      I might as well do them do mine doesn't have to. All this just because I skipped over becoming the villain and instead decided to face those demons head on. 😅 Imagine how historical that is. Holding on to power that's been bestowed apon you just to use it for good knowing it's irking someone's nerves. 😈 How delightful is it to be blessed by the most high and ever believe I couldn't do something so great with my life and know in a world far incomprehendable I'm conquering more then just demons, 😆 I'm conquering my flesh, and entwined my spirit.

    You have to understand it, what the "monster" wants... more than anything. You have to be willing to care, or at least think like the "monster". Killing a monster is the easy part; defeating a monster is the part any protagonist can do. However, defeating the monster without becoming some sort of monster yourself in the process is like walking a tightrope blindfolded. Almost none can do that. When it does happen, it's usually by sheer luck that worked out so well. Because understanding & / or caring for a monster changes you, even if you stay relatively "good" & only let your inner "monster" out sparingly.

    "You're a monster"
    A roar of laughter echoed down the empty halls surrounding the us, "Oh, am I now? And what would that make you? The hero I presume?", his eyes narrowed even further, oh if looks could kill.
    "Such a feisty glare", I chuckled looking down to the 9 mil in my hands, "So tell me dear 'knight', come to slay the dragon have we? And how will you do that?" I pushed myself away from the cold tiled wall and began slowly making my way over to the collapsed man. He merely sat there and observed as I crouched beside him, "Kindness, justice, revenge, which will it be? May I remind you that each still leads to a path stained with blood, my blood. Let's call it 'the path of the damned' as you people like to call it. A road only the ruined can travel by", the grin on my lips only grew as the words seem to flow continuously, "One I know well. How does one kill a monster? It's easy, really. Become one"
    "Shut up!"
    "Oh hush now, I'm not yet finished" a said playfully as I reloaded the gun. "Like it or not, to kill a beast you'll first have to take the form of one. All those who kill are evil are they not? Then what about you who strives so endlessly to kill me? Is that not the same as a predator stalking it's pray?"
    Those cold gray eyes seem to light up at my statement, he lashed out but could not do much with the wound in his side, "I AM NOTHING LIKE YOU!"
    "Ah, but you seem well on your way to turn out like this", the sound of metal crashing into the pavement caught his attention. It was the gun I had been holding now laying centimeters away from his free hand. His uncertain eyes found their way back to me, analyzing me as if he'd find a clue as to what I'm doing.
    "Take it"
    "Have you gone mad?" he breathed out.
    "Not quite, but let's see if you have"

      its a text wall for its like nearly 5:30 in the morn so im to lazy to fix
      *from a shadow* " there is but one thing time tells"
      *i am nothing but a shrouded figure with what looks to be inhuman traits of form with a jackal like from like that of anubis*
      "for what *IS* a monster to you hm? someone whos cold heartless and has killed many for some goal... or is it someone whos no more lost to but one path because they lost it all. this world lies in not blacks and whites but a pure pungent gray" a mess of gold and silver and even rose bronze gears are accrost my face muzzle and all of my left side even my tail bears mechinery of a long lost time
      "i am no more a traveler than i am a reaper to those who have decided to call me that... jack is my name and time is something i have, yet..." looks way and to some distant shadow "i am on the run from it, hero i was maybe once branded... but here i am on the run for i made the mistake all thoes who are labed as 'heros' and 'villians' and thats to *TRY* to live on have a life be nothing but a shadow of legends how ever time did not think so" i august my form and my clawed paws and metallic mechanical limb click on the cold ground "well that was my mistake to settle but in my quest i harmed someone who would... ' hunt me' is the best describing it. sadly i was nieve in thinking i could help them now they have made it known i hurt them, sadly i was in vain, with but a twist of power i had saved, and some mechanical know how i saved my self but that power twisted me away from anything human and into this jackal you see now. try to think on everyone you have harmed suttly as you die... for if you live this eather you or one of them is just gonna become the next monster" turns to a shifting brickface thats suddenly got a gate way of some sort "ta ta for now, for im gonna end my own time by paradoxing my self, but i know my saved self will live the life i wanted AND have saved the ones i have harmed so only *ONE* of me is a monster but the other me, well i hope to what ever god has been graceful to let me live can forgive me for what im about to do and maybe after i will return to my place and time and accept my death but make it known to the poor fellow, to look in the mirror a good LONG time after killing me off, because you and your friend here are both just gonna be seen as monsters by varous and one a hero" i want to only be the lost hero who tried to save everyone." i walk off into the gate as it closes and thus ends things for me to the hero and this villian.

    This got a bit long, I'm sorry.
    "They told me I would find you here." she said, as she entered the dark windowless room. "Didn't they tell you that I don't want to be disturbed?" "They did." "Then why are you here?" he asked, still not looking at her, completely focused on his prisoner. Chained and tortured as he was, he didn't look dangerous anymore. "Do you also want revenge on him?" He still didn't know, she realized. Always so focused on his own revenge.
    "I want to ask you something." She paused and took a deep breath. "Do you still think you are a hero? After all you have done to get your revenge?" "Yes." he answerd with a grim smile, "I have done erverything that was necessary to bring him to justice. Him and everyone who helped him."
    She laughed a joyless laugh. "Justice? That's how you call it?" Her voice turned cold as ice. "Was it justice when you killed all those people, just because they didn't want to join your fight?" He finally turned around and looked at her, his eyes widening as he saw the gun in her hand. "Was it justice when you killed my family, just because they wanted to life in peace?" Her voice broke. "Why?" She could see the shock in his face when he realized who she really was. "They protected him by refusing to do the right thing!" He growled, "They were my enemys!"
    She laughed again a joyless laugh and a tear ran down her face.
    "I guess it's right what they say. You can't kill a monster without turning into one." "I'm not a monster!" he sreamed.
    "You are. And now, it's my turn to become one." With a sad smile on her face she pulled the trigger.
    After he fell to the floor, she broke down, crying. She mourned for all she had lost. For her family, for her friends and for the person she once had been.

    Is there even such a thing as a villain? Or are there only broken, tortured souls? Souls that have been pushed past their breaking point. Souls that long for vengeance. Souls who have tired of being the victim and have decided to become the victimizer. Souls who have been submerged in darkness, in shadows, in pain for so long they had no choice but to emerge as a vicious, stone-cold, and merciless person, who has given one to many chances to the ones they used to care for, has had their back stabbed one too many times. Souls who have grown to make people quiver at the mention of their name and evolved into a terrifying monster that makes crows caw and start swirling around the gray sky that reflects in the monster’s hostile eyes.

    She crept closer to him, hunger for justice eating her insides like a living thing. WIth the knife behind her back, she drew herself nearer, ready to stab, to have him pay. Until he said,
    "You can't kill me without becoming me."
    She couldn't destory him without becoming a monster.
    But did she care? No. At least not in the moment.
    If it had meant to stall her, it worked. So instead of finishing the job, of stabbing him, she tortured him. She bled the arrogance out of him, burned his pride until there was nothing left.
    "Thank you," she whispered one of those nights. Two nights before he died his slow death. "You've shown me who I really am. Who I'm meant to be. You've introduced me to Darkness, and for that, I am eternally grateful."
    He had made her a monster, yet she didn't know it.
    To which he replied, "Darkness is lonely. He won't keep you company. He'll only take, and take, until you have nothing but an empty body left, running around, killing, hurting, inflicting, and I should know because-"
    She silenced him with a swift punch. He was wrong. And even if he was right, who cares? He wasn't going to ruin her fun.
    But she did care. How do you kill a monster without becoming one? You kill the monster inside your head, first.

    I think that those people are more likely to become the monster who were once full of love and sympathy.Who put everyone before them and in doing so, people drained all of their love and affection and left an empty hole in them.As the time passed by , this hole , this darknesss, this void of nothingness grew bigger and bigger till it consumed them completely, leaving their once beating, red heart to stone cold ash.
    Love is the only thing tht can bring them back.They need someone to show them that they are so much more than what people expected them to be.Someone on which they can rely on!
    This ash covered heart is there but for a certain period.If time exceeds a certain limit, it changes into a stone cold one, irreversible of ever changing back.And hence they become the monster, turning the bad guys in the end!

    I am really late but:
    "Tell me."
    His icy blue eyes are amused behind the helm. "Tell me, Isabel. Tell me what the good side ever did for you. Tell me what the good side ever did that so justifies what you've been through."
    I open my mouth to reply, then realize I have no words.
    He seems to smile. "Yes, tell me, granddaughter. What did they ever do for you?"
    I want to clap back at him, to tell him I'm a good person. But something in me holds me back.
    His eyes meet mine, cold and hard and intense. "Yes. Nothing. They were supposed to protect me, be there for me when I needed them, take care of the ones I loved. Yet they turned on me, took everything I cared for from me. Do you have any idea what it was like, watching them die and being powerless to stop it?"
    I feel the need to stop him, to stop his words, but the pain in his voice is as raw and real as if it had happened yesterday.
    "Goodness is a sham, Isabel. The world is full of hunger, betrayal, sorrow, pain, burdens. We people, we are cruel in our soul, evil, even. There is a villain inside us, a villain who knows the true world. But we hide behind an illusion of goodness and kindness, obscuring our desire for power and greed with a mask of peace and calm. The good stand for peace and love. But in the end, peace always turns to war. Love always turns to hate. Always."
    He lets out a sigh, long and drawn out. "I tell you this not to discourage you. I tell you this because, in the end, is anyone a villain? Are there villains, or only tortured souls? Souls that hunger for vengeance? Souls who are tired of being the victim? Souls that become a monster... to kill one?"
    He holds out a hand to me, the long fingers covered by a black gauntlet. "And so, my offer. Join me, granddaughter. Join me, and I will show you the real world. I will show you how everything around us is merciless and cruel. I will show you how everyone seeks to destroy us, and that we must destroy them before they destroy us."
    He takes a deep breath. "Consider it."
    He turns away from me, towards the black throne where his family was burnt alive. I feel the pull of his words deep in my soul, the truth in them echoing through me.
    I don't want to, but I want to. I want to so badly it tears through me.
    "I... I accept."

    Dark love
    As we yearn for pure love
    I plead of dark love
    A love so dark
    We burn everything we are close too
    A darkness that you and me see as light
    A light thats so bright angels could be blinded by it
    A love thats bonded by blood
    As we slow dance in hell
    A hell is the world we live in
    A world where love is just words with no action a love that feels like a burden
    I want that dark love where we're one with each
    A soul tangled with the other
    A bond that can't be whittled nor destroyed
    A passion so strong when our eyes meet stars light a sky
    And the only roughness we have is when our bodies meet
    We're the wicked one's
    The broken
    Thats what i want a dark love
    Knowing we got each other through our phases in this life

    Blood was everywhere around me as I lifted my eyes to the ceiling.
    Why would someone do this?
    Why had I done this?
    The pain was too much to bear. I stared at her again, dead on the floor. She wasn’t beautiful in death-she looked spoiled, ripped, ruined. Desecrated. My hands were sticky with her blood, but I felt no dramatic satisfaction or shock. There was…pain behind nothingness. A numbness, a sudden analytical bent to my mind that I knew was masking terrible things. But it was true, wasn’t it, that she reminded me of the carcasses I’d butchered when I was younger. Turns out all bodies look the same when they’re cut open. No soul left, just meat and blood and bones.
    If I let myself feel everything now, I wouldn’t get up again.
    So I walked away.

    I wrote too much lmfao. this took like half an hour 💀
    whoops.
    Jane wasn't a saint. She'd never claimed to be one, and she'd be damned if she was anything close to one. She wasn't a saint. She'd never been a goody-two-shoes, never been a people pleaser. But the situation that had unfolded itself before her, the wreckage she had witnessed... it made her wish she was better. Couldn't she be better? She was just never the person that other people wanted her to be. Her father, wishing for a smart boy that could take over the family business. Her mother, wishing for a quiet life in the mountains with a few children. Olivia, wishing for life. She'd ripped all of that from the people she loved dearly.
    She breathed. In, out. Inhale, exhale. Her breathing was a steady rhythm that kept her thoughts in line.
    Olivia was dead. She was alive. She'd died for her, and she hadn't done anything. Would she be a terrible person if she took the crown from her place? Olivia was just so bright, so lovely. How could Jane ever dream of replacing her? After their joined experience with the... the thing, whatever in Hades's name it was, she just couldn't.
    She was unworthy of the stupid fucking crown sitting on her head.
    All she wanted was to have her back in her arms, where she could tell the world, "Look! She's mine!" She was so over feeling emotional.
    But she was the only option.
    She was already a terrible person. It didn't matter.
    "Jane, dear?" Her breath was caught in her throat. Whose voice was that? "Love?"
    She whipped her head around to face the door. Her heart was beating faster than ever, tears beginning to form in her eyes.
    It was Olivia, except it wasn't. Her eyes seemed drained of any life that had been there previously. Dried tear tracks lined her sculpted and smooth face. She was smiling sadly at Jane, but when she glanced at what she was wearing, her smile disappeared. Her expression became cold and guarded. Her tone and her appearance didn't match her previous sugar-sweet nicknames.
    "Jane, what is that?"
    "I... Livi? Where... what... how?"
    "What is that."
    She was confused. "What is... what?"
    "On your head."
    Oh. Her cheeks flushed, and, suddenly feeling shy, she mumbled, "Your crown. I mean, I thought you were dead, but clearly..." she waved at Olivia.
    Jane couldn't read Olivia's expression. She felt nervous and awkward, which was weird because that was something Olivia had never made Jane feel. Jane was confident, Jane was the emotionless bitch that everyone couldn't get a read on. Olivia was never that. She was lovely and expressive, extroverted and kind.
    What was happening?
    Jane risked a glance at Olivia's outfit. She let out a small gasp of surprise. She was in a soldier's outfit, despite being a queen. And what was with the long sword at her side?
    She heard teeth being gritted together in frustration and saw that all of a sudden, the sword was being pointed at her throat. She gasped once again. "Liv! What are you doing? I- I can't breathe!" She struggled against the metal.
    "You left me there. To die." Olivia says, her tone sharp and accusing. This was nothing like her.
    "I- no! That wasn't what happened, Ollie! I had to! Darling, what's gotten into you?"
    "I destroyed the monster."
    "Well, we both did. I'm glad we did."
    The blade pressed harder into her throat. She could feel the blood running down her neck. After a brief moment, Olivia speaks.
    "How are you supposed to destroy a monster without becoming one?" She looked... psychotic.
    And then everything turned black.

    I stood triumphantly over the defeated villain. Finally, I felt like I could have it all, like the world was at my fingertips.
    "You monster," she said from below me.
    "What do you mean? I'm not the monster here, you are." I replied, narrowing my eyes at her.
    "Look around you. Sure, you have defeated me, but at what cost?"
    I looked around at the ruined city, the hundreds of bodies strewn throughout the streets.
    "Fool," she continued, "how do you think I ended up the villain? You can't defeat a monster without becoming one."

    "Evil is not about dark or light. All creatures are a mixture of good and evil. As such, my brother does not intend to end the world. He intends to save it. Thing is, his vision of the world does not include humankind. It does not include life. He is lost to the darkness, yet he seeks to revive the elder Gods. If he is successful, life will prevail. Humankind too. But for that, he will sacrifice the world as we know it. He will collect the souls of everyone. He will put you all in eternal agony. Whatever hell looks like to you, this might just be worse. As much as I love them, the gods aren't worth this. Remember, human. I am about to end my brother's life to save yours. Make it count."

    If one hears music, is because they/them like it, there’s no reason why one has to give in the demands of others just because they are different, or better than you, you listen to what you want and never back down, not on your dreams not all things alike, because you are the only reason you need to keep walking however you like and this playlist is how you can fell some of the hype this world has to offer not only misery of the poor that get their houses blown away nor those that lost lives in sad and with no chance of escaping.
    YOU are alive so FEEL IT even if it turns you into a monster, we live in a world of dog eats dog if you don't get stronger you get eaten, good luck...

    I'm imagining an evil character ark for a D&D character:
    A man stands on a precipice bleeding from his wounds as his wearied body begins to shake. In his left hand he clutches the artifact, the only thing which held the universe away from ruin.
    "A monster!" he shouts, his sanity leaving him. A deep laugh rasps from his broken chest. "You, my dear friend once told me yourself, 'to destroy a monster you must become one'. Don't let me be misunderstood, I am doing this for you! You call me a monster, but I've just decided to take them down WITH ME.
    His body gives a last shake as his limp form falls into the shadowed darkness below, snapping over the jagged stones. You hear a crash as the artifact smashes, but then hear no more. Reality begins to shatter as the world is cleansed of monster and kin.

    The *Queen of the Damned* in shadows did rise,
    With *The Wicked Ones* under darkening skies.
    *The Heretic* stood, in defiance he swore,
    To *Be Bold and Be Brave* , and fear nevermore.
    *Raise the Sword* high in the face of the storm,
    *Kill the Crown* , break away from the norm.
    For *The Mad Queen* rules, but soon she'll fall,
    *Such Is Your Destiny* , answer the call.
    The *Broken Hero* walks a path dark and thin,
    For within him lies the *Darkness Within*.
    *And Then They Came for Me* , a tale of regret,
    As justice is served with *Sentenced to Death*.
    But *You Can’t Kill Me* , no, not yet today,
    Though *The Sky Turned Red* , I'll find my own way.
    Up to the peaks of *Makalu* so high,
    Where mysteries like *Nazca* marks lie.
    *Sinking into Flames* , a fate to defy,
    For *Your God Is Dead* , no more need to cry.
    In the *Final Waltz* , shadows twist and they run,
    As *Rattle and Run* marks the fight has begun.
    *It Ends Tonight* , but the battle's unclear,
    *Where Is Your God Now* , who whispered in fear?
    *Mythical and Mighty* , the legends will tell,
    Of fires that burned with a *Past in Flames* spell.
    *I’m Vengeance* , I roar as *The Storm* rages on,
    For *Bound by Purpose* , I fight 'til the dawn.
    *Live to See Tomorrow* , break free of all chains,
    Behind a *Veil of Shadows* , where courage remains.
    With *Force of Will* , the final stand won,
    I wield *The Power of One* 'til it's done.
    Among *The Last Survivors* , we'll make our own turn,
    And *Watch the World Burn* , let the past crash and churn.
    *Do You Dare* to seek the light?
    *Reach* beyond the endless night.
    From dark to bright, *Into the Light* ,
    With *All Your Rage, All You Pain* , rise and fight.
    So *Kneel Before the Crown* in the hour of strife,
    For in the ashes, you'll find new life.
