Angantyr crashed out of the corridor of darkness, the darkness in the portal accelerated the change, the glowing mark on his forehead reminded him that LEXUS was watching, but Angantyr couldn't bring himself to care...pain was shooting up his arm from where he was injected, having done the deed himself. He had willing traded his life for Avira’s...she did not deserve to pay for his crimes, things he had done that helped the shadow lords.

The thoughts of repentance were far from his mind now, as he rolled onto his back, the beach was a familiar one. He found it while trying to shake off Arcadian military once. It was a special cove, hard to get to and useless for anything involving boats. It was mostly untouched, the sea he could hear coming in and out, the moon falling down on him as he looked up at it. The pain in his arm slowly started to spread.

Still, he had grabbed his Ma Belle and punched in Avira’s number. He was at least going to give her peace of mind and body.

<Radio> [To: Avira] Angantyr Vespar says, "A-Avira..."

<Radio> [To: Angantyr Vespar] Avira says, "Angantyr?"

<Radio> [To: Avira] Angantyr Vespar says, "...The cure is being made. LEXUS said it will be delivered when it is."

<Radio> [To: Angantyr Vespar] Avira says, "W...but...really? H...how?"

<Radio> [To: Avira] Angantyr Vespar says, "...Someone had to take your place."

<Radio> [To: Angantyr Vespar] Avira says, "...who did..oh no. No. NO! Angantyr, you didn't!"

Angantyr’s right hand was completely covered in shadow at this point. The pain was excruciating. He could feel the darkness within him spilling out through it, burning like a cold flame all the way up the arm as it continued to shift, the arm monstrous in form.

<Radio> [To: Avira] Angantyr Vespar says, "I...made a promise...and I intend to keep it. Just...get the cure, live a happy life. Forget about me."

<Radio> [To: Angantyr Vespar] Avira says, "But what about you?!"

<Radio> [To: Avira] Angantyr Vespar says, "What about me?"

<Radio> [To: Angantyr Vespar] Avira says, "You can't become one of those things for him!"

<Radio> [To: Avira] Angantyr Vespar says, "...I am not doing it for him. I am doing it for you!"

Angantyr closes his eyes, the burning continued into his chest, spreading down into his stomach. The fire burned, the muscles tightened as the shadow infection seemed to spread like wildfire. His chest started to bulge, starting to tighten against the armor. He already started to remove the metal from his body, placing the phone down and finally the armor coming lose after some trying...the claw tearing through the armor as if it were paper. Angantyr fell back towards the sand again.

<Radio> [To: Avira] Angantyr Vespar says, "...Now do what I say...and goodbye."

<Radio> [To: Angantyr Vespar] Avira says, "...no! No, I'm not going to say goodbye to you!"

<Radio> [To: Avira] Angantyr Vespar no response.

<Radio> [To: Angantyr Vespar] Avira says, "Angantyr! ANGANTYR!!! Don't...I still need you..."

The phone dropped from his hand as the other hand started to burn with shadow. He pushed the button that ended the call. It was all he could do to last this long. His eyes opened, a glowing yellow replacing his normal dark orbs. And then...

And then the transformation wracked him. All he could do is scream in agony, and the moon just shined down. Leaving him to the torture of his own body eating him inside out.
