Spectral Claws: Ancient Recurring

The Prodigal 'Sons' (A short insight chapter- Split Soul)

The menacing voice inside me now was a weeping, cold, fearful animal crying to be let out. I could feel him inside me asking for help to be let out still and my friend was still getting his army ready to fight the incoming enemies. All I had to do was take a few seconds in the mind palace to meet this new personality that I had found. Perhaps an intriguing, chilling chat in there.

I went back to the unstable dark side of my own castle, slowly as I went through claw scratches on walls and long big corridors and rooms full of weapons and at last, at the end of the castle, a throne. I needn't tell about the wolf's hair all over the place, but surprisingly, there were guitars and musical instruments that I'm sure I did not play. Besides, there was a room that had the only thing I played, the violin sitting in the corner that was filled with dust.

The throne had a wolveian name on it. I walked slowly to the giant chair as my footsteps that were caused by my torn shoes echoed around the place. "Naufilius..." I said as I suddenly heard the noise of something breathing against my back as soon as I turned, I heard the sound of leaping and slowly turned my senses more, but then I knew nothing could really affect me in this place.

Behind me stood a taller, bigger, a little hairier version of myself. I turned my head to the side softly and looked at it. It seemed strange, "Naufilius, what does that mean? "

It looked upon me with a broad smile and its hair waving with winds coming from all directions and spreading its evilness across me, "you are a fool, pet wolf. I named it myself after this ..creature of this planet." I sighed and looked at him, laughing a bit at the overexaggerated darker, deeper voice of mine ringing back to my ears from him, "That creature is nautilus you dip shit.." I glared at its eyes as I went closer. I still now don't understand why this creature is crossing my way, and a whole dark side of the neglected mind, when did it change into this."You won't have to cross me anymore, Bare Wolf, I am good on my own." I said as I showed my back to and was about to leave knowing this place anyway won't get me the answers I seek.

"Stop there. We are just shards of your soul, Faudian and as I said, your thoughts I hear them. That is all I can hear." I was truly annoyed to hear that from him again. I hate being reminded of things I neglect. They add to the storage of the brain. I'm a bit glad that at this moment the braindead wolf can listen to what I think."Looks like the exact place you need to be. Don't waste my time, you won't exist forever. I will see to that. If there is anything, you must ask."

I had a sudden uneasiness in my head as I spoke about that. I suddenly kneeled on the floor holding my head there and having a seizure, "What--what are you doing.." The giant physique standing opposite to me moved and kneeled to look at me, though he was still taller. It tried to soothe me. Pity how a person with a voice can offend anybody just upon whispering even the simplest words, yet I felt like I needed to listen to this side of the brain.

"You aren't listening to me, first light, I am you, a part of you that is deepened within the darkest places of your mind. I am the hunger you neglected and the fate you feared. I am the destiny you are running from. I can only go if either we both get through this and finish the task at hand together or die trying. I am the other light and till I return, I bid you, farewell mind twin, see you on the outside."

It was the last thing I wanted to hear, but now I understand as all of it was true. I had a rage inside of me that I always hid now it has turned against me. It seems like it was in my hands, after all, to either work with my split or let my emotions take over. Yet, saner heads prevailed, I wanted to try to use my wolf powers much more it might just diminish the anger and keep me apart from the devil in the chair within though he wasn't that exactly.

I found myself back to reality and at encounter to several mighty enemies surrounding me...all I had to do was to control my powers and the beast within to enhance and fight. I gotta say, it's been a long coming since I had used my claws and those gnarly teeth. Now it feels...Like it's calling to me...hahaha.
