Challenge - [058] Consequences

Notes - From Cloud's POV during any point in either the first or second game. It can even be in the middle of them, if you like!
He’d given in.
Not out of temptation or want. It’d been out of need, of desperation, because he hadn’t been strong enough at the time. He had failed too many already, had so much to do – still has so much to do…it was a life or death situation. Literally. When dealing with Hades, it always is.
It was his only choice! He couldn’t just give up like that or bear to have another failure weigh on his greedy conscience. He had to get stronger, he had to make that deal, and he had to have that kind of power.
He didn’t care how or why. The details were meaningless to him when the possible outcome outweighed the risks. His will to fight and survive won out over everything else.
And now he has to deal with it.
With the shame, the regrets, the abuse. He’d apparently traded one Underworld for another, and he’ll have to put up with not being able to go back, or go forward, until he finds…
His light.
