100 List Challenge: Insanity



The Crying Traveler
The stabbing. The pain. The blood. Death.

Over and over and over again.

And Nakh was helpless to save him.

He screamed in agony as the scene played over and over again, reminded him of his failure to save his beloved. Tears poured out of his crimson eyes as he watched the endless scene of his beloved's death.

"Stop it! Stop it!" Ellokh shouted at the white-haired lady. "What are you doing to him?! Stop it!"

"Do you not see what he sees as well?" the lady asked curiously.

"No, of course not! What are you doing to him?!"

"Interesting. So you are the first who blind to my illusions. I am going to have so much fun with you."

Love of the Damned
Thilius moaned and groaned, tossing and turning in his sleep. Faira was awakened by his night terrors and softly shook him.

"Thili? Thili, wake up, Thili. Wake up."

Thilius shot up and screamed himself awake. Faira quickly held him in a comforting way.

"You're having night terrors again."

"I can't...I can't stop the nightmares...They keep coming back...Me, chained and burned whenever I failed a mission...It's driving me insane...!"

"It's OK, Thili," Faira said as he hugged his beloved. "It's OK. Don't worry about it. It's all over now. You're here with me. I will never let you suffer the way you did, ever."

Fighting back his tears of agony, he eased into his angel's hug. If only it were that simple...

A/N:

The white-haired lady is an Illusionist Vampiress, in which she would drive her victims insane with their worse nightmares using her illusion powers until they beg for mercy and death before sucking them dry of their blood. To her, blood driven by insanity is the best tasting ever.

But somehow, Ellokh had the ability to resist and not able to see her illusions, somehow discovered quite by accident and his resistance perked her interest. Of course, before she could do Ellokh in, vampire hunters were at the scene and captured her, tearing her to pieces and burn her on the stake (the only way to kill a vampire like her)

Thilius, on the other hand, occasionally would get night terrors of all the horrors he had been through as a servant of Hell. Whenever he made a mistake or failed a mission, he was subjected to a day's burning chained to the ground with no means of escape. It was torture for him and sometimes it was hard for him to get over it. Luckily he has his angel by his side to comfort him
