A New Side of Me [Narrative;FINISHED]

[Mishiranu Arashi]

[takes place just after Arashi's conversation outside of Karrasi]

Arashi blinks into existence after using his Herethere ability. He looked around and shivered, the air was cool as he looked around the mountain pass. He had stifled his brimming confusion in front of Tomo, but it was still growing more within him. A rage of boiling blood that was beyond his usual feeling. He knew he was soon going to loose control, he'd held it back for too long. He felt his body succumb to the spell of hot hatred. He staggered against the cold base of the mountain near him. He looked into the sky as the flurries of snow fell slowly to him, the world was so peaceful. Blinking as sharp pain racked his body, Arashi fell to the ground. His last transformation had been strange, mainly because he regained consciousness before regaining control. He exhaled, feeling his body pulse in a strange energy, steam surrounded him as his body grew hot.

He looked around and saw that no one was in the pass, the feeling of his self control slipping away was infuriating, but that only sped the process, and soon he heard the voice...the dark voice against his reason. Let me out boy. Free me from the depth of your soul and feel the bliss of power. You can't resist what you are Arashi...you know now don't you Arahi...you know that I am part of you. A different you. You figured it out in our last episode.

Arashi spun around as the familiar voice spoke. This time speaking directly to him, as a person and not as his own mind. He was confused, he wanted answers, his mind raced and he fell in a dazed state as his body surged in wave after wave of latent magic. The voice grew louder and the steam became a light haze, Arashi saw that the haze had a form. Arashi stared as he knelt curled on the hard stone of the mountain pass floor.
Stop resisting Arashi. I can give you the answers you seek. I have been here from the beginning. You've trapped me in here too long boy, please let me out. Your leaking me out anyway...just let go.

Arashi felt the honesty in the voice. He could sense that the wish of this alter-ego was to be free. He could feel it's begging desire. And he wanted to allow it. He wanted to set it free...just as he had the last time.

"What are you? What do you want from me?"

Arashi barely realized that he'd spoken as the words left his lips. He felt it was a natural question. And the thing within him spoke, and with glee.

"I am you. I have been here so long I think I'll take your name. But you can call me chaos. I am a sprite sealed in you at birth. Set me free Arashi. Let me take you to power, and run free with you. That is all I wish."

Arashi felt a chilling wave of desire and this time it was his own mind telling him it was the right thing.

"Then I will grant that wish as I did the time before this. I will set you free..for a short time. Consider this your second wish."

And with that, even without understanding what he'd done, he completely released the thing within him. The feeling of raging disorder washed him as his teeth were forced from his jaw and replaced with the vicious maw of an animal. His fingernails leaving his fingers to be replaced with razor sharp claws. The intent of the creature within Arashi had been accepted and now it was free to run rampant. The new form of Arashi that called itself chaos howled in glee before frowning and speaking in his savage monotone.

You swindled me young Djinni. I didn't think you'd have it in you to manipulate my desire so soon. It's okay though. You may not know what I speak of yet but I have one more...

Arashi had remained conscience in this transformation and was watching through the eyes of the beastly form he'd taken. He heard the beast snicker and felt the coursing magic he possessed released. Arashi somehow knew what he'd done and was shocked. He knew legends of those called Djinn but there were so many. He pondered this as his body ran free..climbing the mountain with aid of claws make lethal by acid.

[Mishiranu Arashi]

The wild state of Arashi raced across the mountain faces of the Himalayan pass. The air thick in it's icy wind combined with the magical pollutant currently running unopposed. The beast saw fit to speak to Arashi as it ripped through the mountains in an attempt to find a meal of warm flesh.

"So..boy. do you know what you are yet? Have you figured out why you've been feeling so different after your stay in hell?"

Arashi knew very little about the world of celestials. He thought this was normal but he was quickly becoming aware that his ignorance may be more severe then at first he believed. And that the creature apparently trapped within him knew him better then he knew himself was an insult in itself.

"I know nothing beast. But why are you so adamant on telling me? You seem to be closer to a position of loathing me then helping me? I've kept you pent inside of myself for near 18 years..what is it you gain by helping me?"

The beast forced a steely claw into the mountain face and looked about. It was as if he was both thinking of a response and detecting a possible adversary. The beast looked into the snow fogged air and ran across the face of the mountain swiftly, allowing his claws to trail across the stone at his side.

"I find it interesting to be in the presence of such a rare breed of creature. One that is not only a natural hybrid, but has been modified by magic and my very essence. Do you want to know what you are boy?"

Arashi pondered his next answer as a shadow ran across the beasts gaze. The beast paused and sniffed, the cold air dulling his senses and reaction. The flashing shadow came again, this time a blade stuck the rock near Arashi's head. The beast bolted up the mountain.

"What is it? What is chasing us and what am I?"

Arashi was agitated by the insinuating words he'd been given and by the sudden attack. He felt an agitated rage that seemed only to feed the energy surrounding him. Arashi felt his body roar as he reached a divide in the mountain, beneath that divide was a great village, shrouded in a snowy haze.

"You are the dejected son of a fallen and his slave concubine. And also the vessel that I am forever bound to reside in."

The beast growled, the shadows moving around them behind the snowy veil. Each of them reeked of a separate energy, unlike most human scent's these had refined the element they were most attuned with and apparently trained it. Arashi felt himself launch from the mountain into the village center. A surprisingly warm place, clear of the heavy snow. The shadow's followed and landed around the cornered beast, they were no longer shadows but a group of men and a single woman.

Arashi snarled and the woman stepped forward.

"Who are you creature and what business do you have in this place?" she frowned and looked at the bloody beast before her.
"Leave...now"

At these words she pulled a long katana from it's sheath on her back and pointed at Arashi. The blade glistened of lanterns lit beneath the dome of snow above them. Arashi's savage gaze rested on her and he grinned.

"Meal..."

The beastly Arashi jettisoned forward at the female, his claws outstretched and merciless as he spun, slashing and sending his acid blood in a wave in his attack. The woman leaped away and made a strange sign with her hand, then just as Arashi leaped to reach her again chains shot from the round, chains of hard frozen earth that snagged him as he spun. The chains were quickly coated in acid and broke, barely interrupting the beast. His right hand slashed forward and he was sure this blow would mean death. The acidic blood covering his sharp claws, then, just as he thrusted his final blow he was struck by a needle of ice, the thin needle pierced his neck and he fell unable to move his body. The beasts vision became blurry and his power swirled back into Arashi's body. Arashi took again his normal form as he lost consciousness slowly. The female walked up to him and knelt at his side looking into his eyes.

"Wha..who"

And this was his last word before he fell into a deep sleep.

[Mishiranu Arashi]

Arashi slept for over a week. In this week he was visited by the consciousness of the sprite within him. The dream he had was of a creature made of blood that resembled a tall neko with long claws and sharp fangs. The creature had eyes of flowing red that glowed with a liquid luminosity. The beast spoke to the sleeping Arashi, and the sleeping Arashi spoke to it.

"Who are you really?"

The beast inside Arashi smiled, his red fanged maw full of fangs.
"I am a sprite sealed inside you by your father. I wanted to be part of you from the moment you were born. Your a perfect discord..a natural creation of potential chaos. So when your father was deciding a way to dispose of you..I said I would do it. His seal placed me in you, and your powerful magic bound me. In addition to that the young doctor Yancha reinforced your body to better contain my being."

Arashi understood this but wanted to know more. He watched the Arashi inside him pace and wondered what made him look the way he did.

"So you are now a part of me... but how did it become like this? What is our connection? And why do you so badly wish to be part of me?"

The beast paused, his glowing eyes blinked shut. He looked down and then into Arashi's eyes.

"After your latent magic found a way to contain me I manifested in your blood. Your blood has become a physical manifestation of chaos. And most of your lillite features have been absorbed into me...your Djinni power have been suppressing me. And it has come to the point where neither of us can survive without the other. And I want to be a part of you because you were interesting to me..nothing more. "

Arashi felt he understood the desires of the beastly Arashi. He felt he understood now his own self and ability.

"So..as a Djinn. What does that mean?"

With a grin the Beast smiled.

"You grant someone three wishes. And in exchange you take that person's soul. So far I've taken two of my three wishes from you. My last wish...is that I become a part of you...from this day on."

The beast in Arashi vanished and Arashi regained consciousness. The women he'd attacked in his other form was kneeling beside him. Upon seeing him awaken she held a knife to his throat almost instantly, he saw this and grabbed her hand with a quickness he only knew in his other form. He pinned her beneath him before he realized his action. Just then he heard the voice of the other Arashi.

[Mishiranu Arashi]

"Thank you for granting my final wish. I flow freely in your veins, I feel myself in your every fiber. Yet, I see through more then your eyes now...I can see through behind you as well.."
The sprite said amused.

Arashi looked at her and frowned..he got off of her and she quickly slapped him, knocking loose a tooth. Arashi felt his rage build, but this time without the magical sensation of changing.

"I no longer have the ability to force myself out either though...you own my soul, and I belong to you. You change only if you want to change. And also, your wings should have appeared by now. As you no longer have to suppress me you should begin to have more aptitude with you Djinni side.

Arashi nodded to apparently no one and walked to the door to the small room. The house was made of stone, with traces of magical construction. The woman rose and stood beside him without a word and blushed lightly.

"You know...umm..stranger. You could at least dress yourself before wandering about my home...

She turned and giggled as she moved toward a set of black robes that slightly resembled his old ones. He looked down and grinned before heading over to the woman and placing a hand on her shoulder...speaking softly, with the most seducing tone he could muster. Speaking inwardly to the sprite just before.
So it is my natural ability to convince people to tell my their desires...then steal there souls. Then it is most likely I gain something from this correct? Knowledge? Power?
"Well...do you really want me to put those on?"

The chaos sprite snickered as the girl shivered at his touch, turning to face him and meeting the deep and sensual gaze of the young Djinni. She blushed heavily as her gaze dropped slowly.
"Well..No..I think I want them off actually..."

Arashi pressed further..feeling her desire welling up inside of her. Her body hot with what she wanted..what she wished for. Arashi smiled seeing the effect he had on her..he was new to this but he wasn't bad.
"Is that what you wish for...to gaze at my naked body?"

She nodded and started to grin, getting the feeling this would go somewhere.
"Yes, I wish you would stay naked for me"

He smiled feeling her wish wash over him.
"Deal...Did you want more? Tell me, what do you wish to do next?"

The girl was becoming obviously aroused and checked the locked door and turned to gaze at the scheming Arashi. She looked at him and decided he was playing a game, a game she looked forward to playing through to the end.
"I wish to touch you, and for you to touch me in return?"

Arashi smiled wide and moved toward her, his body inches from hers as she ran her fingers down his chest and abdomen, taking his member in her hands. She gasped as he swelled in her grasp and moaned as he touched her aroused body. She hummed in pleasure as he lifted her and laid her n the bed, slipping her out of her robe.

"And now? Do you wish to feel my inside you?"

She moaned out in anticipation and pulled him to her, attempting to take him inside her. Yet, he pulled away as if to tease her so she screamed out the final wish begging him to take her

"Yes..I wish to feel you..penetrate me"

Arashi smirked and took her then. He finished quickly purposely and sat at the edge of her bed. She sat up as if to object to his lack of passion in the actual act as he was so into it as he seduced her. But as she opened her mouth Arashi laughed harshly feeling his wings for the first time as the acidic haze form around him.
"I hope you enjoyed yourself...the price of this whore..."
He turned to her as his eyes glimmered in psychotic glee, the sprite's laughter heard loud as Arashi began to realize his power.
"Is...your soul"

[Mishiranu Arashi]

She looked at him in a horrified disbelief as his wicked gaze spread across his face. He grinned and raised his hand, giving the sprite a silent order as he pressed his nails into his hand, causing him to bleed. The blood making his hand a sword of the sharpest form. She screamed as he plunged his bloody hand into her chest, ripping her heart and lungs up at once and silencing her wail as her guard crashed through the door. They looked at the happy look on Arashi's face as he pulled free his hand. He chest cavity crippled and sunk in on itself as Arashi drank in her soul.

"Hello...which one of you put the needle in my neck?"

He turned to the intimidated men and grinned...he knew the ways of this village now. This was a place of elementally attuned humans. People who spent the entirety of their lives harnessing the elements and learning from the world. A rare breed of mortal indeed. Arashi smiled, the beast inside him grinning metaphorically as he understood Arashi's intent.

"You plan to take their souls don't you? And kill the rest...you've changed. You've become drunk with power already?"

Arashi shook his head at the sprite's suggestion and looked to the men.

"You men...you wish to see me bleed?"

The men answered with an angry assortment of shouts, and Arashi answered their call with a slash of his arm, the blood of chaos flowing out unto the floor.

"You wish that I was cut by your blades?"

The men stepped back in fear but shouted in the affirmative all the same, Arashi granted the wish..their swords floating up and impaling Arashi..blood pouring from him.

"Do you wish I was covered in blood?"

The men came forward thinking they could take his life now, in revenge of their fallen leader. Grinning as they called for his bloody fate.

"deal."

Arashi granted their wish, the swords that impaled him removed themselves from him and sliced through the men. Tearing them to pieces and covering Arashi in their blood. Arashi laughed, the souls of the dead men writhing as they swirled into his outstretched palm, Arashi's canines became fangs and he let his mind consume the knowledge of the men. He inhaled, the souls taken in like his breath. His attunement with the sprit growing as he acquired the ability to attune with elements from his victims. He smiled, a new understanding of his ability forming from the knowledge of the souls he'd consumed.

"It seems a dozen mortal souls can be very... enlightening."

He laughed and spoke aloud to the being that coursed through his veins.

"You say your manifested in my blood. Meaning that my blood itself is living chaos. A living part of both me and you, of magic. Then I want you to take this blood, and make it live. You may take it and mold it into your form correct? Do so now"

The sprite attempted, the blood on the floor shook but didn't spring into life. Angrily, Arashi cursed but nodded.

"I guess understanding the theory and actually having the prowess are two different things. I have much to learn...and plenty of people to learn from. In any case..I will call you Arashi Ranmyaku. Let us go and learn more together"

Arashi smiled as the sprite proudly repeated his new name and transported himself through His herethere ability...he was going to enjoy life as he now knew it. First thing on the agenda...take more souls.
