She was suffocating.

In the inky darkness that surrounded her she was choking and she didn't know how that could be.

Her consciousness flickered and flashed as something swirled around her invisible throat, tightening like a noose of the gallow and she was terrified because how could someone who was already dead, die again?

She had no idea how long she had been trapped inside of this vast darkness but when she had been awakened by the relentless clutch around her neck and the feelings of razors piercing into the very core of her being she knew something had changed.

And what that something was would change her forever.

The grip around her neck flexed and she could feel her little blip of an existence flutter and wane before whatever it was that was nestled into her incorporeal body hissed and lunged. Raking figurative nails at the rope compressed around her nape and suddenly she was free.

But that didn't stop her fear or the rampaging of the presence that clung so very close to her. No, both expanded and stewed because she knew the suffocator wouldn't stop, she knew it would strike again and when it did she would be left worse for the wear. She had gone through this enough times to understand exactly what would be done to her.

And like a prophecy spoken straight from the lips of an oracle that unabating cord shot out and latched on, its ferocity only matched by the growling of the specter who was her defender.

And together those two energies - for what else could she call them - clashed, dancing about each other and for not the first time since regaining her awareness did she pay any mind to other presence - the one so very similar yet different than her own, the one who controlled the noose - and wondered just what she had done to warrant this hostility.

She hadn't asked to be brought to this place. She didn't want to have to deal with this after everything that transpired when she had been alive and she wanted - no, needed - out.

She could feel the aggression of her specter as if it were tangible and like a key in a lock it surged and she knew it was going to see to her demand.

Her specter always did.

The storm waged and the abyss trembled, pain that wasn't her own flared through her brain as the third phantom that belonged to this place - the separator - heaved and stretched. Imperceptible limbs moving to detain and coddle both her and the suffocator as it had done so many time before but this time - this time she was having none of that.

Her specter heckled and jeered, jerking away from the separator's hold before it coiled as tightly as it could around her being and it clawed its way out with a viciousness that petrified her just as much as it vindicated.

There was a screaming agony that ripped at her empathy as the separator's weakened and crippled presence reached out to her. But she was already going, the cry of distress already lost because she was already gone.

She was unsure how it happened, one moment she was there and the next she wasn't but when she returned to the darkness there was no pain. There was no choking nor was there a presence besides her own. Even the specter that had been there with her in the first void was absent and for the first time since waking up she felt peace.

Wrapped up so securely in the quietness of her new abyss it would nine months later that she would experience her own birth and realize that the Hindus had it right all along.

Reincarnation was real.


Welcome one and all to the dark hunters fandom!

Let me start this off by explaining a few things.

You won't have to read the books if you dont want to because I will explain everything.

I repeat: You won't have to read the books if you dont want to because I will explain everything.

If any of you want to read the series (it's very good!) I have a website where you can read it online for free or I can email the epuds to you. Pm me if you're interested.

If you are going to read the books then the three you should read are: Acheron, Styxx, and Devil May Cry since they are the most relevant to the story.

In fact, I could just send you guys the dark hunter companion book which explains everything about the Dark Hunters. It literally tells you the entire basis for the series, from the characters, the places featured in the stories, etc etc. It's great so you don't really have to read the books!

Pm me if you want the companion.

But really since I'm going to explain basically everything to you, you don't have to read anything.

My SI-OC's name will be Asimenios which is greek for Silver.
