Fire, that is a different kind of pain. The pain of your flesh being burned, what was worse was that they made my senses sensitive every time. I could feel the fire burning my flesh, all of it, and then comes the nightmare. Feeling your skin growing and healing all the burns inch by inch. It was a itchy pain, like thousands of ants biting me.

  The only safety i got was the darkness. When they chained me inside a pitch black room with blood vipers everywhere. At first it was unbearable, they endless darkness followed by the bitting of blood vipers i couldn't see. Over time the darkness felt at home, the blood vipers like brothers in torment.

  This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

  Years went by, at least I think it was years, could've been longer I couldn’t tell. They taught me to kill, to become the darkness, how to control the beasts. Everything was taught to me, to make me perfect. I could have escaped, I didn't want to. The last tests were today. I was being prepared for my blood being replaced by that of demons.

  I went to sleep inside the coffin of blood, I slept for a long time, too long.
