Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

"Let Liz out, I'd like to talk to her while in this form, before the seal has been reactivated." Raven said calmly, her fists clenched.

"Oh, I'm sorry, but are you dumb?" Dark Liz narrowed her eyes. "I am Elizabeth, and Elizabeth is me."

"Oh, I could swear Liz would disagree with that statement, or at least, with the actions you do while in that form," Raven gritted her teeth. "I said let her out."

"We are the same person, but with focus on different emotions. While in this form, I have access to the darkness in my heart, the nightmares that I try to keep away from the light, and the natural evil that is trying to corrode my existence." She replied. "But that doesn't change anything still; I am Elizabeth, and Elizabeth is me."

*Sigh*

Raven gave off a soft sigh, the radiance around her shining even brighter.

Suddenly, a flash brightened the dark room as Raven disappeared from her spot. Reappearing in front of dark Liz, she raised her hand high up, but she suddenly stopped her movement.

"Aren't you going to stop me?" She asked, confused.

"Why would I?" Dark Liz shrugged. "You have complete control under this barrier." She gestured around her, meaning the Brilliant Primordial Radiance barrier covering the room. "Additionally, the more you abuse me, the more I will hate you."

"Oh, so your plan is for Liz to blame me for everything?" Raven asked calmly.

"Uhm," Liz nodded. "You could say that, I guess."

"Funny," Raven said coldly. "But as a matter of fact, I blame Liz for everything!"

As soon as she shouted, her raised hand slammed down, slapping Liz in the face. Although it seemed like trivial slap, the power behind it was enough to destroy mountains.

Liz who was git was launched towards the other side of the room and slammed like a rocket against the barrier. 

Not giving her a chance to recover, Raven with her bloodshot eyes appeared in front of her and choked her with one hand as she pressed her against the barrier.

Liz wanted to smile, as if to point out that her plan was already working. However, her smile stiffened before it took shape.

The dark sun on her chest gained a dark torche, creating a total of seven. Raven on the other hand, had only one left.

Suddenly, tears of dark streamed down Liz's face. "I- I am sorry…" she struggled to speak.

Looking at Raven's cold look, she felt her body getting colder and colder. Sadness and heartache enveloped her.

"Did you hear what I said?" Raven asked between clenched teeth. 

"Uhm," she almost choked while nodding. "You blame me for everything… but it's okay, I understand. After all, I was the one to kill tens of thousands of people. I was the one to kill Maya and baby Rituxi…

"You tried your best to make me smile, thinking that I was the victim, but…" finally, unable to hold herself together, Liz started crying out loudly. 

Raven had no intentions of comforting her. She just glared intensely.

"You can kill me," Liz finally said. "I don't blame you…"

"Oh, but I blame you," Raven said.

"But-" tears of dark continued streaming down Liz's milky cheeks. "Do you want Maya to kill me?" She finally asked, as if realizing something. 

After a while, she could only nod. "That works, at least, I'll make something right before I die. Although it won't account for everything I have done, but-"

"God, you're so useless," Suddenly, Raven said, letting go of her choking hand. 

As soon as Liz's feet touched the ground, she looked at Raven in confusion.

"How was it?" Raven asked, pain apparent in her voice. 

Although her question was abstract, Liz understood her clearly. She wanted to cry against her friend's shoulder, but remembering what had just happened, she didn't have the power to do it.

So, she could only answer honestly. "Filled with blood." Hugging herself, she closed her eyes, as if to remove the bad memories of the blood rivers she created and keeps imagining whenever the darkness takes control.

"Uhm," Raven nodded with a sad expression. "Do you blame me for Liam's death, and for who you have become?"

"No!" Liz suddenly said. "I can't…"

"Liz, don't lie to me," Raven shook her head. "You just said so."

"No, that wasn't me-"

"But it was," Raven tilted her head. "Just be honest, not with me, but rather with yourself. You need to believe in your own thoughts and emotions."

"But-"

"Do you blame me?" Raven cut her off and repeated.

After a while of silence, Liz looked Raven in the eyes and nodded. "Uhm, I blame you."

"Good," Raven said. "I looked into it, you know. The police records show that the time of Liam's death matches with the time me and Scott were fighting. At that time, Scott wanted to trap me inside a dimensional prison, but that obviously didn't happen.

"What did happen, however, was that the moment I broke free from that prison, I messed up some of the time-space sequences. One of these consequences was the loss of many lives. In other words, it wasn't just Liam who had died that day.

"Additionally, if you think about it, if Liam had not died, you'd still be living happily, and this power would not have awakened. So it's all my fault, right?"

Strangely, Raven was smiling as she asked the last question. Liz was confused at what she had just heard, but her eyes could not help but widen in realization.

She has always thought that Raven was the one to kill Liam, but she never actually knew how or why. But now she knows. It was an accident! 

A simple accident caused her life to collapse! 

A simple accident caused her to lose control and take the lives of many!

But… Why is Raven smiling? Why does she have that look, as if the weight crushing her chest has been finally removed?
