He was sitting in an open field. The grass and trees around him devoid of life" He was on his knees. Gripping his sides. He was gritting his teeth which were as fangs. His eyes as pitch. His wings weren't out. But the feathers strewn all around.

A harsh wind was blowing this night"The trees howling a sad tune. He was in the forest. In one of the hidden clearings. He was passing through when he collapsed. His powers were growing out of control. He was forcing his memory to reveal all he had pushed away. He even willingly brought up him killing his parents to make his darkness grow.

Can one blame him for wanting to master his darkness again?He had spent much time training. Killing his body. He could hear a single sentence spoken in his mind. It was familiar yet unknown. Even Defender was shuddering with the enormous powers"

"And as I looked as I opened doors...the thing that lurks in the darkness...."

The air around him. It was as cold as Ice yet hotter then the Sun. How"he couldn't understand it. He was standing slowly. The air around him now was warping. Shifting in and out of some weird color. Like that you see in a bubble"Accept this was more of a frightening type.

He dropped to the ground. Marks were seen. It was where he slammed his fists in time and time again until they were busted open. He flung his head back and was roaring like no demon or animal. His eyes pure black. His teeth sharper then a sharks. His roar was loud and long.

He doubled over holding his sides as he growled now. A hue formed around him. It slowly started to form tentacle like...things" He was slowly standing. That blackness flying and shooting off of him. His eyes were hidden due to the drop in his head. His hair was still the same length'same color and all. He was still wearing the same clothes"Accept the look of his flesh. It looked tainted"Dead almost"but it wasn't. It was corrupted in this form. He was harnessing all; his power over the darkness.

With each step he took he killed the grass and trees around him. The Animals were smart and ran before he got there"He made it to the ridge and roared as loud as he could. The entire area actually shook with it. He was slowly coming to his senses. He fell to his knees and wrapped his wings around his body. He felt as cold as ice. That sentence rang in his ears once more"

"And as I looked as I opened doors...the thing that lurks in the darkness...."

What had he become" He knew his darkness had a consciousness. But this wasn't the Darkness in him"It was something new. He looked to the sky. Was it him or were there actually eyes in the sky. Was it his parents" No it couldn't have been'they didn't have any powers"

He was blinking as he heard it once more"

"And as I looked as I opened doors...the thing that lurks in the darkness...."

He shook his head and stood"

"What are you?why are you plaguing me?""

The eyes closed and the saying came as ominous as it did the other times. He knew then"It was a combination of Defender and his Darkness. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. But he knew. With a evil looking grin on his face and a devilish look in his eyes".He knew this power was meant to be what he willed it to be?

"And as I looked as I opened doors...the thing that lurks in the darkness....I only see"Myself with the blood of those I loved?"
