Once again, this will contain profanity. This will also change P.O.V's. Enjoy. (I have included @Mcc457 in this, since he is my eternal rival in this.) I once was a boy, no different than the average person. Well, that was, until my heart has changed, to a horrible incident... My parents were nice and loving, they have given me everything a boy could possibly want, games, food, etc. I was an all A student, and I always had a good reputation. I always had a dark side, but I never showed it in public. I would always keep it in me, until that day has come. That day was so grueling, as my house burst to flames, all the things I owned, has burned to mere ashes. My parents corpses were scorched, as my little brother died. My parents were immediately sent to the E.R, but with no more will to live. I looked as my family died, seeing each of them burn, I couldn't believe what I saw, and I saw a man in the flames. He grinned maliciously and said, "Come after me with your hate. You know you want to. I know you are not who you seem to be, but instead something rather inhumane. You seem to possess a power, that nobody else may learn, use your powers for evil, as you know you want vengeance." Immediately after that, he jumped into the fire, and I did not see him since then. I took his words to heart, as I continued to lean into darkness. ----------------------- 3 years later ----------------------- I was in school, with foster parents of my own. I had no siblings like I used to, and pondered over the thought. My grades started to suffer, as time started to pass. I looked at my teacher with a stare, that sure gave them a scare. Everybody around me feared me, as I walked near by them. They would always step away from me, as I always had an evil look. Every time a bully came, I always nearly killed them, leaving them with a permanent scar, I knew I had a role in this. I knew that I had to avenge my parents, my sibling, and all who have died during that horrific day. I looked at my hands with hate, as I clenched them together tightly. ----------------------- 4 years later ----------------------- I was 13 years old by now, everybody knew of me. They feared me oh so dearly, they knew I was not normal. I killed many people, as they have gotten me mad. Everybody knew I kill, so they always hung in groups, threatening to take my life, when ironically I take theirs. After I was caught, the cops were immediately called. They held their guns at me, with many cops at their side. They have told me to freeze, but I of course did not listen. I kept taking steps closer, as the cops have cocked their guns. As I got closer, the cops had no choice, I readied a stick I found, and smacked one of them unconscious. Immediately the cop shot me, with the others attempting it too. The bullets went right through me, and hit the cops around me. The other cops were confused, as to how this was even possible. I stared at them and got a knife, saying "Good bye sir," before killing them. One by one I killed them, and in a vortex of darkness, something unusual came out of their bodies, it attracted to my hand, as I placed them in a bottle. Realizing it was a soul, I took even more. After many forces attempted to kill me, I took even more souls, placing them in bottles, moving through life as what I am. I had no feelings when I killed, nor did I care. I then, found a blade, nearby in a street. I took a stick and shaped it well, before making my great scythe. When I came by a man, he said "Remember me?" He grinned that same malicious smile, as that one during that day. I looked in shock and readied my scythe, and took his soul too. Before he died, he uttered these words: "Finally, the world will end..." ---------------------- 2 years later ---------------------- I have taken millions of souls, they all store in my hide out. My hide out will not be revealed, as it hides in the shadows. Light was my enemy, though thankfully no one had it. No one possessed the power of light, or else I will come to an end. I always cloaked myself, rarely showing my eyes. The only person who was able to see me was Jordan the Cop. He unmasked me at a local park, holding a gun to my head. All I did was stare at him, before vanishing into thin air. All I saw was a shocked expression, as he left to retreat. I always tried, to avoid that cop, as he was my enemy. No longer could I hold it, I had to take more souls. I take much more, and never end, even when time shall end. It has been so much time, I haven't felt any worse. Come to think of it, I had no feelings, despite the people I've killed. Jordan the Cop has always tried, but never succeeded to catch me for real. All the time, I ran and ran, passing by a lot of people. Each time I came across someone, I would always whisper, "Your soul is next..." before vanishing into thin air... No one will ever kill me now, not until that cop stops me. I will keep on taking souls, even after time shall end... Alright guys, that was "The Birth of Shadow_Riolu, the SoulKeeper." I hope you enjoyed it, and I guess the quality of this story compared to my last one was not as great, nor was it as long, but hey, I tried my best, anyways, I will add more "Fillers," as this was only the main thing anyway. I hope you enjoyed it and of course, leave a like if you liked it, and a rating would be appreciated so I know the kind of writing style you like! But...Still... Your soul will be mine one day...
No, they both have the same amount of effort, it's just that this one was more on an introduction as to how I became a soulkeeper. The first one was more of a fictional story that I came up with when I had the brains to.
Amazingly addicting. You're a really good storywriter, though I'd say instead of putting 3 years later and stuff like that, say something like "It's been 3 years since blah blah blah" or something like that. Amazing story though, I look forward to hopefully having this published as a real book with chapters.
*nudge nudge wink wink* *EDIT* Notice how I included some of our little conversation in this? Specifically when I introduced you.
Will have to read the entire story all over again XD. Mostly it's quotes but aside from that will check the story again. P.S. You should take the souls of the people who do not give you a 10/10 in your stories XD .
You never cease to amaze me, Riolu. Well done. Would you mind if I implement a bit of this backstory into my current novel? I think I may have thought of an evil twist... ~Chicken
