JackOfAllTrades: Yo still trying to familiarize with RRL's format, god this is so confusing.... I can't even fking indent, maybe there was a guide on how to use this format and I'm just being a fktard idiot who was too lazy to check... [th_116_.gif] Also found the smilies option! 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Jack's POV) 

I couldn't feel anything anymore... My parents had both left me by myself, but I couldn't bare any harsh feelings towards them but towards myself as I had gotten our family into this kind of situation, if I had not ran away... If I had not acted like a selfish person... We still might have lived like a normal family... It would have been an impossible goal to reach, but we could've still made it worked. After six years of harsh living however, I could not live with it and tried to escape reality by escaping home. Why? Why did I have to? Is it because of my temperament as a child it would have eventually happened? If so, why in the living hell does fate have to toy with my life to have it end this way!?

As my dried up eyes began to swell up again, I closed my eyes to reminiscence the past of my mom's soothing voice and my dad's hearty laugh. It was as perfect as I begin to imagine us as a normal family living a perfect life, with no hardships or troubles at all. Only if… If I was stronger, maybe I could have protected my parents. If I could have killed that human sack of shit, they would have still lived... Its human’s greed that killed my parents… Only if they didn’t exist in the first place!

“Do you want power to seek revenge?” (???)

Huh? Did I just hear a voice? I looked around in confusion as I heard a seductive voice echoing around me.

“Do you or do you not want power to rid this world of the things that took away your parents, the ones who shattered your dreams and aspirations of having a normal family?” (???)

I-I do… I want power… I want power and rid this world of these horrid creatures that dare take everything away from me! 

“Good… The only thing you have to do… Is to let go… Let go of that light inside of you, and let the darkness consume you…” (???)

“Wait! Don’t listen to her!” (???)

All of the sudden another voice comes out of nowhere, but it was a different voice as it sounded pure and bright.

As I didn’t have any effort to say anything, I looked around again in confusion and the pure voice said something as to answer my question I was asking myself in my head.

“Jack, if you let yourself get consumed by the darkness how are you going to live!? Aren’t you trying to live for your parents as you promised to your mom that you would!?” (???)

Wh-What? How does she know about my promise to my mom? And how would I die from gaining power?

Again, as if reading my mind she answered me.

“If you let yourself get consumed by darkness you will burn yourself out as potential in dark magic amplifies the effect of your emotions and strength by a thousand fold. However, your body can’t handle that amount of power as you will implode and will create a world of chaos.” (???)

A world of chaos? Just from me exploding?

“Yes, for you hold a dangerous item in yourself, Pandora’s Box. Fortunately, your affinity for light magic suppresses your 

dark magic, so if you were to let darkness consume you, you will plunge this world into chaos.” (???)

“Tch… I guess my plans are ruined now…” (???)

“Lily! Where are trying to go!? You’re trying to kill the only life source we have! And For what? Just because you don’t like humanity!?” (???)

“Shut it Therese, you wouldn’t understand anyways! Jack, do not listen to her! Get rid of the filthy creatures that took everything from you! Make them suffer! You understand! The price of revenge and power is high! It always is! So take the chance now and strike when the iron is hot! If you don’t do it now! You’ll eventually die without exacting revenge!” (Lily)

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

“Jack, there are other ways to get strong, don’t take the easy way out! Live! Live on for your parents! Remember your promise! Don’t be a person your mother wouldn’t want you to be!” (Therese)

What my mother wouldn’t want me to be? What did she want me to be? A caring person who would forgive anything and everyone, just like her. Even if she was discriminated and exiled, she had forgiven the people who put her into the situation. But in order to do that, I have to be strong and yet, the promised power is in right in front of me. So, what do I do?

“If its power you want, I’ll promise you power as well, however, it depends on your effort, as I only can offer you power ten times less then what Lily is offering, but power that can grow immensely after it is trained to its fullest.” (Therese)

And I get to live? Live long enough to fulfil my mother’s promise. Even with power that’s ten times less, it’s enough power to also get my dad’s corpse back from that wretched place and have proper burial for him and mother!

But there has to be a catch as well…

“Of course, I wasn’t planning to hide anything from you… The only way to obtain your powers is… By purging your memories and emotions from yourself…” (Therese)

Wait what? I’m sorry I think I just imagined something horrible sounding coming from that voice for a second.

“No it’s real, you didn’t imagine that.” (Therese)

Hold on! At least be discreet about it!

“I already said that I wasn’t going to hide anything from you, however, the side effect of you purging all of your memories and emotions is quite devastating as you will experience immense pain at random times. The reason being is that your mind is trying to recall of these memories at some point and would overwork itself to find these missing memories.” (Therese)

But… My memories are the only thing I have of my family… If I lose that then what is the point in living!? 

“Do not fear Jack, you have the ability to gain them back, as some parts of your memories can never leave the brain. Depending how deep of impression the memory was made into your brain, you can’t lose it. For example, a trauma or fear.” (Therese)

I pondered about this, then it came to me, what do these voices get out of this? Why go this far to help me?

“Tch… Didn’t you already hear us? You’re an intellectual five year old! We need a life source! And you’re the one supplying us with it! If you went and had gotten yourself killed, we die as well!” (Lily)

They did mention a life source, but why use me as the source for it?

“Well, it’s because of your high talent in Dark and Light magic that the magic themselves started manifesting into living beings but since you’re only five years old, they can only make us two. Yet with such little experience in creating actual beings, we could only manifest ourselves into voices for now.” (Therese)

“Forget it! He needs to make a decision now! What will it be Jack! Me! Or Therese!?” (Lily)

End Note: All to let you know, my end notes are usually made when I finished editing my posts. For now I'll just say, that yeah this maybe the one of my 'bad' chapters as I edited this hardheartedly and that there may be some (or a lot of) plot holes, if you do see it please tell so I can fix it immediately, alright with that done back to torturous school work.  [th_096_K.gif]
