"let's burn this one also he is already a taken to just like the rest" said a man with messing hair and ugly teeth
"Already then tired him up at the poll and lit him up" said a man in black a long black coat and top hat who seems to be the leader.
And so they did, they tired up the taken before he lost control and burned him up in order to cleanse him from the corruption and make him rest in peace as that was the only way to properly kill a taken.
Then the young man screamed in pain and agony of being burnt alive but at that point it was too late for him at least that is how it seems to others.
Deep within his subconscious he was struggling with aether corruption of the cthu to resist it from completely taking over him.
Right at his subconscious he saw a brilliant green light filled with the feeling of corruption and madness trying to take over his mind and body though it has taken over it is yet to be in full control of a stubborn young man mind and body which irritates it.
Within the brilliant green light it begins to show it ugly nature as it has the face of an emaciated octopus with three eyes on at the left on at the middle the of at the right.
The head was large for its thin corpse-like body that radiates green light with two disproportionately large arms with razor-like claws for fingers.
Its eyes were like that of a fully blind person's own with serrated teeth like that of a shark with a twisted grinning expression. It was totally horrifying and ugly to look at.
As it began to reveal its true nature in hopes to horrify Ethan it then found out that its attempts were becoming less and less futile in its attempts to possess Ethan was resisting it all his might.
Of course it was aware of the fact Ethan was no weakling if anything Ethan was strong very strong which will only serve it purpose better.
But then there is something wrong with the entire situation. It was supposed to be this hard taking all things into account it possessed Ethan at the right time when he was at his weakest both physically and mentally so how is that he is able to resist it.
'Something is wrong wrong wrong wrong' it said with a charred voice and madness.
'How are you doing this, you are not supposed to be awake or resist me so tell me how' it screamed out while it used its razor -like claws to scratch its large emaciated head.
Ethan on the hand was there kneeling on both kneels with face facing down while muttering I am Ethan, I am Ethan, I am Ethan, as that was the only thing that kept him bound because anything he was down or weak his parents and mentor will always remind of the fact that he is Ethan and so he must stand firm and endure to the very end.
As the ugly creature was staring at Ethan with eyes full of malice, madness and hatred wondering why what went wrong Ethan then looked at it from his position with bloodshot eyes and said.
"I will make sure that your kind regret what they have done to my world and all that stand in my way will suffer the same consequences. I promise you this I will do all I can to make you pay and suffer for this" he said in a loud voice full of resolve and conviction.
Seeing this the ugly creature involuntarily took a step back.
But Ethan wasn't done yet looking at it with hatred he said with a surprisingly calm voice while he grins mischievously.
"starting with you of course."
'you, you what have you done' it said in a panic mode its voice sounding much worse than before but Ethan didn't or respond to it as the deed has already been done.
Looking at it once more he smiled.
Immediately the creature felt a much serious sense of wrongness and inexplicable fear and inevitability.
And then it dawned on it what Ethan had done but it was already too late for anything else.
'You, you bastard how will you know that no how can you do that' it stutters on the right word to use.
'You can't possibly be thinking of sacrificing your masteries level for a chance of survival. Are you well if that is the case then it won't ha.. '
Just before it finished it words he felt no not felt he was being sucked in with so much pull force that is nearly impossible to escape from the pull.
It tried to distance itself as far as possible but it was futile as he felt as if he was in a twisting vortex and it was being grinded to nothing but molting lights.
It struggled for freedom but it wasn't enough. Nothing it did at this point worked and so in desperate measures to survive it launched a final attack on Ethan who was forcibly sucking it in.
Though it has been reduced to a molten vortex of green energy through the sacrifice Ethan masteries it managed to launch an attack in the form green plasma beam straight to head of Ethan which made him to jagged his head backwards almost as if he was about to let go but an uncompromising will he pushed further the suction force adding more energy to it.
It was tough battle or survival and determination to live on but Ethan narrowly clutch victory as draw the molten green energy inside of him.
All this happens within his subconsciousness while physically something begins to happen as the flame begins to flare widely Ethan let out a loud cry as the flames were forcibly extinguished.
The moment the fire was extinguished and Ethan was revealed to be unaffected in any way by the flames except for his clothes which were obviously ashes by now.
His eyes suddenly flashed with an ethereal green color which made the onlookers unconsciously step back except for a very few.
Ethan took one step, two steps then stopped.
The moment he stopped his gaze landed on a man wearing a brown heart black wool coat and with brown trousers.
The in return just stared back at Ethan visibly unperturbed by sight of the taken as they people like Ethan were called and smiled.
Ethan suddenly fell to the ground and passed out.
After hours of sleep Ethan finally opens his eyes looking he saw the first person as earlier who smiled at him and said.
"Welcome back to the land of the living TAKEN."
