A Few Days Earlier

"...E-ehe...Jeez, This mist sure is Mystifying me!" Henry would say, Laughing just a little as if to cheer himself up...Then, suddenly gave a heavy-hearted sigh, as he clutched his black magic tome, walking deeper in. He himself wasn't even sure why he was doing this. Hell, He wished he could just go back home...But, At the same time. Something told him he had to..Someone was Calling to him. Curiosity caught the Crows tongue this time, as Henry walked forward into the mist, as the Crows that usually followed him, simply perched themselves outside, as if awaiting his return....

Neo Arcadia was, As Reported, Covered in a decently sized mass cloud of Fog, That was obscuring a  decent potion of the entire city.  This Fog had spread  wider, to where even the first street to enter Neo Arcadia was fogged over...To moment Black Mage waped inside, as his outline would appear, Suddenly He would find his warping circle Warping a Second time, as the symbol of Black Magic shifted, into something...Unknown.




Black Magic's Warp was Wrestled from him, and instead, warped him into the Fog...






It was with that, When Black Mage's  Warp would land him right ontop of a Rooftop, With a single downstairs door leading further into the unknown building her was just put on. All things considered, this building was semi-well sized, As the depth of the Fog was making it hard to see what made the town. However, With Black Mage's Perceptive eyes, he would be able to make out this was a...Rather Quaint little town, Excusing the Friend-stealing Fog. Didnt seem too upsetting, Until one made the quick realization that this was NOTHING like Neo Arcadia. And, As well, It was...Well, Deserted. Abandoned. Not a single person in sight...


In the distance, Black Mage could barely make out a pretty well made green-sign, reading...


"Welcome to Silent Hill"

[Coolshaymin]

Black Mage waited for his body to phase in from the Teleportation Spell so he could get to searching for Henry. He immediately noticed something was wrong as the flow of his magic and that around shifted. It seemed to loop in as it created a type of spell circle underneath him he certainly did not recogonize from his magic research. It seemed demonic in nature but he did not have much time to ponder that as his Warp immediately changed locations and he vanished from sight. The only sign he was there a moment ago was a word to anyone that may of been but probably weren't there to hear. "Oh, what the He-"

... "-ell?" Black Mage finished as he faded back into existence in some strange location. It was a little town, more "modern" than his fantasy towns, but not as big and over the top as the Life Sphere, and certainly not as futuristic as some of the locations on Li... Speaking of... "... I don't think I'm in Neo Arcadia anymore," Black Mage said... to apparently no one, as he was alone, and not even so much as a dog to make his movie reference to. "Oh, Silent Hill... Well, that explains the where. However..." the wizard began as his yellow eyes glowed towards the sign before looking down from the roof.

"It does not tell me WHY that spell put me on a roof!" He exclaimed in annoyance. On one hand, he was a master of elemental magic. He had plenty of spells that would provide him with a safe means down. However, this place clearly had some dark magic to it, and the last time he used a spell in radius of the place, it altered it's intended use. No telling if it could do that with any of his other spells and the last thing he needs is his Bubble suddenly turning into cold steel before he landed on it. And there were stairs leading down into the building, obviously the town wanted him to go that way. Refusing the town's wishes when it could interfere with his magic was probably a really poor decision.

"... Into the building it is then. I'll play along for now," Black Mage decided as he gave one last look to the rooftop to see if he could not anything else before moving towards the staircase. He made sure to listen, not really trusting this place despite not knowing much about it. Towns that could magically change your spell properties were usually a good way to get a mage to distrust you.

[PolarStarQuote]

And so, The Choice was made to descend the staircase of the building, and enter inside...

When Black mage made his way down stairs, He would see find that, he was on the Roof of a General Store. There were various shelves, Littered with Cans of Soda, Snacks, Candies, That would slowly progress into more Non-perishable things, such as Motor Oil for cars, or Tools for a Handyman. And, a small shelf on the wall, which was displaying many Post Cards, Displaying a pleasant little resort town not unlike this one, With titles reading like "Hello from Silent Hill!" Or "Come Visit Silent Hill with us!", In bright white lettering.

Whatever it was, Going by the olden-packaging on most of these items, as well as the scent of Rot and Expiration from most of them, Especially from the Dairy Section, Miiight not be the best idea. Not to mention, a Sudden Rat or Spider crawling about carrying another small Chocolate or Chip, Was less than appetizing. The entire front desk was wiped clean of any possible Machinery or Money, Before Black Mage could decide to loot from the dead, All he'd find were Cobwebs and lost dreams. Couldn't even activate the gap pumps outside to try and set everything on fire.


Once Black Mage decided to exit this Small Store, He would suddenly find himself hearing something in the distance...It sounded like someone was talking, from deep within the Fog, And it seemed unintelligible at first, Until the sound began to...Come closer? As soon as it came closer, Black Mage could hear a bit of distortion from it, As if it were coming out of a Stereo...

"Hey, Padre! The other day, i was in my local super market, and i dropped a great big bag of chips on the floor! It made a HUGE mess, Until suddenly, I went out of my way to say "Oops, Im sorry, It was a Snack-cident!"

...And soon, from the Mist, carrying a small radio that seemed to be tuned to some kind of Obnoxious jokes channel, Black Mage would find..



A 6 Year old girl, With long white hair, Red eyes, and a rather...Passive expression. She would walk with her Radio in hand, Gulping as she looked up at black mage, Starting to shake. "...A..Are you one of the monsters...? Y-you arnt...You arnt running away...." She would say in a Shaky voice, Taking a step back, as if about to run away in fear...Now, Black mage could, of course, Scare this girl off....But considering his situation, where even he doesn't know where to begin, a friendly face like this may be his way out. She seemed to want to trust him, at least...Something resonated with her about Black Mage. As if he were a friendly face.

[Coolshaymin]

Black Mage stepped down the stairs, hesitantly at first but speeding up when he could not sense any presence aside small rodents and arachnids. Even channeling his magic lowly he could make short work of the vile creatures of this place. Not that he had access to most of his higher level spells aside Necromancer's. He looked at all the wasted food and lack of stock and picked up pretty fast that either, A. This place was one of the most unpopular stores in it's world, or B. this was a ghost town. He was a bit more confident in that second answer given how the lack of signs of sentient life was pretty clear. Not to mention the dark magic that brought him here would lead to anything but a pleasant town. He looked at the abandoned shelves and merchandise for a moment and then to the cash register. Did not seem like anything here was going to be worth scavenging anyway.

Deciding he had enough of this building's disgustingness, he walked out and looked around at the surroundings. Even though this town was not too big, it would still be a big problem looking for Henry, especially with how little he knows of this place. However, that train of thought was cut short as the sounds of some device caught the mage's attention. It sounded like... a joke Henry would make. That signal was soon able to be made out as something being held by a small girl who seemed to be afraid of him but did not run immediately noticing he was not scared of... the radio presumingly... Man, almost forgotten what it feels like to be referred to as a monster....

Black Mage thought for a second, before doing something he nearly never does... Cuts off his voice distortion spell so his normal high pitched voice spoke to the girl to aide in not scaring her off. He wasn't going to accomplish anything if he was cold to everyone that could help in a situation he could not even begin... Besides this girl was... alright to him. Almost familiar... "I am not a monster. Just a traveler looking for a friend. Don't worry, I won't harm you," Black Mage reassured... unusually calm and comforting in tone despite his normal disposition, though the girl does not need to know that. "That radio of your's scares off monsters?... Do you know the voice on the radio?" Black Mage asked after a moment, not making any moves towards her, and not trying to look threatening... Though he was not going to go as far as removing his hat and cloak of darkness. Some secrets must never be revealed after all.

[PolarStarQuote]

The Little Girl, Seming to be able to tel Black Mage was telling the truth, stopped her moving backwards as she slowly nodded her head. "Your looking for someone too...? I got lost somewhere around here..." The girl said, nodding as she looked down to her old Radio, which crackled a little as the voice on the other side seemed to fade out, as The little girl tried to adjust the anttanae on it to try and pick up the station once again. "I-it does...Only if it's on a Channel, Though...So far, that joke channel is the only one i can pick up, B-but it changes sometimes..." She says, as she seemed to panic, More and more trying to get the the Channel to the proper one.


The Little Girl would suddenly be completely stopped as she panicked, eyes widening as she was trying to jiggle the antenna, Trying desperately to get it back to talking. "U-uhm...Come on, come on, please dont turn off, please, please!!" She would yell loudly in a panic, Starting to tear up as She would stop, As the radio suddenly tuned out, As the static would end and quietness would parade the air...

"...Hey Padre! Did you hear about the Broken Submarine? It didnt go down well!"

The Girl would take in a shaky, deep breath of relief as she sighed, Holding the radio tighter. "Its...Its on again, O-okay..." She would say, looking at Black Mage. "Uhm....I dont know who the voice on the radio is. He doesnt really sound familiar..." She would say, as the Voice on the radio would sound pretty unfamiliar to Black Mage either, being a Deeper, More Ethnic sounding voice, as if they originated from Soulth America.


"Oh, U-uhm...Im..Im Lilliane...But everyone at school calls me Lilly. Who are you..."

[Coolshaymin]

"Hm...Wonder why they are afraid of the sound of it..." Black Mage muttered to himself as he looked to the radio. That was a strange thing for monsters to be scared of, but apparently they were afraid of the radio and not the terrible puns from what the girl is saying. Suddenly though the radio started to tune off and Black Mage looked to his gloved palm for a moment. There... isn't really a spell he could use to help fix that, is there? He wasn't exactly familiar with this type of technology, a lot of his intelligence was for Magical things. Fortunately the radio turned back on before he would have to try a Thunder Spell to jolt it awake.

"Not to me either. Sounds like a channel my friend would like is all. He has a thing for puns," Black Mage explains as he stepped a bit closer now that she seemed to trust him. "I go by Black Mage, but my friends just call me BM. Nice to meet you, Lilly. I am looking for a man in a cloak, white hair, wears purple, has a habit of making puns... Never opens his eyes," The mage introduced and explained. "Do you know anything of this town? I never heard of a Silent Hill?" BM asked, he was not sure the girl would, being lost and all, but he had to try something.

[PolarStarQuote]

The Little girl smiled, just a little, her lips curling into a happy smile as she looked up to meet Black Mage's Glowing eyes. "Oh...! Beamy!" She said, Giggling a little in a childish way. "Cause Beamy has B and a M in it...And you look like one of those guys from a Cartoon who shoot beams at people!" She said, Guessing right on the money what Black Mage's deal was, At least. She Looked down upon Henry describing Henry.



"Erm...Noo...I dont think i know anyone like that..." She would say, shaking her head. "The only person besides you who isnt a monster, that i know of is Papa..." She would say, seeming to trail off in a Negative way...Seems she didnt really care much for her Father. She looked up, and shook her head.



"Well...All i know is that my Papa said, he met my Mama here. But, I never met my Mama, So...I wouldnt know. He just drove us over here, And...Thats that." She would say, Looking asides, as if she were sorry for not having any helpful answers for black mage.
 "And when he got us here...He just kinda sat me outside, And went into the..Uhm...The Woman Place, And left me outside. A-and i found this one Purple Book, with alot of weird writings inside, And a Birdy on the cover!" Lilly would say, suddenly producing a--



Wait a second, This was Henry's Tome, which he casts all his magic from! How on earth-- Never mind that, Seems there was a good place on where to start! "And then, T-the Monsters came, and i got scared, a-and ran off...A-and then, i wound up bumping into this radio, And...M-met you, Mister Beamy..."

---

Radio's Joke of the Post;

"Hey Padre! I looked up in the Sky and saw a Cloud in the air! It was wearing Pants! You know what they call that? Thunderwear!"

[Coolshaymin]

Black Mage's eye twitched a little at the Little Girl's nickname for him. Fortunately, she was not able to see the look on his face very well aside from his glowing eyes. "Well, I guess you're not wrong. You can call me that," Black Mage relented after a moment, deciding there were worst nick names he could be called. Though, she did not seem to know who Henry was to the wizard's dismay. Well, there goes avoiding searching an entire town for one bird. The girl also seemed opposed to her father which... kind of made Black Mage feel for her a bit. Probably best to not put him on list of idiots to destroy just yet, but he's getting there.

"Well, probably better with me than him if he'd just leave you by yourself in a town of monsters," Black Mage responded, a hint of bitterness to whoever her father was. Sheesh, BM, you did not even know the guy. "Wait, that book-!" Black Mage looked closer and... there was no doubt about it. This was Henry's most precious tomes. "That book belongs to my friend. Could you show me where you found it? I think it's best if you stick with me for now," Black Mage requested, maybe where the book was dropped held signs to where Henry was.

[PolarStarQuote]

The Girl happily nodded, Starting to turn around and walk, Taking alot of time to look at each individual stop sign and street light, as if it were a Semi-bread crumb trail for the girl to know where to head back to, occasioally looking behind to make sure Black Mage was still by her side, before making her way to what looked to be a...Raunchy looking building, with boarded up windows and a ripped apart sign that only had the first letter "H' in plain sight. The girl simply walked in, Expecting him to follow..

Ohhh. Okay. I see. This was a Horrible smelling Strip club, with the name "Heaven Night" Sprinkled about in various area's. The bar was empty, the chairs were rotted, So, Was probably not gonna be a show tonight, to potential dismay. The Girl pointed at a Table and Chair. "I was sitting here...And the book was on this table." She said, looking up at Black Mage with curiosity...It didnt seem like this was going to give him much in terms of  knowledge.

That was, Until the Girl's Radio, Would cut out, Replaced by Static. The Girl's eyes widened, starting to fiddle with the Radio's antannae once more in a panic...Until Black Mage could hear a faint, Whimpering noise behind him. "M...am....aa.......Maaamm....aaa....."

Worms. Grotesque, Ropes of Perverted Flesh, There heads replaced by what looked to be the faint image of a Infants crying face, as it rolled around, struggling to so much as move, as it whined for its mother, Something that would never come. The Monsterous Worms tryed to slime its way across the room, But would be ultimately unable to, as its own body seemed unable to move well on its own...

Lilly, however, was stopped, Outright tearing up and crying in fear at the sight of these horrible monsters, Cupping her mouth until suddenly, A Spray of Vomit emerged from her mouth, falling to the floor in horrible anxiousness of looking at those monsters. The Radio continued to static louder while these monsters were here...

[Coolshaymin]

The hero of light, Black Mage, followed the girl into the town patiently, watching as she observed every stop and light to find her way. He could not help but smile a bit under the darkness, bringing some light to this girl's heart in these dark times... Still, was she from Li? It would not line up with the story she gave him considering the events that was given to him did not really match up with Li or how he got here... There wasn't exactly much he could do to contemplate that however as they came to a... club... Wait, the small girl was actually IN here?

Honestly, a show was on the bottom of the Mage's thoughts, more focused on this girl and Henry. He followed the girl to the table, and expected it for a moment... Unfortunately, he was not getting any further clues. He was about to give up and figure out a new course of action until there was a cry for... mama. He quickly turned around to see small wormlike creatures trying to move towards them and the radio falling to static. Black Mage lifted a hand and prepared a fire spell to burn them... until he noticed something. "... Hm? They are not... going anywhere..." he noted, mostly to himself... These creatures were... pathetic, like pathetic worms that must be defended like... babies... The mage hesitated as these thoughts seemed to resonate something in him for a moment. Did... these monsters mean something?

However, the sound of vomit and the girl falling behind him brought him to his senses. It did not matter, these were monsters, and given how pathetic they are supposed to be, one firey blast should burn them all to leave them alone. "Fire!" Black Mage called as a magic circle formed under him and he shot a concentrated fireball to explode on the group and incinerate them, without leaving fire to burn the place down. He waited until the light and smoke cleared to see if the monsters were gone due to his spell.  He did not even consider how the kid may react to his magic, it being fairly common from where he was from as long as you learned it.

[PolarStarQuote]

When Black Mage's furious spell was flung, the usual spell would suddenly be surrounded by the Sigil, Just the same as Black Mage's Warp Spell was Covered in that same Sigil! However, Just as if nothing happened, The Fireballs would slam into the Worms, as they all caught fire like Pieces of fire Wood, Lighting up and Screeching in high pitched pain, Screaming loud enough to make the shelves of the Club rattle, Before there smoldering bodies would release a Pungent, Sickening odor, Until they would be reduced to little more than Ash and decay...

A Horrible Weight falls on everyones shoulders...


The Girl would look up, Shaking as the Radio's Static would fade off, and eventually return to the Channel of Jokes and Laughter, as the Voice would read off some more obnoxious Puns. The Girl would look up at Black Mage, Shaking still. "I-i...uhm...I need to clean up!" She would speak slowly, before suddenly running off to the Restrooms! She even managed to get into the Men's Room, Despite being a Girl. Suppose that removes most nervousness from black mage. Inside, the Girl would run a Sink, which Amazingly, was still running, As she splashed water on herself in a Attempt to clean up her Vomit off of herself, Sighing.

"I-i...I ran away from this club, b-because of those things..A-and...And..." The Girl would start to tear up. It was clear this place's Emotional exhaustion and Horrific imagery was tearing at this girl. She wasnt even sure Black Mage was inside, but, Perhaps it'd be best if he followed her...


However, Upon looking at the Mirror, Black mage may actually find something quite interesting...




Staring right at them, Henry would look at them  both with a strange, Unusually happy smile, Henry would then Point to the Stalls behind the Mirror, Particularly the Last one, as the door would open in the Mirror...The Girl, however, Didnt seem to see anything. It was as if Henry were giving them a Clue.

---

Pun of the Post

"Hey Padre! I heard the Soda Factory's Power Generator 'Fizz'-led out!"

[Coolshaymin]

Black Mage fired his fire spell at the worms and watched as... That same sigil as before covered his flame technique and he was went to brace himself for some kind of magical backfire... Only for nothing to happen except the intended result of incinerating those infernal monsters to whatever Hell they came from. They gave him imagery he was not a big fan of and he enjoyed watching them burn. Even their terrible screaming and terrible smell left behind as they burned alive did not phase the dark wizard. Instead, he felt a sense of power and accomplishment from scorching the vile beasts a cinder. His violent tendencies, especially towards Evil, allowing him to relish the moment these foolish and hideous beasts were destroyed by his power... Still, not everything was satisfactory this time as images of his friends flashed through his mind and his golden eyes closed and disappeared from sight as his destructive nature and the feeling of the monsters he got caused a moment to spark in him as the static on the radio ceased as the monster's presence was no longer causing an interference.

He hung his head down for a moment solemnly as he wondered if those monsters had any connection to Henry too. The struck magician watched the girl as she declared the need to clean up and rushed to the bathrooms... Specifically the ones designated for Males. "... I should probably check on her..." Beamy acknowledged as he looked to the radio... probably wash away some of his troubles as well. The destructive mage picked up the radio and carried it to the bathroom as he noticed the girl seeming in poor shape. This girl reminded him so much of other things... Looks like he should make it up to her. BM sat down the radio nearby and walked over to the girl and placed his gloved hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry you have to go through this. It must be a lot for you seeing all this. Those monsters are pretty hideous huh? Don't worry about it, I will protect you from any that come too close. Beamy is here to watch over you and he fully intends to do that, so don't worry too much, Lilly," he offered sincerely, not showing this much kindness to anyone in a really long time.

However, when he looked up he noticed something... Henry's appearance was inside the mirror and pointing to one of the stalls, which opened in turn... Looks like there was some form of clue here after all. "Wait here and clean up," Black Mage insisted, walking over to the stall and looking first before he would call the girl over. Can't put her into too much risk and this town was not giving him much reason to trust it... Not that he had any feeling it should have any intent of doing so.

[PolarStarQuote]

"Lets see..." Henry would stand at his own attention somewhere far away, Currently Unknown to either Black Mage or Lilly, As Henry would tilt his head, looking at a Strange Map, Torn apart into various peices...Henry would sigh, Folding it. "I was just here a moment ago...And this place Looks familiar, but its completely upside-down..." Henry would say, heaving a heavy sigh as he would turn around...


*Crrrrrrnk.....Crrrrink...*


"H-huh?? Oh Grima--!" Henry would suddenly duck into a Corner, Hiding around his Cloak as, he watched a Figure slowly walk by...






A Beast,  Feminine in Body, But Dawning a Rusted, Horrific Device upon her head, Which was sealed tight shut. Her single leg protruding from her Sheet-metal made dress,  The Jagged metal occasionally scraping her femininely soft skin and causing it to bleed, as she walked along, using the Rusted Metal Stave to hold herself up like a Walking stick. The woman wore only a Bit of cloth over her chest, held in by Nails into her skin...

"W-wha...A...A Woman...Wearing some kind of armor? She's...I...W-why..." Henry would mumble to himself, holding his head as his eyes would slowly open, as if to get a better look at this Maiden, Drawn by some strange, unknown force that begged him...Look at her. Look at her. Why wouldnt you look at her? She's someone so dear..."M..M...--?!"

This was only met by the Pyramid Woman to turn around, a Sigil Dawning onto her hand, As a Fireball, Not unlike the one Black Mage used to Vanquish the worms of before, Was brought to her hand. Henry's eyes widened, As the Fire was sent right to him, Engulfing his Cloak in Fire as Henry's back was Horrifically scorched, Causing him to throw off the Cloth in a Fit, Reaching up to...Nothing. Nothing at all...It was as if the Woman who just attacked him never existed...

(Mission Mechanic; The Sorceress. When Black Mage uses a Spell against the Monsters of Silent Hill, The Sorceress will hunt Henry down in the Dark World, And attempt to harm him with that exact same Spell. If Henry is killed, Black Mage will recieve the Bad Ending, and the mission will Fail. Due to this being the first introduction, Henry will take reduced damage for Fairness and Introductions sake.)

Henry would Take a deep breath, watching his Cloak Smolder into nothing, as he shuddered. "W-w...what a....a....J-jeez, I cant even make a pun out of this...I really am burned out...H-heh, Nevermind." Henry said, Seeming to think nothing of this, And simply proceeding on. It was as if the very encounter was washed from his mind...

Henry HP: 121%/130%

Upon seeing Black Mage, Lilly tensed for a moment, Gulping as he held her shoulder...Only to hear him graciously accept the nickname she made for him, And to Protect her. So much so, she wouldnt even have to think about such disgusting beasts again. She seemed Tensive again, at first...But slowly turned to a Smile, And nodded,  Holding onto Black Mage's hand for protection for a moment. "...T-thank you Beamy...Y-you have a really menacing face...B-but, Your really nice, You know that?" She would say, Smiling happily as she nodded, and continued to clean up, Taking a bit more time than she was a moment ago in her panic.


As Black Mage would open the Door to the Last Stall, Upon taking hold of the Door and pulling it open, a Sudden, Unforseen Darkness would wash over the Black Magic Practitioner, As his vision would be taken over, by a unforseen force...

(I put this under a Readmore cause, Even i was a little unnerved by what i wrote. If the thought of little kid henry getting doused in boiling water from some Orphanage kids at a Small Campsite and left to suffer by his mother by order of his Father is too much for you, There's a short summary of what happened.)

SPOILER: Click to show

A Plegian Forest. The Sound of a Babbling, Crooked Brook would be heard, As Black Mage would be able to feel himself as a Bit of a Translucent force. It was as if he were there, Yet, His feet didnt touch the ground. It was Clear. He was an Observer. Not a Participant. Black Mage would find a thick slab of Stone to his surrounding area, and infront of him, a Rather...Strange looking sight.

A Campfire, Which was currently boiling a small pot of Water to the point it was evaporating into steam almost immediately. There was also a few  Tents, and in the distance, a Large Mansion, Overlooking the forest. It would be Boring, if not for suddenly, from the Woodwork, A White Haired Child, No more than 12 years old, With eternally shut eyes would barrel forth, trying his best to run, as if it were for his very life. In a Rush, Three more boys, One with Short, Black Hair, Another with Shaggy Red Hair, and another with Dirty Blonde Dreadlocks would follow after him, The Red Head and the Dreaded boys grabbing henry's meek frame and Holding him down onto the ground.

"W-wait, No no no no, P-please, Im sorry i told her you killed her kitten! I-i just--" The Young White Hair Boy would yell, Kicking his legs frantically as the Black Haired boy, Grabbing the Pot of Boiling, Killing water would walk over, Angrily gripping the handle as he stood over henry. " Whats that stutter mouth?? Just-Just-Just, Shut up Henry! You told Cillia that i like her, And you told her about that stupid cat!" The Boy would yell, Holding the Water over henry, as Henry's Shut eyes would suddenly shoot open, Squirming harder than he ever had before!

"W-wait, Wait, Wait, No no no no!!!! I-im sorry, I-ill tell Cillia it was a Lie, D-dont--"

*FSSSSHHH*


With a sudden drop, the steaming hot water and burned iron pot would drop on Henry's Right Shoulder, as the boys let go suddenly, Henry would scream in a loud agony, to make all the crows in the forest fly off, Flying into the Skies above as Henry squirmed and threw off his wet shirt, His Skin blistering and bright red as third degree burns tore up his fragile body. The Kids would watch as Henry ran around, trying to find something to help cool his wound...But nothing. Nothing but the cold hard rocks as he curled up, Crushed and pained by this agony.


"Hey! You three, Get the hell away from him!" A Sudden voice would call, as the kids would suddenly bolt, fearing the reprimand of a sudden, Adult Presence in the midst, As they ran and flee'd into the woods. The Adult Woman, Dressed in a A-typical  Plegian Black Dress, With long, Snow White hair, would run over to Henry, Eyes widened in shock, As Henry looked up to see the Woman. It was almost immediately, Henry recognized her, as he crawled to her, Meekly whimpering out the words. "M...Mama...! Mama!!!" He would yell in pain, as the woman drew a Blue tome, Clearly some form of Water or Ice to help ease the burn...Until suddenly, it was stopped, as a Flux Spike pierced the tome, as a new figure closed in.

An Adult, Dresed in Mages Clothing, and Dark, Short hair would grab Henry's Mother, pulling her away from him. 

"Every Dark Mage needs to yearn a hatred for the world...They need to yearn for Pain, And anguish. Look. Look upon our son...Do you see how he looks now? That will be what he looks like for the rest of his life, if you keep doing nothing but pamper him with your affection. It should be earned. Not handed out like Dinner." The Man would say, as he stared down at Henry, Who, would only stare at this, Anguish painted on his face, as his eyes would be shocked to his very soul.

"...This is why you were brought to this orphanage, Henry. As a Mage, you should of been able to kill those children before they even hurt you. And now look at you...Whimperinng, Laying in the Filth...Enjoy what you Wrought. If you can make your way back home, Clothe and Sleep yourself. If i find you allowed yourself a nights dinner after this pathetic display, next time will be by my own hand..." The Dark Mage of Henry's father would say, as he turned back, Walking away, Expecting Henry's Mother to Follow...As she only took a second worried glance to her child, Who was sobbing himself into a fetal position...Before continuing forth, Lest she be abused herself.

....In a flash, Black Mage's vision of one of Henry's Many Abuses would end, as he would be greeted by a Eery sight.

(Under the spoiler; A Horrific looking monster that resembles a Crow.

SPOILER: Click to show

A Naked, Burnt and Seared Man, Severe burn marks all across its skin, with a ghastly looking  agony across its face. It resembled a Crow in its head, a Massive, Skin-crafted Beak with its open mouth, And Tounge layed out. This beast was far beyond dead, and it seemed that Lilly was not able to see what was inside, what with her Cleaning. The Monster would sit in the floor, Looking up at Black Mage, Until suddenly its head would creak downward, and a Solid, Cylinder of Metal and Paper would flop out of its mouth and onto the floor, Rolling to Black Mages feet.




A Black Scroll, Made of Black Paper and Black Metal. It eminated a Dark, Dreadfull Aura...But not a Unfamiliar one. No, Surprisingly, This Scroll eminated a Aura akin to the same that Henry's dark Magic would create...It was as if it were Tied to Henry Itself. The Image of  a Crow eminated Red on the Scroll, Beckoning Black Mage to take it.

[Coolshaymin]

The dark wizard felt some warm feeling at the small girl calling him nice. He doesn't get that compliment often and for good reason since he usually pushed people away. Now, to see what was in that stall... And that would be darkness clouding his vision and giving him a view of some events... That child there reminded him of Henry funnily enough as he was.... treated super harshly by a group of kids. That looked really painful and Black Mage felt some rage at witnessing this. Real rage as he wanted to cast a spell but he knew he shouldn't. The world was doing something with his magic and he can't really harm a vision. This was a view of the past and something that he could not touch. This was something the Black Mage realized.

Still, that was not the worst thing to come out of this. A woman looked like she was prepared to heal the boy's wounds but a man made her stop... Obviously out of fear on the woman's part that she did stop. So, this was all about being a strong wizard, huh? Yeah, as if that is anyway to train someone like that. Black Mage made villains suffer but they deserve what he put them through. This small mage did not deserve that... Not Henry...

And then he was back in the bathroom. Looking at some bird corpse. He took a look over his shoulder to check if the girl was still there. Thankfully she did not seem to see what was in the stall. On it's person was a scroll that put off a magic similar to Henry's that the mage easily identified. He quickly made a hand to swipe for the scroll. Whatever this scroll was, he felt it important otherwise the vision would not appear here nor would the mirror pointed it out to him. It was basic laws of magic.

Lily seemed to not peer into the Stall At all, As she would await Black Mage to emerge, before taking the Radio in stride, and taking hold of the door handle, and trying to Open it...Only to find the door is Locked. Lily would gasp  suddenly, Looking at Black Mage. "T-the door wont open!" Lily would scream to Black Mage, as the door seemed to be sealed shut, as the world would begin to creak and Twist, As the Metal on the Pipes would Oxidize and Rust over in a matter of moment, Causing Lily to Cover her mouth, As the Mirror would go bright with the image of That strange, Occultist symbol that messed with Black Mage's Magic...



The Strong, Stinging smell of Rust would permiate the Air, as Everything began to fall apart, and the distant sound of grinding gears and metal clanging could be heard. The door would suddenly be opened with a Suspicious Unlocking noise, allowing Lily and Black Mage out of this Hellish Bathroom, To see what had became of Heavens Night.



It appeared the Raunchy, Horrific Strip club had been transitioned into a Mere Run Down house, a Living room of sorts, as Lily would look out a Window, to see, while the world was so incredibly dark, A Feint image could be seen in the distances. Three Notable Buildings. A Circus, A School, and a Church. It seemed like those were the most notable places, Emanating a slight red light, as Lily looked at Black Mage.

"...B-beamy...I-im...Im scared...W-where are we?" She would say, Whimperingly...
