She’d felt it churning up inside her, a horrific feeling that filled her from head to toe, swarming out of every pore and consuming her completely. She didn’t want to allow it, she wanted to resist it with everything she could, but it was everywhere. She was drowning in it, choking on it, freezing in it and yet burning up in it at the same time.
There was little left the even resembled her once she’d changed entirely, when the darkness that had taken her had not been like before. She wasn’t allowed a human form with which to move and be manipulated within. No, this form was just a beast, terrible and formidable. All that remained of Aqua was the torn bits of her clothing scattered around it, tiny bits clinging to it’s claws and to the spikes that jutted from the jagged shackles and chains attached to it’s front legs.
The beast tipped it’s head back and howled, a mixture of an animal and Aqua’s own scream rippling out from it’s throat as it moved, unfettered by any obstacle that dared to stand in it’s way. It smashed rocks with frightening ease, it's claws leaving deep grooves in the ground as it tore across the landscape, a small, almost easily missed building on the edge of town. Beyond it lay so many, many fresh, bright hearts ready to be devoured, but within this damaged structure was something, or rather someone, of far greater concern.
The creature howled again, it's cries shaking the exposed wooden beams.
The male had just come back from another time away, tired and wanting to relax in the place he would call home away from home. It had been fixed up quite a bit, even if it was the middle of the slums. For once, the church looked nice...from the time Cloud had actually fell into it from above all those years ago.
Cloud had only did some small things today; that included moving the benches inside, and sweeping. He was a bit too tired for anything else. Sitting on the two tiered stairs to the pew, he closed his mako hues, and started thinking to himself for a bit. About how much had changed since then. It was staggering.
However, that little moment of peace seemed to end as he heard a thumping that only seemed to get closer.
A corner of the church was destroyed in a flash, mako hues only turning wide at the antagonist behind that vandalism.
Standing up, the male pulled his sword from behind him.
"--never really get a break, do I..."
