Everything was in its place -  my sister and i were fused, and ukko was sealed within its scabbard as our hand reached for the hilt. "Corrupt, Ukko" winds began flowing out of the scabbard as we released the blade from his sheath , they quickly turned black as the darkness started to spread all around us and a dark tattoo began spreading on our right arm as it wielded our friend. We could feel it - the same power we felt in the dream.

The same power that allowed us to create holes as we jumped higher than a mountain , the same power that broke that very same mountain with a simple punch - all concentrated into the blade. We felt in control, unlike previously - this disease was listening to us, and as the dark tattoo  spread over our legs we jumped forward. It must have looked like the end of the world for the people standing there clueless about what was happening.

The bround suddently broke, buildings around us started crumbling a nd we had teleported  right in front of the old man - our stance was low, our rage was enormous. A single swing of the blade would go through the old man releasing a blade of wind that cut everything in its path for miles - making the many buildings in that direction fall onto one side.

The old man's body had been split into two and as its lowerhalf stood still the upper one slided onto the ground creating a puddle of blood as its entrails spilled out. Screams could be heard all over the place , people running , cunfusion and terror were the kings of the town. "You think you can fool us?" We said, three voices into one - our souls perfectly intertwined withone another as our left hand stretched out turning into the monsteous one we had in the dream.

it extended as if the limb w as made out of black smoke a nd it reached further watching something  seemingly invisible and slamming it against a large shop window nearby , going through it and ending into a counter held on top of a table inside that clothing shop. A bloody cough followed by the old man appearing in the middle of the shop, bleeding from its mouth , surrounded by a bright force armor which was wrapped inside out dark hand appeared.

"YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT ME? YOU WILL OBEY ME!" Much like the gravity w e previously felt, our body seemed to have been affected by the  same thing. This time however, it felt much more real. We screamed as our body started to turn completly black, our skin started to dry and our power s tarted to grow. We threw the old man across the street , through a multitude of wooden walls, people plants and various other things.

We dashed forward only to be halted by a force wall created by the bleeding man - As we slashed it in two , a multitude of tenkai appeared all around us, we had never seen so many. Clearly the man was strong - his purpose still unknown to us except for the various clues spread throughout the dream and directly onto our bodies. His intent to capture us and subdue us maybe even control us - but it was too late.

We broke  some tenkai with our bare hands, others were slashed others were bitten , we acted like a caged animal would , an ever evolving one for every second that passed we grew larger , uglier - more terrifying. Dark wings sprouted from out back as dark oozing fur appeared onto us. Our face twisted into that of a monster - a mixture of a dragon and a horror of the night. Ukko had completly disappeared yet it was present within us, we could feel her.

The once human hands had completly turned into claws and what was once human , was no more. The old man could not believe his eyes - he had never seen someone take advantage of his seal, of his invention so much - he had never  seen somebody survive it to then use it a gains him. he knew what was about to happen, there was nothing he could do to stop it - maybe he did not even want to.

After all he had been succesful in what he wanted to  achieve, the creation of a curse that morphed the human body turning it into a monstrous being with the  strenght of a god. Except that he  wished to control it, but how can a mere human subjugate a god? As the sun disappeared only to be replaced by our enormous dark furry claw - the old man disappeared underneath it as its armor crumbled, his bones were crushed.

The last thing the man gifted us would be the  sound of a water baloon exploding underneath our hands - his body unable to handle the pressure of our strenght. "its over" We thought a s we slowly turned back into our human form, ukko appearing in our right hand only to be immediatly sheathed - we were tired, somewhat confused, but definetly drained of our strenght - had we not sheathed her immediatly, we were not sure if we could've controlled it for much longer.

Ukko , turning itself into her human form felt just as tired - falling onto the ground, spreading her  arms wide to her  sides and staring at the sky upwards. We did the same as My sister split from me. The wind caressed us as our sweat had been swept away. the only thing that interrupted our peaceful moments were the screams and the sound of utter distruction - yet somehow that made us happy.

For the many humans around us, we must've seemed like monsters- after all we had swallowed their world. Closing our eyes for a moment felt strange, for as we opened them right after a bright light appeared in front of us - as it touched us we felt a tremendous amount of pain, immediatly followed by pleasure. "Nenyana!" perhaps this seal had briefly halted the connection with out god, for we had not felt such pleasure in a long time.

"Welcome back my children, thank you for sharing your pain with me" Three huge smiles formed onto our faces as the light disappeared. We ha d felt something missing from the moment we had entered the old man's dream world and now we realized exactly what that was - because of the seal, our pleasure receptors had been completly burned, and with that the connection with our goddess.

How dares that man do this to us,this reward , while extraordinary, could not compare with the connection we felt towards nenyana. After laying there for some time we decided to finally leave that damned place, wherever it  was - since the three of us were completly naked , before departing we stole some of the clothes from the shop we h ad destroyed earlier, and as we held hands - we simply began walking forward.
