.

The childlike figure looked back upon its once, fellow abominations.

It opened its mouth as a child-like voice rang out.

Yet it's please was not heard.

The dark world immediately launched towards the golden flame.

The child-like figure was far too weak to fight off the world of darkness.

At least that's what it thought.

The childlike figure was weakest in the world of darkness.

Yet it outstretched its hands.

Then a strong desire ignited within it.
