"You can never be too sure," he muttered darkly, sweeping his gaze around before looking at Lilith.

Fwrthyrn's face took on an amused look, "You're really eager aren't you?" he asked.

Managing a small smile, Fwrthyrn nodded, "There is.."

He levitated a couple of metres, before lowering his legs onto the ground.

"Ok, how about it then?" Fwrthyrn paused, "Right now, here."

Lilith nodded in response to Thyrn's remark. You could never be too careful. She felt herself flush.

"Sorry..." she muttered staring at her feet. She wondered whether Thyrn was amused or annoyed. She looked up.

"Really?" she said. She considered it for a moment before smiling to herself.

"Okay then," she said, "Here it is."

Fwrthyrn chuckled, "No need to be," he replied. "Great stuff..." he murmured. Cracking a few knuckles, he studied the female in front, wondering which would be the better way.

Tilting his head, he muttered, "It might hurt a bit. You never know with these things, and this is my first time."

He stepped forward and placed his fingers gently on either side of her head. Staring straight ahead, his red eye pulsed into a dark black as he channelled his metaphysical self into her...

Lilith shifted her feet around again. She was still slightly embarassed.

"I am accustomed to pain."

She stayed still when Thyrn began doing whatever it was he was doing. She clenched her fists and closed her eyes when pain hit her head.

She felt as though something were passing through her mind.

"Nevertheless," Fwrthyrn murmured softly in reply, his eyes closing. He needed to block the scenery from his mind before he could fully turn Lilith into a demon.

He decided to tell Lilith what he was doing. Maybe she would understand that way. “I’m already in your mind,” he said softly, “But I’m going to swamp everything in your mind’s interior.” Fwrthyrn paused and frowned. “It might take a while but the full transformation needs to go through your body as well. I’m not sure how much pain you will be experiencing,” he finished, slightly doubtful.

“Painful thing is, is that I’ve got to crush your spirit before generating a new revamped one. Are you ok with this?” he asked, opening his eyes to stare intently at Lilith’s. A milky substance glided in the darkness of his eyes, showing that he was partly there, and partly somewhere else. He kept his fingers stationary, gently applying pressure.

Lilith did not trust herself to speak, so she just nodded at Thyrn's explanation. In her opinion, the pain would be worth it.

She returned Thyrn's stare and without batting an eyelid answered.

"I'm fine with it." she said, still aware of the gentle pressure on her temples.

Fwrthyrn kept his eyes fixed on her for a while longer, trying to read her face.

"Ok," he replied softly, "I'll carry on..." Fwrthyrn paused, "Regardless," he added. Some may have said it was added harshly.

With that, Fwrthyrn closed his eyes again and fully left his presence on Earth. Travelling through Lilith's interior, she reached her mind and began his work.

Fwrthyrn clenched his jaw tightly as darkness swirled from his fingertips. Watching it, he noted that it was going slowly, and he needed it to go faster.

Having no choice, he managed to rip himself with fire, earth and air. The darkness within him relinquished in full force, shooting to all parts of her mind.

As soon as that was finished, it travelled along her bloodstream, enshrouding everything; the bones, blood and everything inside.

Weak from exhaustion already, he ploughed on. A digging sense echoed in his head. Fwrthyrn turned to find the source and stepped towards it.

Something piercing came from the shadows. It was white, and yet it wasn't. A grey colour almost, but not fully black and that was the goal.

Rushing forwards, Fwrthyrn wrapped the "spirit" with his earth ability, vicious vines encasing it. He squeezed but saw that this wasn't the most easy way and could bring pain to Lilith.

Thinking back, he tried to find the easiest source.

Having no choice, Fwrthyrn phased through the spirit, so that he was inside. His body took on a solidified experience with the spirit above and around him.

Roaring, Fwrthyrn slashed the spirit from inside, tearing it up to smithereens. Not finished, he set alight to it, burning it until it resembled nothing.

He hung his head, the job done. Looking around once more, everything in eternal black, he lighted a red glow inside her mind and left....

Lilith closed her eyes as the process began. Her brow creased as an uncomfortable sensation passed through her mind. The sensation spread, reaching out to every single part of her body. She could feel the darkness in her, flowing through her.

Lilith cried out. The pain struck her like a brick wall. It felt as if her very soul were being ripped apart. For second, time itself seemed to freeze. And then like a light had been turned on in her mind, Lilith jerked back to reality.

She opened her eyes. From their original hazel colour, they bled to crimson. The corners of her mouth curled into a smile.

"Thank you." she said, in a voice that was no longer her own.

In the physical, real world, Fwrthyrn let go and stepped back, surveying the result with apprehension.

"Hmm..." he murmured thoughtfully as the change was apparent.

"No worries," Fwrthyrn replied with a crooked smile. "How do you feel? Do you think you've got any more abilities?" he asked curiously.

He studied her face, trying to read it.

Lilith looked around her, taking in the world through a demon's eyes. She smiled apathetically.

"I feel...different." she said, not knowing how else to describe it. She looked at Thyrn.

"Yeah, I do. I can feel the evil emanating from you. I can feel things." she said, walking around in excitement. She quickly subdued her excitement.

"Thank you. I am in your debt."
