Blood dripped down the hourglass. A corpse hung, swinging like a pendulum. Logan shook his head, trying to clear his head of this disturbing vision. A crown fell to the ground, shattering with the impact. The shards pierced Logan’s skin. Logan took out a gun from his pocket. It fit neatly into his hand as if this was destiny.
“It's over now I know inside no one will ever know...”
”The sorry tale of Orcus Wrath, and those who died...”
Logan turned to face the mirror. His face was worn, with cracks and wrinkles tracing his features.
“No one must ever know..”
“They’d only see the tragedy,”
“They'd not see my intent.”
Logan sighed, glancing backwards towards the massacre Wrath had caused. Once white costumes were stained red; once sparkling eyes were dark and blank.
“The shadow of Wrath's evil…”
“Will forever kill the intent I meant.”
The lights flickered. Shadowy monsters hid in the depths of the shadows, yet vanished as the light struck their features. It was such a fine line between being sane and insane.
”Am I a light side?”
”Am I a dark side?”
All the other sides were easily categorised yet Logan was the lone outlier. Some said he was true neutral and others said he was light.
“It's such a fine line between a light side and a...”
Lightning flashed outside. The mirror lit up. Another face stared back at Logan. Logan drew back, raising the gun towards the mirror. They had orange eyes piercing through Logan’s soul. There was something twisted about the way he smiled.
”Do you really think”
”That I would ever let you go?”
Wrath laughed. Logan felt his body move by itself, throwing the gun. It hit the wall with a nasty thud.
“Do you think I'd ever set you free?”
Logan edged towards the gun. Cobwebs clutched his skin and shadows passed over his face.
“If you do, I'm sad to say,”
“It simply isn't so.”
A hand slapped Logan’s face. Logan fell to the floor, wincing. He looked as the perpetrator; his own hand!? Logan felt his pulse quicken.
“You will never get away from me!”
Wrath pushed Logan up onto his feet. Wrath burst into a fit of hysterical laughter at Logan’s fear. Logan was trapped in his own body; a nightmare scenario. Logan struggled against the grip of Wrath. He struggled to get control of his body.
“All that you are”
Logan began, taking control of his body again. He glared at the mirror with a venom which would make snakes proud.
“Is a face in the mirror!”
Logan shouted. A pain in his head sprouted. He clutched his head, closing his eyes.
“I close my eyes and you'll disappear!”
“I'm what you face”
“When you face in the mirror!”
Wrath opened his eyes, watching Logan struggle in the mirror. Wrath's eyes widened in delight.
“Long as you live, I will still be here!”
“All that you are”
“Is the end of a nightmare!”
Logan shouted, vision blurring. His heart race was as speedy as a person sprinting away from a serial killer. Logan was shaking and he wasn’t sure whether it was from rage or fear.
“All that you are is a dying scream!”
“After tonight,”
“I shall end this demon dream!”
Logan gestured towards the gun, glaring at the twisted one in the mirror.
“This is not a dream, my friend -“
“And it will never end!”
“This one is the nightmare that goes on!”
“Wrath is here to stay,”
“No matter what you may pretend -“
“And I'll flourish, long after you're gone!”
“Soon you will die,”
“And my silence will hide you!”
“You cannot choose but to lose control.”
“You can't control me!”
“I live deep inside you!”
“Each day you'll feel me devour your soul!”
“I don't need to survive,”
“As you need me!”
“I'll become whole”
“As you dance with death!”
“And I'll rejoice”
“As you breathe your final breath!”
“I'll live inside you forever!”
“No!”
“With Thomas himself by my side!”
“No!”
“And I know that, now and forever,”
“They'll never be able to separate”
“Logan from Wrath!”
“Can't you see”
“It's over now?”
“It's time to die!”
“No, not I!”
“Only you!”
“If I die,”
“You die, too!”
“You'll die in me”
“I'll be you!”
“Damn you, Wrath!”
“Set me free!”
“Can't you see”
“You are me?”
“No!”
“Deep inside-!”
“I am you!”
“You are Wrath!”
“No - Never!”
“Yes, forever!”
“Good damn you, Wrath!”
“Take all your evil deeds,”
“And rot in hell!”
“I'll see you there, Logic!”
“Nooo!!”
