Harmonia walks out to her backyard, sitting on the grass and sighing. The trees in front of her begin to warp slightly. She looks up. "Tree moment"
Red vines begin to grow out of the ground, wrapping around the trees.
"Oh. That's not. good." She looks pretty concerned!
The foliage begins to slowly turn red as the sky turns into upside-down red trees, appearing like the geography has folded in on itself. Harmonia's breathing quickens and she stands up, looking back at the house. There's nothing there but a b̶̼̈o̶̎͘t̷̡t̶̖͘o̷̊̆m̴̊̔l̸̐͂ế̴ṣ̷̍ŝ̸̚ ̵͊͂p̸̤̓ḯ̶t̴́̎.
Harmonia finds herself standing in the Crimson Forest, in front of what appears to be a large pit. The walls of the pit seem to be constructed with a flesh-like substance, and she can't see the bottom.
Harmonia's breathing picks up in panic and she turns. the opposite way, trying to run away. The plantlife surrounding the pit is too thick to get through. Screams emanate from the pit. Harmonia is panicking and clings to the plants in an attempt to not fall into the pit. Across the pit, she can see something standing in the trees. It appears to be a constituent dromen, with a seam across its face. It tilts its head, staring down into the pit. Harmonia watches it, shaking a bit. The seam opens, spindly, finger-like limbs coming out and pulling it more open, emitting a scream. The dromen's form begins to glitch as it throws itself into the pit.
"W-what the fuck is this-" Harmonia's more scared then she wants to admit. She grasps at the plants but she slips, falling into the pit herself. She screams as she does so. She falls for a while, at least ten minutes. She screams for a while before just giving in and falling silently.
...
...
...
And then she hits something. Water(?). It's some sort of liquid. Around her is an empty, dark red sky covering what looks like a wasteland. It's mostly rocks and strange sludge, as well as small puddles of water. She swims to land, trying to get out and look around. There's nothing. Just rocks, sand, sludge, some ponds and puddles. It's empty.
Or, it would be. She hears a low rumble coming from somewhere. Hard to tell where, everything looks the same.
She just starts walking, shaking and shivering. "What the fuck..." It occurs to her that she left her phone back in her room. Fuck. A loud crash is heard from somewhere, more screams as well. There's a TV lodged inside a rock. It displays a distorted image of.. something, and is playing the same audio over and over.
A distorted, "I'm sorry-- what?"
She approaches the tv and tries to knock on it.
"Ĥ̶̛A̴̒̏Ř̶̛M̷̓͠O̶̒̍N̷̿̔Ì̷͝A̵̋̍ ̵̓̊R̸͒̍Ȇ̸̈́E̴͐̾D̴̃͋S̸̑͒" The TV shuts off and promptly combusts.
Harmonia screams and scrambles back in fear, looking around to see if anythings changed. The ground begins to shift slightly. It begins to snow-- or... no, that's not snow. That's salt. The air becomes cold and dry. She can see trees in the distance, evergreens. Though, they appear more like a dark blue. She coughs and gets up, trying ro run towards the trees. The trees smell horrible. Like rotting. Rotting flesh. The further she walks, the more she begins to notice carcasses hanging from the trees. Not just humans and demons and animals, a lot of entities are there. Rakes, Dromen, not-deer, nightcrawlers, flatwoods monsters. Most things you could think of.
She gags and immediately starts running in the opposite direction, wondering if this was a dream or real. Something that sounds like fireworks are heard as Harmonia soon finds herself approaching a large mountain range covered in salt. She looks at it, feeling defeated as she continues toward it, slowing to a walk. The fireworks grow louder, seemingly somewhere behind Harmonia. She looks behind her to try and see them. A large beast stands behind her, appearing very similar to Abaddon. Actually... no, no this IS Abaddon.
Their forms are exactly the same, aside from this one wearing a dark suit, its torso whole. Its face has a carapace of obsidian, resembling a skull, as the horns are much longer and sharper. All of its eyes have been replaced with mouths full of sharp teeth, each one screaming in a different tongue, resulting in the firework-like noise.
Her upper-right hand holds a dead star, while the rest are free. Its wings seem as though they're made of pure obsidian, aside from the mouths. The sigil of Abaddon is on a patch on their suit.
"H̴̾͘a̶̽̈́r̵̉̀m̸͉͗o̵̦͌n̷͂̍i̷͆̓á̷̈."
Her eyes widen in fear, terror rocking her body as she starts sprinting in the opposite direction, freaking the fuck out. The mountain range begins folding in on itself as Harmonia runs, Abaddon chuckling as he walks slowly behind her. She keeps going, her mind hazy with pure fear as it replays her death, Abaddon messing with her soul, everything its done to her. She knew running was futile but it was all she could do. Her body wouldnt let her stop. She soon comes across a dead end. Abaddon begins tearing away at the rock to kneel down and see her.
"H̶̍̆ǒ̵͊w̸͆̑ ̸͑͆f̷̀́u̵̚͠ṉ̴̔ ̶̊͘t̸͋̾h̵̏͝ȉ̶̘s̵̓̂ ̵͗͐c̷͚̚h̸̄̄a̶̖̐ś̸̔e̸̺͐ ̶͒̚w̷̛̹a̸̬̿s̴͌̈́.̸̆́" Shards of obsidian begin protruding out from the folded mountains, forcing Harmonia to move towards Abaddon.
Harmonia shakes her head, claws coming out as she tries to claw at the obsidian to no avail, tears rising in her eyes. "JUST LET ME GO PLEASE-"
"A̵̽̒n̵̈́̈́d̸̀͛ ̶̧̃w̶̉ͅḧ̷́̕ȳ̸̅ ̷͙̄w̴̚ͅo̶͇̚u̷͛̎l̷̦͂d̴̏̎ ̷̪͒I̵̳͋ ̴͙̐d̶̉̕o̴̫͆ ̸̤̒t̸͈́h̶̜̑ḁ̸̊t̸̨͑,̴̣́ ̶̺̐H̸̃̚à̴͚ṛ̷͊m̴̛̑o̶͋͗n̶̯̚i̷͛̈́a̶̙͊?̴̛̃" It tilts its head. "So you can go back to a family that doesn't care about you? So you can go back to a world that's constantly hurting you and your 'friends'? So you can go back to your deadbeat father?" It chuckles, liquid impurity slowly falling from its mouths. "N̷o̴ ̴o̴n̶e̶ ̷w̸o̷u̵l̵d̷ ̸n̴o̵t̶i̷c̵e̸ ̶n̸o̶r̸ ̵c̵a̶r̵e̸ ̵i̵f̷ ̸I̵ ̶k̵i̷l̵l̴e̴d̷ ̴y̵o̵u̷ ̶r̶i̶ght now."
The tears overflow from her eyes, streaming down her face. She hated it. She hated this being that knew her insecurities. Who knew exactly what to say to hurt her. She looks away from it, body shaking. She wasnt strong, how could she pretend to be. "W-what do you want from me-"
"Do you know how insignificant you are? I don't want anything from an ant I could wipe from existence in a second. The only reason you're alive right now is for my personal entertainment. But there's other groups that can entertain me. There's full governments fighting against me when I could kill them all with a wave of my hand. I only keep you all alive because it's entertaining." Abaddon laughs, "If it's not you, it's someone else. Simply put." It runs a claw down Harmonia's cheek, slicing the top few layers of skin open. She winces, shaking. A few tears seep into the wound.
"So are you going to kill me?" She stares at the ground, feeling like she did the day the world ended. Stupid. Helpless. Painfully human.
"Turn around, Reeds. F̴̾͛a̶̛͒c̷̋̕ē̷͝ ̴͘͝á̸́w̴̬͆a̴̚͝y̴̿̀ ̴̓̈́f̸̃́r̷̈́̀ö̸͆m̴̛͂ ̵̊̾y̴̐͛ȍ̴̪u̸͗́r̸͂̚ ̵̾͛G̵̈̕ö̴̓d̷̾̃."
Harmonia does so, too tired and broken down to try and be rebellious. She was alone here. Just like in Beezlebubs castle. Except no one would save her this time.
She begins to feel a sharp, searing pain on her back. And then her head as well. Burning. Horrible. Fire. It hurts. It burns. She wants to scream but something isn't allowing her. Her back is being opened. Salt is flying inside, it burns, she can't feel anything but pain, she can't scream she's not allowed to. Her horns, something's wrong with them. Something's wrong with her body something's changing and it hurts it hurts like hell it burns. Why does it burn so bad, nothing can hurt like this, she's never felt such pain in her life.
Harmonia begins to fall to the ground. It all feels so slow yet so fast. As she collapses, she sees a figure standing on the obsidian. A silhouette she can barely make out through the pain. A man with one arm and horns, one of them broken. She blacks out completely. ==>
