With a pop, the darkness which had wrapped itself around her was suddenly gone; like wisps of smoke it trailed from her body, still clinging to her aura. It had taught her, showed her it's power and in exchange she would give it what it wanted, to rid itself of the beasts who sucked at it. Slowly her eyes opened to the physical world around her, a hard adjustment to the almost non-existent light within the room. Her body was heavy, her soul felt more so; that was not what she'd thought she'd encounter down here at all. From her place curled on the floor she could make out Korrё's shape, moving further into the room, feet getting closer to her legs. "Step on me and die..." She mumbled slowly sitting up on the stone floor, behind him she could see it, one of the parasites moving down the stairs. It would take her another few seconds to get to her feet, her head felt even heavier with that motion. Years of unlife had made her feel immune to such physical drains on her body, she wasn't use to the feeling, nor the feeling of power she had. With another glance at the thing, she ignored Korrё's grumbled remarks as she stepped closer to the doorway. She wasn't able to think with the haze which buzzed in her skull still, "Go forth and drive back the parasite from my home." A female voice whispered within her skull, and strangely Lucina obeyed it. Another step put her at the edge of the empty doorway, her hands came up and seemed to hover in front of her; with the sound which followed the dark mist that suddenly snaked from her hand was like an explosion, deafening to both her and Korrё. It set the beast back, and for the first time the thing looked more confused that terrifying to her, it wouldn't last for long as she somehow knew, but for now they would be safe. With that the haze lifted from her mind, the presence pulled away from her and the dim world grew brighter; which she disliked as it left her blind for a second.
Bottles smashed, I raised my hand
How can you all even stand?
And why is there joy in this poison? Oh
Faking smiles and confidence
Driving miles to capture this excitement
I can't take anymore
You're never gonna get it
I'm a hazard to myself
I'll break it to you easy
This is hell, this is hell
You're looking and whispering
You think I'm someone else
This is hell, yes
I am in hell
