The Entity of Contradictions

 Marco saw the same endless sea of darkness, and he recalled that he had met his sentient weapon in a similar place. Marco started looking around, he thought maybe he could find his sword again. He scanned the area until he saw something moving. He focused on trying his best to find movements or sounds in this endless stretch of darkness.

 Marco suddenly felt burning sensation in his chest, he looked down. Shock apparent on his paling face as a blade was seen protruding from his chest. "Hehehehehehe, you sure are a curious moron aren't you" Marco heard a condescending hiss coming from his back. Another laugh came from beside him, "Well what do you expect this guy has always been like this, he practically gave up his memories for a stupid reason."

 Hearing this remark Marco looked towards the direction of the voice, he wanted to find out more of his past but the sight he saw shocked him into silence. Eyes wide like saucers he looked at the mouth grinning condescendingly at him. What he saw were countless mouths and eyes beginning to pop up all over his body.

 Marco wanted to scream, he wanted to thrash about in panic but he felt that he couldn't move. His movements were sealed, all while his body was becoming the perfect picture of a Lovecraftian nightmare. He felt the blade slowly being pushed, his chest burned with pain. Feeling like a million ants were slowly tearing at his chest Marco could only let out a scream in pain.

 "Eh eh, shut up" As these words were spoken from the direction of his abdomen Marco's mouth immediately closed refusing to let a peep out. "Wow how the mighty have fallen, you used to be immensely feared, and now you are a weak nobody who can't even handle a little pain." Marco was in a state of limbo, he fell unconscious just to be woken up again by the extreme pain radiating from his chest.

 "We used to be a mighty king, but now we are so weak? Is it a memory issue? Pride? Why are you suddenly so weak" Voices debated the state of Marco until a deep groan was heard, I think we can give him back his memories. It could probably help with this disappointment. "Agreed!" voices came from all around.

 Eyes started forming in the void, they all looked at Marco's sad state the eyes glowed with power. All the eyes slowly darkened, eyes resembling his when he was extremely furious surround Marco. Marco's mouth fell open, the other mouths slowly choked up an arm each. These arms crawled towards Marco and one by one they entered his mouth, eyes, nose and ears. The pain of the appendages entering his ears was immense feeling his head being ripped open was not fun and this feeling only continued.

 As the arms entered one by one flashes of memories began to play in Marco's mind. In one piece of memory, he remembered fighting Ema on the battle field. He even saved her in the same fight as Ra performed a sneak attack. He saved her with the excuse of fighting her again another time, the reason at the time was legitimate but it was then that feelings grew for Ema.

 In another was Diya lying on his back and recounting being cast out of her pantheon and becoming the general of fog. It was an interesting story, a recount of how betrayal led to a super power being formed and the same fall with another betrayal leading her to find him. A beautiful yet extremely sad story of how someone lost everything only to regain and lose it again. He felt pride in how strong Diya was as he was thrown into another memory.
