Sweet Violence

Before she had woken up, Paul had gotten up to use the "Bathroom". The strange thing is, he had been asleep for a few hours, and out of nowhere stood up without any sort of indication that he woke up like a normal person generally would. Generally, Corona is more intelligent in acts like this, but for some reason he didn't bother.

Corona walked out of the room and looked down the hall. He slipped into an unused room and walked out onto its balcony. He looked up into the sky and a mysterious white light appeared before him.

"Corona Starfire." A female voice came from the light as it took the form of an angel.

"It is nice to see you again. It's been nearly 17 years since I've seen another one of my kind. You'll not believe how much humans have changed since the medieval times." Corona responded.

The angel giggled. "I know more about the humans than you think." She eyed the body Corona was currently in suspiciously."Is that really a human body? It harnesses more spiritual power than most priests. Have you not just started the training?" She actually did not sound as surprised as her words would make you think.

Corona turned to the horizon and pondered her words for a moment. "No, I have. But it has been going even better than I had hoped. The human mind still holds wondrous potential." He turned back to her. "But.. you don't seem all that surprised. Have you already met with Elazul and Nemaera?"

"I have." She nodded. "The hosts Elazul Earthstrider and Nemarea Lightgrace have seen similar results. However they have also met with heavy demonic feedback. More so than expected, even."

"Yes, same here." He agreed. Lesset hadn't stopped hounding him since he had arrived on the island. "Lesset is here. He's been starting to mass produce abominations. I haven't been able to find out where, exactly, but he's definitely doing it."

"There is also the matter of the other one."

"Yes, but she has been here a while. I do not believe Darci has anything to do with Lesset. They are separate matters that will be dealt with by separate battles. I have only learned about her by snooping around about the island's past, after all. The amount of darkness afflicting this island is incredible. I am not even sure how it isn't covered by demons.."

Corona was going to continue, but a female nurse's voice was heard in the room behind. Corona turned around abruptly. "Crud.. I guess this room isn't abandoned after all. Or maybe they heard me." The voice was getting closer, Corona looked for a way to escape. Could he jump onto the roof..? No, definitely not. That was when the angel grabbed him and placed him onto the roof's building before disappearing.

"Thanks.." Corona said before she disappeared. He would have to continue his report another time. Until then, he slowly and carefully made his way across the roof and estimated where his room was. When he thought he found it, he fell down and didn't exactly plan his fall correctly. He landed on the balcony of the room, but smacked his head (with a loud CLANG) in process. Luckily, it was the right room.

Paul suddenly jolted awake as he felt a searing pain go through his head.

Wha..what happened!? He realized Corona had taken control, and that he was outside of the hospital room. He sighed as Corona said not to worry about it, and that he had simply fallen while looking at the stars. Which really wasn't that big of a lie. Afterall, he did check out the sky a bit, and really did fall. Paul pondered how he fell, but Corona didn't answer.

He stood up and opened the door. Or, he tried to, but it was locked. He knocked on the glass. "Uh.. open up, please?"

"If you truly dislike this place, I could send you into a temporary coma where you can dream about being somewhere better, if you wish." Corona said as he walked past her bed. It almost sounded like a threat, though Corona was quite serious. It wouldn't give her any sort of long term damage, there wasn't really any reason not to if she didn't oppose.

He didn't take any sort of offense to her words whatsoever, Paul was a bit annoyed, though. Not that it mattered because he wasn't in control. Corona jumped on Paul's bed and dangled his legs off the side, rubbing the back of his head which still hurt just enough to be annoying.

"You wouldn't be taken to any sort of foster home. I would be right here with you. And I could end the coma at will. If anyone came I could simply make it disappear. You would wake up and would not feel any sort of pain - it would be as if it had never happened. There are absolutely no draw backs whatsoever. You would only feel a sharp pinch when I did it, but wouldn't feel a thing while under the coma. And I don't need to do anything noticeable to end it. It's up to you, but there is really no reason not to."
