They noticed another kid their age was trying to read the oblisk, it struck Francis that it might make sense to read it as well. Francis walked even closer to get a better look at both the man and the oblisk. "I don't know what half that is, but I'm guessing that means he wants to test our spirits or something or else the world be even more chaotic." They exclaimed.Tetro said:
Francis watched in awe as the oblisk glowed. 'Called it!' The kid triumphantly thought, the idea of a test of spirit flowed through their mind. "To be honest I'm not sure how this telepathy thing works, but can you hear my thoughts as well?" They curiously asked. Francis pondered for a brief moment whether their spirit was strong or not, but looking back on past events, they decided to step up. " I'll try..."Tetro said:
Francis obediently spoke said words, while looking him dead on in the eyes.Tetro said:
As Francis stared into his eyes they felt a strong darknes being forced inside of them. It felt like both their mind and heart were being torn up, thrashed around, and tortured. Even though it felt absolutely terrible, the kid managed to persevere, trying their hardest not to show any physical signs of weakness, even though their body was now slightly trembling, overwhelmed by darkness. Everything felt like it was spinning, attempting to focus at a moment in panick and pain seemed nearly impossible, but they didn't want to give up just yet. Succeeding at this test was now the positive option, for if they didn't want even more chaos to overtake the world, nor did they want to see the man suffer any longer. They had a feeling of a bond being formed between the two and realized the trick was just not to let go and let the darkness win which sounded easier than it truly was. Francis was grasping onto their very will and spirit as tight as possible in the test. They were a resiliant child, having been to hell and back in the past.Tetro said:
They felt as if they were being strangled and sliced up at the same time and instinctively tear up from all the pain. It was cold and torturous, but it was better that they went through this versus the world being bombarded with chaos, or at least they told themselves this. For a mere moment a small speck of light shown through the darkness, it was a break from all the pain they were currently going through. Of course, all good things eventually come to an end, as did the light, they felt themselves being dragged back into the void of darkness that they have been enduring for what felt like an endless amount of time for the kid. They weren't ready to give up just yet, carefully trying their hardest to keep focused and strong.Tetro said:
Francis felt as if they were being pulled even further into a dark trance. There was no option left otheer than to give up and die, it appeared. However, this was not exactly how the kid planned on dying, they continued to fight over control of their own mind. They looked the beast straight in the eyes as he lifted the kid further up. Up until now Francis was silent besides occasionally gasping for air. 'I well aware I'm physically weak, but by no means am I spiritually! I've made it this far anyways.' They exclaimed.Tetro said:
Nilix began to drain their life force and slowly drive them to insanity. The amount of torture only increasing on them. Francis would have to either let go or die by this point. Nilix did all he could to keep the kid holding on so he couldn't break free. Nilix was going to be free either way by this point, it could end in either death or life though.Ballerina said:
They felt all will and life force being drained, the feeling of insanity began to overwhelm them. 'So this is how it feels to be crazy....' The torture continued to worsen, but they knew if they let go chaos would break out, dying was the only option it seemed. It occured to them that if they never let go, the monster would eventually have to. Francis furrowed their brows, at this point not really caring when the torture would stop, just trying to stay strong.Tetro said:
The kid was thrusted to the ground, before all life that lied with in them was gone. Their lifeless eyes still staring at the beast and their body lying still.Tetro said:
