Sunil Seva
In an Alley, Residential District
The young boy smiled in delight as the man stood up, seemingly going to heed his request. He was basically keeping himself from jumping up and down in excitement. What will he do? What is he thinking? He hasn't spoken yet. he silently noticed. Is he mute? he wondered, but then he blinked in surprise as the werewolf lifted his finger. He suddenly felt like stepping back. Something tells him he should... or else---
Fire.
Sunil's eyes widened as he saw it, the world burning to the ground. The feeling of emptiness crawling in his heart, as the world burned to nothingness. The feeling was indescribable... and utterly horrible. Ashes. Ashes... He could feel it: the consuming void, the darkness--- no. He is the void. He is the darkness. He was nothing, he was gone, the feeling of his senses shutting down, the sound of his own heartbeat the only sign that he ever was alive. He clutched at his throat as he stumbled back, his hands going up to his head as he stared wide eyed at the ground. "No..." he murmured. "No, take me back." His hands were shaking. This darkness felt so familiar. The dread crawled up his stomach, making him feel like throwing up. There was nothing, he was nothing. "TAKE ME BACK!" he screamed as he fell into his knees. He was gasping, his fingers digging to the dirt. Worthless... forgotten...
Suddenly, he went still.
For a long moment, he was not moving. And then his shoulders shook a little. A small smile tugged at the edge of his lips. Soon enough he was giggling, and not long after a full blown laugh erupted, echoing within the alley. It was a manic laugh, a laugh that made him clutch at his stomach, unable to breathe. "This isn't real... is it?" he whispered, as he stood up, holding onto the man's wrist suddenly: a strong, almost crushing grip. He lifted his head, giving the man a sweet smile once again, albeit the gold flecks in his eyes almost glowed, looking undoubtedly consumed by pure madness. "You... That's interesting. But you know... I am not worthless. I have a purpose. I found it again! As long as the cause lives, as long as the Circle is intact, I..." he trailed off, getting confused for a moment. There was a buzzing in his ears. Words he could not quite decipher... over and over, again and again... Eh? Something's not right. My purpose was... it was... he held his head for a moment, his expression completely blank when he met the man's eyes again, looking as though he just realized something. "That's right." he murmured. "You are damned." he walked closer towards him, his grip on his wrist only getting tighter, as he tiptoed to get a closer look on his face, smiling innocently. He could almost see it, this man is destined to hell. But he could still be saved! So long as he lets Aditi bless his soul. His smile widened. "Say, Mister..." he murmured.
"Have you found salvation yet?"
