Prologue:
'This cannot be happening. No, this is not true, I am just dreaming. I am just seeing things. Th-this is only because of the sleepless night that I have. Please tell me, it must not be true. It is impossible.'
"W-Why there was so much blood?"
There in the ground, two men crying over a body of another man. It was a man that he knows very well and has deep attachment with.
I tried to get closer to get to the scene, to ask them that it was not real that it was one of their pranks and that he is just playing dead. But it seems that my body is not moving, I am stuck into the ground, no coherent thought passed through my head but only the words.
'Please, tell me it's not true.'
'Please, tell me it's not true.'
'Please, tell me it's not true.'
'Please, tell me it's not true.'
Then I tried again to move towards that awful scene. Praying, pleading to all gods that I am hallucinating from the sleepless nights. As I move closer, my body shiver, shiver not for the cold but the lost of warmth that the still person in the ground always has. And when I reached them, I tried to touch him, to feel his warmth that always radiate from him.
'It's too cold…'
I tried to reason; maybe he found something that can keep his body heat, after all he is the water manipulator. So, I tried to wake him, up.
"N-Ne, stop faking it, get up. You cannot let me believe that you are dead. It is one of your tricks. Please, get up, you are already scaring me. I'll do anything for you to get up, and tell me that "I got you"."
I keep repeating this for hours, nudging him to wake up. Then I look at the blonde man who is beside me, I could see the tears in his eyes but it did not fall.
"Shinou, please tell Sai to stop this."
Shinou just look at me, and shake his head. I could see him trembling.
"Daikenja, his dead."
Many minutes that have passed, before the message penetrate deep within my mind and another minute or so to comprehend what have said. I closed my fist, drawing blood in them.
"No!!"
"No!! It was just a nightmare, nothing else." Repeated by the reincarnated Daikenja, Murata Ken inside his head.
But deep in his conscious mind, he knows that it is not just a nightmare. But something in his mind telling him that it was a dream and nothing more, but then why does he doubt. Doubting his dreams, and his self, but what is there to doubt.
"I know it is much more than just a dream."
He sighs, and then makes himself comfortable in his bed.
"But what is in that dream that is different?"
'I'll just think about it tomorrow.' And then he let his eyelids shut and let Morpheus take him into the world of sleep.
Not noticing the small bead of light in his forehead, and its growing radiance.
"Forgive me dear friend, for doing this."
Then a blue light surrounded the body of the sleeping Great Sage.
"I would not let you feel the pain, again."
And then he is no more, like the wind.
