He jumped off the cliff headfirst in a nosedive position.
His body felt light as it moved through the air, cutting through it like a rock being thrown, moving at a high speed.
It was perhaps the best feeling he had ever felt in his life, the air caressing his body and wiping his mind clean of all thoughts he had before.
A moment he wished would last forever, exhilarating him with each passing second falling, something he wished for, a bottomless pit which he could never reach the end, an endless fall with no worries in the world, just that sole sensation.
He kept his eyes peeled at the water below with kept getting closer and closer with each moment, knowing that the moment would pass by soon.
The water which was looked once bright blue from high up above was slowly turning into a light blue-green color to his surprise.
A slight burning sensation began to run rampant over the middle of his back, hotter and hotter it got with each second.
He had time, he was about a couple hundred of meters away from hitting the water and closed his eyes for a split second.
Within that second he could hear something cracking similar to glass and immediately after his back felt ablaze, a new form of excruciating pain.
As he opened his eyes, he immediately turned his head and looked to the back only for his eyes to meet nothing.
He turned his head quickly back to the front, ignoring the pain and looked back at the water below.
His focus was stronger than ever and as he continued falling, the environment was slowly changing and the pace at which he fell kept increasing.
The once beautiful lake which was below him, white stone erupted from it in the center forming a small circular platform directly in place for him to fall upon.
The sun disappeared with all traces of its light shining upon the world with the moon suddenly emerging and darkness ensuing shortly after.
Enveloping, the darkness consumed everything to the sides, the once bright light blue-green lake, a small red spot could be seen.
Bubbles could be seen rising to the surface and the pale red fully took over the lake forming a lake of blood directly below.
He was no longer in control of his body.
Immediately, his body shifted position mid air, inverting his position from face down to feet down.
*Boom
It was like that of an explosion when he landed on the platform from the speed at which he was falling.
He hit the stone with great force and suffered not even a single scratch.
As he looked down from his stooped position with his knuckles pressed into the stone, he could see there was a major crack within the stone as if the only thing saving it from being shattered to pieces was the sheer width of it.
Slowly he stood up and looked upon the vast blood lake with seemingly no end.
It was different as to how it had been in the past, it wasn't the same as in the other situations, a strong sense of familiarity took over his body. This place was in no way related to the ones he were in before, he could feel it in his bones.
Have I been here before?
His body began to walk towards the end of the circular platform.
With each step his back burned more than the last, the urge to scream completely suppressed by lack of control of his body.
Upon reaching the edge of the platform and looking into what seemed to be the endless sea, he could see 3 things slowly emerging from the pool of blood directly infront of him.
Slowly it rose, 3 stones: red, white and black respectively.
They kept rising higher and higher until they completely towered over him about 30 meters into the air, large cylindrical pillars covered in runic symbols from base to peak with cracks of various magnitudes being visible throughout each pillar.
The one which caught his attention the most was the black pillar, it was completely covered in cracks and the runic symbols gave a bright white light.
It looked fragile as if it was on the verge of breaking as if even if a gentle breeze would blow it would be shattered to pieces.
The red and white pillars had cracks but not to the degree where they seemed to be on the verge of being destroyed like that of the black one, but they weren't far off from it.
As he looked up at them he could hear the cracking sound intensifying and along with the sound more cracks could be seen forming on the red and white pillars, however, both pillars gave no light as that of the black one.
His mind couldn't help but analyze this place, a place he could have sworn he had been before yet he had no recollection of it within his memory.
His head felt as if it was on the verge of exploding from him trying to remember this place.
He understood why he wasn't in control of his body, his mind couldn't remember the place his body surely did and was trying the best it could to make him remember.
The way in which he stood and his overall posture was different from normal, it was more of a fighting stance which he had never seen before.
As his head bent down and looked down upon the blood, he could see his reflection.
His facial expression twisted, he could never remember looking this way before or could he and the more he thought about the past, the more he thought there was a gap within the time he was with Cornelius.
Voices began echoing within the space, his and a woman......... conversing.
"Are you sure you wish to do this?"
"I have no choice Susan"
"You understand that this is tampering with your overall psyche and body right, other things may be locked away in the process."
"It's better this way, it's about time I was put to a stop anyways, let's get it over with before I go for that "thing", I'm getting impatient"

"Don't worry about it, Cornelius took it far away and cleared up the vault, are you alright?"
"..........It feels like a piece of me was ripped out, you have no idea how badly I want to fuckin kill you and your family right now Susan"
"But you were the one who came to me Ch-"
"I told you not to fuckin call me that......... you left me no choice, people are starting to catch on"
"..............Sorry for this, it's going to be extremely painful, I'll link two of them to strengthen it and the last one will stand alone, are you alright with this?"
"Sounds good, get rid of these memories too, I'll just snap if I think about it, this is for your safety too......."
"My magic won't be broken so easily once I'm around, I don't hav-"
"You fuckin know magic doesn't mean shit to me, get rid of these memories........before I get rid of you.............I'm sorry but I'm trying my best right now "
"It's progressed to the point where it's this bad, why didn't you come to me earlier, you know I consider you to be family........................."
"I know, that's why I atleast came now, better late than ever and one more thing Susan........."
"What is it?"
"Thank you, for giving me a chance at a happy life despite what I've done"
"This is all our fault, it should have never come to this in the first place, we all contributed to this. Your mental instability is because of everyone and we pushed you to the point where you found an escape from this cruel reality with that "thing", you should have never become like this, I'm so sorry"
"...............you can't say you don't have atleast one chance for redemption now Susan"
"I promise you when you wake up, no-one will treat you the way they did before, I swear it on my life"
Suddenly he could feel control of his body once more and upon regaining control both pillars which gave no light began to glow in a deep red with a rumbling sound and more cracks slowly appearing all over.
"I see, these pillars ar-"
----------------------------------------
*Rustling
An immediate transition occurred in his perception of reality, he could hear the wind rustling as he cut through it with his eyes closed, he opened it immediately only to see the water a couple meters away from him.
What was that......no time to think about it, what do I do?............the rock? yea the rock
Instantly he threw the rock from his hand into the water, causing a miniature eruption from the water.
With his hand still directly infront of him, he left it within that position off instinct, if he had jumped from the cliff feet down his body would've been able to withstand the impact of the blow from hitting the water, but he was heading in head first and the small eruption caused by the stone wouldn't be enough to reduce the impact of the fall, his body adapted defensively to ensure there would be no damage to the head.
Instantaneously he plummeted into the water going deep below, water began to fill into his lungs due to him forgetting to hold his breath and the panic began to take over underwater as he began to beat the water desperately trying to get out.
As he looked on helplessly, with his body locking up to the deep darkness below within his sight he could hear something.
*Cracking
The sound could be heard even underwater, something was breaking, something he hoped he would have never let loose again.
He calmed down and regained his composure locking off all emotions and returning into his original emotionless self from the past.
His mind was clearer than before and he thought about it, the way in which he had seen people swim in the past and the form and position they took.
Mimicking the position he began to swim upwards from the depth.
*HUFF *HUFF *HUFF
Upon reaching the surface of the water he began to take deep breaths.
Looking into the far distance ahead on the land near the trees he could see the satyrs looking at him with smiles on their faces.
Everything in the water seemed to come naturally and he began to swim as if it wasn't his first time straight towards them.
He grabbed onto the land with his hands and pulled himself up to the ground from the water.
The cracking noise had stopped upon his ascension from the water but he was still wary.
He walked over to the satyrs where both Ja'eh and Quo'ah congratulated him and gave him a pat on the back upon him learning to swim.
----------------------------------------
"So where are the nymphai?" the boy asked upon only seeing the satyrs.
"You didn't see them underwater?" Ja'eh asked.
"No" the boy responded.
"Look now child" Quo'ah said pointing at the lake.
He turned around to see multiple blue lights glowing beneath the water, with the light getting stronger and stronger showing some things were about to emerge.
"How well can they use magic?" the boy enquired looking at the glowing blue lights.
"Better than us for sure" Ja'eh responded.
"Why do you ask?" Quo'ah enquired.
"Nothin really" he responded.
My seals...............they're on the verge of breaking..............
"They are coming up now, look" Quo'ah said.
Vague outlines could be seen getting closer and closer to the surface of the water and then a light blue finger emerged from the water, reaching for the edge of the lake where they stood and the entire arm followed shortly after, grabbing onto the ledge.
Beautiful black hair slowly emerged and before he could tell, they were already up on the land.
Women bare naked with their breasts and genitals fully exposed, their bodies of different sizes and statures, different hair types, some curled and straight, the only things that seemed a general trait was their blue skin tone and runic symbols etched unto their bodies all along each body part with the face being the exception.
These women were unparalleled in beauty, probably the most beautiful women he had ever seen in his life.
He looked at all the nymphai bare naked for all the world to see how they were born but the sight of the naked women didn't catch his attention...........one of the nymphai looked familiar, and with that feeling of familiarity, his mind sparked.
She'd look better with a tree branch running through her skull wouldn't she.......
Her presence made him feel uncomfortable stirring up the urge for violence within, she seemed normal just like the rest of the nymphai but something about her was "off".
She made a subtle glance at him then redirected her gaze back at the satyrs.
His mind couldn't wrap around where he knew this nymph from.
I need to clear my mind........
He could care less about introductions right now, if he stuck around something bad would happen, getting away from these people was the only thing on his mind.
The nymphai looked at him smiling and as they began to walk towards both him and the satyrs, he simply turned away and walked towards the forest trees where he could see the satyrs bows and arrows leaned up against a tree.
He walked over and put the quiver filled with arrows on his back and threw the massive long bow over his shoulder and proceeded to leave them.
"Where are you going? The fun is about to start" Ja'eh said smiling looking at one of the nymphs.
Fun?
One of the satyrs walked over to one of the nymphai and began to kiss her and rub her breasts.
Immediately he pushed the nymph against a tree and rammed his cock straight in her and began to fuck her.
All he could hear was moaning and the nymph screaming "Harder", he definitely had to leave now.
What the fuck is happening..........
"You guys do you, I'm going hunting" he informed them.
"Hunting?" Quo'ah asked.
"We need to eat don't we?" the boy replied.
"We can just fish" Ja'eh said.
"No thanks, I'll find something else for us to eat, wait for me, I'll be back before dark out" the boy insisted.
"Can you even wield that bow, the drawback for it is intense, even for us not to mention you don't even know the forest, you can get lost easily" Ja'eh said.
"This bow is for a child...........I'll be back soon, I'm not worried about getting lost, I have your scent"
All the satyrs looked at him with a look of pure shock as he walked away, he was different, almost like a completely different person.
His aura wasn't human at this point, some of them understood immediately why he left, it was a form of self restraint and he was trying to go back to his normal self, he needed to be alone undisturbed by anyone.
As he walked towards the trees of the forest to hunt he could feel a hand spontaneously grab on his shoulder.
He slowly turned around to see one of the nymphai touching his shoulder.
She immediately put her arms around his waist and began to move it downwards towards his crotch.
"A big strong man like you and you'd rather play with wild animals than have fun with us? Let's play pleaseeee" the nymph said with a lustful smile.
"Sorry but women don't interest me right now" the boy said as he shrugged her off.
"Remember what I told you about living a little back then? Have some fun" Quo'ah said.
*Crack
"My definition of "fun" and yours are two completely different things, you don't want to see my definition first hand" he said with a menacing smile as he walked off.
"Whats his problem?...........You'll have fun with me won't you Quo'ah?" the nymph said as she redirected her attention to Quo'ah.
Quo'ah looked at the boy for about 5 seconds as he walked off before the nymph's words reached his head.
".....Hahaha, of course"Quo'ah said as he approached her and grabbed her waist.
That fuckin smell.......is that a?.............never mind............I'm just overthinking it.....................no I'm not................I'll have to break my viribus seal when I come back..........I'm sure of it............they should be okay until then..........I don't think it will make a move until I come back anyway
After he had walked off a good distance and was sure he was far away from the rest of them, he stopped in his tracks.
"HA........HA..........HA............... TO THINK I FUCKIN LOST TO THAT FUCKIN WEAKLING BEFORE, I REALLY AM A PATHETIC PILE OF SHIT" he laughed as he began to pummel his hand into a tree.
