# I am trying a new format or whatever you wanna call it today . Comment something PLEASE . I want opinions #

Darkness .

Extreme darkness . I was unable to see anything in this place . I was born of a simple god's rune . The last thing I remember seeing , was a man , with white skin and red hair . He seemed to be determined , facing against my old master , who was a god . She felt attached to that man . In her mind , there was only a single sentence , which was much more of a command . She repeated the words over and over , until they echoed in my mind .

Although I knew this man was not my master , I couldn't help but draw closer to him . I started hearing everything he said , everything he heard and even what he thought .

He was like me . He wanted to kill everyone and drown the world in blood , all for fun . He wanted to end everything , but I knew as well as he did , the girl beside him was the only thing holding him back .

This man had a darkness in his heart , which was why he became dragon of dark . Like all other dragons who left the path of righteousness , a darkness was born in his heart . He had realized , the more he stayed with that girl , the more he would get away from the darkness . He thought he should leave her . After tasting blood once , his heart didn't let him leave that blood behind . He wanted more , but he couldn't be willful as long as she was with him .

I knew his true inner feelings . He felt reluctant to part with her , yet wanted to leave her behind . He chose the option that best suited the former .

I could see everything in his heart , and so could that monster made of darkness . We were both just 2 shadows , stored in his heart , by that former master of mine .

This man , everytime he looked into the eyes of the girl , his heart hurt , and that feeling was also transmitted to us . Everytime we remembered something , we would also be able to see exactly what happened .

We saw his whole life . It couldn't be called tragic , because it wasn't . The darkness beside me seemed guilty for the later part of his life , but the monster that it had turned into , was a dragon . These prideful creatures never questioned their decisions , and so it too , decided to repay for what it did , by being his slave forever .

It told me how it was trapped here . it told me how that man could see through his own eyes , and peer into it's . It told me , how enchanting it sounded when that man commanded it . It told me , the moment that man saw the darkness in it , he started by taming it . Even this newly born dragon knew nothing of why he got this feeling of fulfillment from listening to his commands , and I decided to try his commands for myself .

I spent my time seeing the man's memories with the baby dragon , that stood a distance , which seemed both close to me and endless .

We saw all his memories , conscious or unconscious . He was born a world different to those I had seen . The world had no Mana , and humans used no magic to progress , and unlike the humans who decided to not progress , his world was much better than the other , even better than this world ruled by heroes he was currently in .

The memories at the start were blurry . He had a mother , who left him at a 'church' gate . He had no clue of his father . The 'church' belonged to a god that did not exist . The priests and all his accomplices were bandits in hiding . He was took in by them , but because he did not do as they said , he was beaten and almost killed . He ran away , with a deep intent to kill in his heart . Even I knew that humans were weak , and a 7 year old , who was on Death's door and was weakened . But , no one noticed him . He ran , for a long time , and no one helped him . He had to help himself .

He decided to do what he was reluctant to . He stole and robbed and acquired money , with any method possible . Yet , he only harmed and never killed . The darkness was growing , and he realized it's growth . He wanted to stop the darkness , so he did exactly that . He did one last heist and became invisible .

Living in a town by the sea , he only ever went out to buy food , but even that soon stopped . Regardless of the amount of money he had , he never overspent . He spent his time , locked in his house as he used an object called the ' Internet ' . He looked at moving pictures and read words in a language I could not comprehend . He spent his days doing just that .

He ' Played ' in what seemed to be alternate worlds . Those world were like the ones I had seen , just more exaggerated and much more peaceful . To go to another world , all he needed was a weird helmet . In these worlds people never died .

She saw all his experiences and felt everything he did in all of them . She felt the bottled rage , the desire to kill and everything else , till the bottle exploded . In one of those worlds , where people actually died , the man realized the feeling of heartbreak and betrayal .

My heart beat as he was with that woman but not as much as it did when he slowly tortured that woman to death . In this 'Game' , in which it hurt when one got hit , that woman died as he cut every part of her body , and as it came back due to what he called a 'Program' he cut them again , slowly , 1 by one and in the end , he churned her guts with a sword as he finally saw her disappear into thin air . He realized the pleasure of killing at the age of 23 years . And he killed for the following 7 years . Every death gave both me and him the pleasure of being covered in the blood from meaningless slaughter .

The darkness beside me shivered as I looked at it . It knew what I wanted it to do . With the help of that monster I will go out to greet my master and with the help of it's darkness , I will bring back my favourite master as I bring out his old wounds .
