You're seeing this correctly: TWO CHAPTERS AT ONCE! That's because I was working on this long before I actually started submitting it.

Enjoy! ;D


1. VOICES

Jaden Yuki

There was a shattering sound.

"Somebody! Call for help! HURRY!"

Crowler's voice was echoing in the dark, frantic, concerned. My eyes were open, but I was blind. I remembered that sudden burst of light when I suddenly began to feel pain in my chest while I slumbered in class, but it had faded with time. It was a moonless night with no stars at all, and everything was wearing a dark veil, hiding from me. A cold wind attacked me from out of nowhere.

I didn't grasp this was really strange until I entered into a vision.

Gray clouds lurked in the sky, overlooking the ocean crashing against the crags so hard it would knock over a person. The rocks disappeared from view as if I was zooming in on a picture, and it continued like this for a long while. As I got closer, sounds flooded the area. If they weren't so penetrating, it would've been like a million angels singing opera.

Screaming, someone said. Everyone is screaming.

This voice was deep, as if he were in his late twenties or early thirties. The screaming seeped so slowly into me, I wondered I it was going to end. I was almost tempted to ask what was going on, but something arrested my attention ahead of me. Something so small, it could have been an ant walking on water. But I was getting closer, and soon, the rocketing had stopped and the figure had become clearer in detail.

I gasped.

Standing on a weathered rock was a knight in dark azure colored armor, with a fire colored horn at the front of the helm, violet vapors escaping in the back. In the middle, where the abdomen was supposed to be, a fiery orb glowed and sparked between a jaw like opening. His feet were like that of a mountain goat's hooves, only the toes were much more far apart and larger. But I didn't need that to tell me he was inhuman. His right arm was grotesque, like it was from a demon.

The object that stuck out the most to me was his large sword, drenched in a color so similar to the horn on the helm and the sparking orb in the missing abdomen, and the hilt looked like it was made from stone. Was that actually an eye I saw on the hand guard? The blade was so huge, I almost thought that sword was actually taller than him.

"Kali-Yuga...show me the way..." the voice had returned.

Kali-Yuga? Who or what was that?

Right as he said that, the knight suddenly raised his head to unveil bright red eyes that glowed. I almost cried out in surprise, almost as a sign that I had already known he was unearthly, and that I just wanted to get back to my regular dream, full of dueling.

"The wind…" Was that Syrus speaking? "The wind and the stars are crying…"

"Righteousness is on our side…" It was Alexis. What was all of this stuff they were talking about? The wind and the stars were crying? Who was with Alexis?

"Victory will soon follow..." Atticus?

"This is not amusing…" There was a new voice in the vision. It was female, and young, but I somehow knew this person was older than Blair. Like her phrase suggested, she wasn't either amused at something.

"My sword…SCREAM!" Bastion? Why was he so violent?

"Your heart beats..." Zane! "The noise is grating!"

"Shut up...and die already!" Hassleberry? What was going on here? I tried to open my mouth, but my lips seemed to be jammed together. All the while, Chazz hissed, but he didn't say anything.

It was then I realized the wind that was blowing at me was suddenly gone. There was a lingering there, I could feel it. Someone was on one side of my head.

"I'm here Jaden…my descendent…" The voice was back again.

One of my ancestors?! But…how was this possible? A spirit…the spirit of one my ancestors…was speaking! He was talking to me! But…why was he here? I struggled to open my eyes quickly. I was finished seeing this, knowing this wasn't another dream I was having just by sleeping in the middle of class.

The knight suddenly commenced to swing his sword in a whirlwind like pattern, and I felt a pain each time, each one sharper than the previous.

"Tremble in my darkness!"

He swung it again, and this time, I felt an actual cutting into my chest.

I screamed.

And that's when my eyes finally opened.


What just happened? I ain't telling cause then I'd be giving it away! ;D But yeah. Recognize anybody who would say those quotes everyone else was saying?
