Shadows Reborn
My mind appears from the shadows
Surrounded by the body of something
Something seeming only human
Human only skin deep
A long blade crosses my chest
Slicing open the human flesh
A terrible roar leaves my throat
Only to be stopped by sealed lips
Blood seeps out the gash
Spilling down my flesh
Immortality vanished with the slash
Then my body drops to the floor
I take in my dying breath
My body burns from the inside
As darkness seeps from the wound
Then it consumes my slayer
Sliding into its victim
The darkness takes control
As control returns
I see from new eyes
