It began with a snake bite.

I remember the pain.
The acid like feeling flowing through my vein.

I remember the anger.
The feeling of chaos and danger.

I recall the war.
The bitter urge of wanting more.

Then there was a light.
He was who brought back the fight.

I couldn't turn away from evil flowing.
I couldn't stop his power from growing.

There was a battle between us.
There was darkness, blood, and dust.

My mind was clouded with the bitter voice.
I felt every will slip with every choice.

But then something came and pulled from inside me.
I blinked my eyes and it felt like I could finally see.

For awhile I felt like everything was done.
But the chaos had only begun.

There was death and my life lost its grip.
A sacrifice for my own horrible slip.

Floating in the deserted space.
No longer knowing the time or pace.

Then a voice appeared in the distance.
A loud booming tone like a an angry Wu for instance.

It was commanding and stirred something within.
I felt the good in me leave and the evil begin.

I'm back in this world now.
I don't understand everything somehow.

There's love and light so full of weakness.
But those acts don't affect them any less.

Who are these people with their bright prideful expressions?
Who is this boy with eyes somber with good intentions?

This child, a teenage being.
Has changed me somehow, in a way unseeing.

There's something in me, an empty void.
But it seems to be stirring, all because of a creature named Lloyd.
