As I see the star fly past me. All I can feel is my that my body is being torn apart.
Unable to move do to an unknown force against my very essence. I start to begin to notice that the grey scaled stars are beginning to turn bright.
As I'm being torn, I start to look down at myself.
Screaming, as it seems that is all my body, well what is left of it, can do. I decided to try and will my fragments back. The pieces of myself that are floating off in this galaxy, is flying past me at inconceivable speeds.
I start feel a burning sensation coming from my brain.
"Things"
begin to slow and I am flooded by colors.
So many colors.
It is like as if A kolideascope of colors, shining brightly from multiple prisms bursting into existence.
As I focus my mind, I notice that the prisms of colors are flowing into me. Filling my self with energy. It seems that the more I take, the sharper everything around me feels.
It is as if I have been there for decades? No, that is not quite it.
Centuries?
Yes, it has been dozens of Centuries, as I turn the light into new parts of me.
But I'm I even me, Jackson?
Yes my head starts to burns with the correct answers. I am jack, and I won't be erased!
"Good, I came to check on you. Out of everyone, you, you are my most favorite."
That voice! It's the damn being, pretending to be a reaper with the same name.
How could I have been so naive. The simple foolishness of believing the first thing I met. The hell, I probably didn't even die.
The fucker probably just 'Borrowed me' to make a deal. Heck. This is most likely just a dream. Ahh, what am I thinking.
However, the pain says otherwise.
"You know if your mind can hear me. I just want you to know that this isn't personal.
It's just habit.
Anyways, it seems like you are almost done 'cooking'.
Don't worry I'm not going to eat you.
That is more my like something my buddy Cuth's offspring would do. Then again Cthulhu doesn't keep track of much anymore, he justs send out fragments to scare, snack, or give madness by mostly eating ones sanity.
Doesn't even touch souls anymore, huh, so messy.
Anyways, I'm just ranting, here is a gift.
Wake up soon, I'll be waiting."
As he finishes, the voided entity reaches into its pocket and pulls out a seed. Scared I try to close the hole in my chest by absorbing my energy. My ears focus on it's voice.
Mumbling quietly "Ah, such rare and unique items like these are so hard to find. It's my last one, I hope this works, I'm investing so much into this. Into you. I won't go back to the void I need a champion."
A blade appears in his hand. I try not to lose focus. He cuts his hand with the seed. Barely winces. "I was worried when your soul started to 'dissipate'. Usually they don't survive the tearing. But you did. Even more than that. You even keep your mind didn't you, even listening now, right. Don't fail me now. Your almost their."
The glowing seed turns red and green. It's pulsating, even the entity takes a moment to gaze at the small seed feed with its very blood essence.
At that moment he drops it. It falls straight to my chest. Everything fade, the items slows. So slowly, my mind shakes and burns. As it is falling I should feels afraid, and most beings naturally would be afraid. Even I know I should be. But my mind, in all it's years of my existence. Gives me different information. A different hope.
War, games, life, I know my own 'level' you could say. I knew at that moment though. A single thought pressed itself so clearly. Clearer than any idea or rational thought could. I'm fucked, but that. That is a level up, a massive one at that.
It lands into my heart, and it seals. A new pain floods me. I start to feel like the Ship of theseus. Especially after all this bullshit.
Live or die. That is how it always is and like fucking hell I'm going to die after this.
The new energy given off by the seed is killing me, but I need it to.
I try to think of a way forward. I dive into my mind into all forms and movies, anime, tv series, fanfics, mythology. I don't give a shit how ridiculous. I tried everything.
From the experience of channeling the energy before. I use energy as new blood and try to flow it throughout my body and cycle it back into my new heart.
After what feels like decades, I hear a loud 'crack' and seed burst. But not out of me like a plant or a xenomorph alien like I was expecting.
Instead I feel the energy make a shell around me. Pulling from my mind any and all information. My desire, wants, and needs. All turning into a space of my own to utilize. A domain if you will.
Pure white. Then black again. It's my eyes, I can't open them. It either due to me or it's the shell finishing. I do not care, I'm tired and lose all awareness.
Zzzzzzzz...
Beep buzz, beep buzz, wake up. Wake up.
Aaaahhhh! what the?
