 This isn't finished yet...so bear with me

As I stepped carefully through the trees, I paid close attention to my surroundings. At the tiniest of movements, my muscles tensed. Up ahead, I could feel the presence of someone’s aura. I smirked, my fangs glinting in the sunlight.
I leaned forward hurrying towards the aura. Moments later, I stood in a meadow, facing a man’s back. “So you’ve come?” the man said not turning around. “And what if I did?” I asked snarling. “You’ve only sped up your death, that’s why you shouldn’t have come,” he said.
I slid my hand down to my thigh, removing my bloodstained dagger from its pouch. “I know you control blood, but do you think you can beat a fallen god?” the man said turning around finally. I smiled, as I faced the man who once trained me. “You know, Jiko, even though you trained me, I know all your moves. I’ve made more weapons,” I said smiling.
“Oh John, are you so sure?” Jiko said. “My name is Bloody!” I snarled slicing my wrist with the dagger. A single drop of blood dripped before the wound closed. The drop touched the ground, where it expanded, forming an upside down pentagram. “Beware this power of mine,” I told Jiko.  The sky rumbled and I looked up as a drop of blood landed on my face.
The blood inside my body began to move around. My eyes changed from black to red. I lowered my head facing Jiko as a sword appeared in my hand. The tip of the blade dripped with constant blood, never ending. “The blood within my weapons contains the blood of all the enemies I’ve slaughtered,” I said smirking.
I lunged forward towards Jiko, smiling. I swung my blade, barely missing his arm. An invisible force slammed into me, sending me into the air. I landed on the ground skidding in a kneeling position. Smirking, I lunged forward, quicker this time, slicing into his thigh. A small amount of his blood was drawn into the sword’s blade.
“You know what happens if I even get one drop of you blood. My blade will convert it to a poison that will kill you if it gets in your bloodstream. That is the power of my Bloody Vengence,” I said. Jiko smile and a dark energy slammed into me shoving me to my knees.

You must never give into despair. Allow yourself to slip down that road, and you surrender to your lowest instincts. In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength.
