Hi ^^. Now, if you came here for the chess piece bit, you'll probably want to read what's below this.

This fan-fic was written in response to my readers of 'Unkown Desires'. This is mainly an interpretation of one of my original character's dreams. If you haven't read that, it's alright. You can go to the second chapter, find the section pertaining to the meaning behind the three colors of the chess pieces, then go to the last chapter. If you don't look at the color description first, you won't get the way I labeled each Death Note chess piece, so I would greatly suggest it. Now, for my actual readers, all three of these chapters are dedicated to interpreting Orijinaru's dream, enjoy ^^.


Alright, as I said in the description, I will be dividing this up into the meaning behind landscaping, the objects, and the symbols. This is more appealing as it doesn't jumble everything together, making it easier to read and understand. Now, on with the 'chapter' ;D. (Note: all significant factors will not be subcategorized; they will be addressed chronologically or according to amount of importance)

…..

Moving on to the interpretation, Ori's dream starts out on large checkered tiles:

'The ground quickly rushed past me in a black-and-white checkered blur.'

If you read the entire dream, you know that these squares were much larger than the ones used for the game board. This size, and the fact that Ori started out on them, was meant to show her original existence in our world and that our dimension 'enveloped' the squares in the animated game. This means that the fate of the players was already known to a certain degree. But, because Orijinaru herself was added into the equation, the squares were smaller than they should have been: her presence in the Death Note Realm creates an unpredictable effect.

'I was running… I started to become frustrated as my running grew more pointless and I found I was unable to stop of my own will. Legs growing more and more exhausted, I stumbled frequently'

She starts out running in the dream as a symbol of her having made the choice to leave her world in the hopes of saving L. Ori runs for a long while and stumbles many times in accordance with the fact that being broken apart and reassembled (yeah, changing worlds is gruesome, hence her being pulled into a coma before the king transferred her) in the DN Dimension. It also is used to represent her new life being created, which includes having no parents and living a partly-lonely existence. Her inability to stop running shows the fact that since she has already made the decision to change the course of DN events, she does not have the option to go back to her own world unless she does.

'Sucking in a deep breath, I strode up to them. They were all regularly shaped and seemed to be in their beginning positions, and the floor below them held smaller tiles than the ones I had been traveling across, big enough for only one piece to fit on.'

Orijinaru's ability to move of her own accord now demonstrates her wish to truly help L and the others, even though she isn't aware of it. I will talk about the objects in the next chapter, but the small tiles were sized to fit these large pieces, marking the moves and possible strategies that would soon occur and start the 'game'. As in a regular chess game, the squares shall only fit one piece… and any caught by the enemy are taken. However, since this is a modified game, the players aren't immediately killed, but that will also be explained later.

'Turning, I walked onto the playing board and made my way to the middle. I turned a full circle, just taking everything in…'

Walking onto the board… yes, it can only mean she has finally entered not only the universe, but the game as well. Going directly to the middle shows her being in-between both sides at the start: not really benefitting either at that moment; however, moving in a full circle shows how she will soon observe the different events and analyze what they all mean.

'Even though I tend to be lazy, I walked all the way up to the dark grey king first. I sprayed a small amount on the neck and began wiping the dust away with the cloth… Despite having said that, I followed her suggestion, moving across to the other side. I began cleaning the light grey king… I jogged to the end where I had first gotten on and moved onto the larger squares I had started this dream with. I faced the chess game happening before me and watched the moves being made with intent eyes.'

Information cannot be disclosed at this time. (Yes, there are some things which cannot be described at the moment. You can try and guess as to why… but it really doesn't matter and it would be better to just wait and see.)
