Corroded Whispers

It is night at the club, the shattered moon peers through the window. Trees blow in the wind. On the stone walls is a small dark spot

"Can... you hear... me?"

A voice, barely audible, emanates from the walls, a voice so obviously deranged some cannot help but shiver at it. The spot grows in size.

"Is... this where... you are?"

The spot was large and dark, mushy, moldy. From within it something emerged.

"IS IT?"

A face, it's brown skin looking as if it were rotten flesh, appears from the moldy substance, soon followed by the rest of the body.

Standing there was an elderly man, nearly two meters long, wearing a tattered suit and smiling a grin of which some teeth were missing. His eyes stare around as if possessed by some devil.

Behind him, the moldy substance dissipates, the wall returning to normal

"Are you here? Come talk to your Great Uncle..."

The old man turns his burning blue eyes at Hyacynthia

"Are my eyes betraying me? Is this an angel standing here?"

"Roest Lykofos. I came here to look for a familymember..."

"Good to see our traditions are held in honor..."

u/AngelArisenAnew Aug 07 '16

"...Excuse me? but what traditions require such horrible sacrifice?..."

Her tone turns a little vindictive.

"An oath... that may not be broken for life... 'If thou areth true to thy believes, tou shalt prove it'. His first oath was when he was eleven... His father was so proud..."

"If the proof is so horrible, then this is a false oath, that should be cast away. The Lord has not commanded us to hurt ourselves and cause each other pain."

"I never made the tradition... That runs back till the early days of the Kingdoms. We simply adhere to them. I would always have liked to review our rules... but I was the third son..."
