An Accursed Power

-----

"I can feel your pain, Eustace…" Maria sighed, her power surging from within her, Lightning melded with Moonlight, sharp pink and purple-colored shocks of electricity surging from within her Divine Aura. "You died gruesomely, did you not?"

"RAAAARRRGH!"

Eustace was completely berserk, his sword clashing against Maria in a second, an explosion of darkness and black flames engulfed everything around them!

CRAAAAASSHH!!

The black smoke slowly dissipated, to reveal Eustace's blade being locked by Maria's bare hands, tightly stopping the blade from slicing through her soul.

"GRRRHHH… GRAAAH!"

Eustace had completely lost his sanity at this point, going utterly insane as he continued groaning and roaring like a rabid dog.

Maria tried to scout his soul but could only find an endless darkness and a sea of black flames, his memories deep within it.
