Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sokras paused at the comment. "You...don't fear what will happen to the universe? You don't hate me?" Now he was confused. He was used to people lying to him and catch him or use him, but...he sensed none of this from this guy. "...You speak...honestly." He stopped being defensive, but he kept his guard up for outside problems. "Why don't you hate me? Do you not care for what will happen to this universe?"

"Ah..." He was speechless. Never before had he met such a human. Well, of course there are plenty of humans who act like this one did. But when push came to shove, they caved and attacked him like everyone else. To meet a human who stayed calm in persence of someone such as him... "... ...You are one less person I have to worry about then." He turned to leave.

Somewhere in the city, Kujo was doing a search. Going through the negativity of each person's heart, he searched for one so heavily weighed, that he felt compelled to be near them. He'd been following a path of sorrow which had lead him all over the planet. Now, he managed to pinpoint it. He opened his eyes and smirked.

"I'm found him. The one...who surpasses God!"

It was later that afternoon, as Sokras was walking the darkening streets, someone approached him.

"Child of the Universe."
"That name...is one I loathe."
"Why? When it brings me such joy?"
"You don't sound like a human."
"Ah, but I am like you. I, too, am immortal."
"Hah, I doubt it."

He turned to face the man who had approached him and gasped as he saw that they looked just like him, just older.

"I see you recognize me. I am you. I am, Kujo Mokushi."
"What do you want?"
"For you to hurry and drown in misery. To erase this current universe and become and new beautiful one!"
"Eugh!"

And there existed, a younger darkness cursed to hunt you forever. Should you meet him, run and run, lest you desire ultimate sorrow. This reminder from 'mother' rang through his memory. He stepped back.

"Ah, don't be afraid, I bring you a gift. You like animals, right?"

From behind his back, the man revealed the body of a cat freshly torn asundered, its guts spilling forth. Horror and mental agony shook his body as he gave a shriek of terror. The man only chuckled and laughed.

Sokras was running frantically away from the man, away from that cold feeling of death. As an illusionist, had to be one with the astral/spirit plane to create such accurate images. Being so close to the cat's corspe, had filled him with the poor creature's agony. Even now, as he ran, it's final moments were materializing around him since it was so fresh in his mind. "Go away! Stop it!!!!" He crashed into someone. Panicking, he tried to fight them off.

Kujou smirked. "There's no where he can run. His kind of deep sorrow and misery shall act like a beacon. It will lead me to him, no matter where he runs. But for now, I shall wait for him to calm dwn, and then...I shall strike. Again and again till he ends everything." With this, he disappeared.

Sokras was shaking all over, he grabbed his head. He took deep breaths as the illusion ceased. "There...it's gone...it's okay...it's stopped..." He told him self this while slowing his heart's erratic beat. He sighed. "Huh?" He looked up. "It's you." He then looked around. That's person isn't following me anymore... He then looked at the man before him. "You...from earlier."

"Eh...as a hunted person, I don't have a home. Well, I used to have one but...I don't wanna talk about it." Sokras looked down as he had to recall the sad memory."

Sokras looked at the guy's eyes before nodding. "It's not like I have any other options... Hey. You never told me who you are." He had a feeling the he had another reason, but decided that it wasn't as important as getting off the street before more unwanted people showed up.

"Sokras." He stared at Austin's hand before shaking it. His hand felt small. Then again, he was a small person at 5"3 and weighing only 90lbs. This guy...I can't put my finger on it, but...he has some sort of motive behind this. It doesn't seem harmful to me though.
