[You have received a new Memory...]
[You have received a Memory: Resentment of Darkness]
The Boy showed a hint of an emotion as the Spell whispered into his ear. Memories were precious things after all. They ranged from weapons to things like necklaces or wrist guards. He had seen some being summoned by the other people in the world he lived in before being sent into the first nightmare with the man who knocked him out boasting some incredibly powerful ones compared to the others.
Summoning his runes, he went looked at Memory he had just gotten
[Resentment of Darkness]
[Memory Description: A man gave up one of his senses to 'Something' that promised him power. With the temptation and his own powerlessness, he accepted the 'Somethings' proposition and in return for his sight becoming close to useless. Due to this, he could no longer behold the world in its vast glory, and his own family became nothing more than vague shapes with the man now crying in resentment of his greed.]
Reading the Description, the Boy summoned the Memory, and it was summoned into the world with the ethereal strings forming its shape. As it fully formed, it looked like a human's eyeball which was embedded into a sort of jagged disk.
Holding onto it, the world felt as if it lost the colors of the world but the winds and stench of the blood coming from the bodies of the villagers became slightly more noticeable. If he was to describe it, it would be like having a puddle of blood being in front of him and having the scent of the liquid being amplified with the wind blowing strongly onto him.
It seemed like a charm of sorts with 1 passive enchantment, which correlated to the fact that he had killed an awakened beast or awakened for the memory. It took away a bit of the Boy's sight but in return gave him enhanced senses. It has some applications which could help him but also hurts him as not being able to see clearly will affect his ability to fight with others.
Keeping the Memory summoned, he went to undressing the now dead chief. He took the leather armor, which was somewhat damaged due to the man, now in red's, attack. Picking up his other supplies, he starts to head into the village.
Unbeknownst to the Boy, many things were happening without his knowledge. A figure silently follows him whilst the man in red quickly goes back to the place he came from carrying his aspect abilities effects.
...
Finding a cave, he hears some breathing coming from the inside which he wouldn't have if not for the eye charm he now attached to his body through some string. He uses his aspect ability and sends the creatures inside to the afterlife as he slowly prepares them as food and other necessities.
He starts a fire and cooks the meat of the thing he had just killed. The tantalizing aroma of the meat fills the cave and the Boy starts chewing. It tasted surprisingly normal considering what he ate in the Dream Realm, but it wasn't an unwelcome change.
As he puts out the fire and lays down on a gathering of large leaves he set up, he slowly drifts into unconsciousness but also keeps his mind ready to wake his body up immediately the moment he notices something.
A few days passes as the Boy starts going hunting for more food as the creature's body won't sustain him forever. The Figure also continuously follows him from a distance and observes him.
On the seventh day, as the Boy prepares to go to sleep, the Figure stands outside the cave. The wind blows his air as he stands outside, and as the clouds part, moonlight shines on the figures face.
