[closed] Calming the darkness | Asher & Maleficent
It began slowly at first the quiet whispers and the voices, the darkness was shifting and seething almost slowly clawing its way into his very being. It was partly why he had been so busy with work as of late. Asher had of course been helping out where he could and he was grateful for that but at the same time, he needed - hungered to do something that would quell the murmurings. He hadn't seen Ruby in some time now and that also added to it.
George had taught him how to control it of course as did he Mother but it was all too much and he let out a dark growl and threw everything away from him, his work space was flung aside crashing against the wall and making a noise that echoed throughout his establishment. It needed to get out, hungry, hungry so hungry...make everything bleed - watch it all burn. To make someone feel pain, to unleash the darkness and curb the hunger.
He stood there and let out an angered cry into the emptiness of the room which was now pooling with darkness and wandering tendrils licking at his feet and the atmosphere becoming suffocating and dark. There was no doubt in his mind that his Mother would feel this also. And he heard the sound of rushed footsteps coming steadily closer which made him laugh darkly. And the gasp that filled the room caught his attention, and so he turned to face the handsome blonde. And it was clear he wasn’t truly himself.
"Tell me Asher, how does it feel - the darkness it hungers and wants, do you enjoy seeing what exactly I am, this is me. The being I truly am.."
