Chapter 2 – First Dream ( The Unknown Voice )

"Rassen. He is my son." Sumi said emotionlessly. A voice echoed from afar. "It was him? Why did you ever give birth to the child of destruction?" Sumi closed her eyes and answered, "Because I love him." The same voice again speaks to her "There is no need for love. There is no place for that. You will soon lose your son, Sumi."

Sumi smiled back "I know. Don't take me for a fool. But even still, I have time to show my care for him."

"But can you be a perfect mother for only eight years? It will take a long time before you can raise her properly." Sumi was silenced for a moment. Then, she answered "No. But I can be his mother for these years. He is already two years old this year. Even without his father, I can raise him more than a father can."

"Sumi, you shouldn't force yourself to do things you aren't prepared to do and the things that you can never do. It would be best for you to slay the child before he destroys the world." The voice responded. "At a time, I have already thought of doing that. However, there are still so many things I have yet to share with him. He is just a child. A child who doesn't know anything about destruction. There might still be a possible way to save him from this curse." Sumi cried.

"You know very well that I can grant any desires. However, there are two things I can never do. One, I can't bring happiness to people alone. Two, I can't remove loneliness from people alone. This curse of neutral emotions, removes every emotions from its victim. Joy, sorrow, anger, excitement, pain and every other feelings."

"So which means, you can neither end this dilemma nor end this curse. Am I correct?" Sumi asked. "Precisely. That's why I told you to kill this child for this is the only way to break the curse." The voice agreed.

"I'm sorry but I can't do that to my son. Perhaps that's the only thing I can never do." Sumi cried. "It's alright Sumi. I am neither forcing you to kill that boy nor to spare him. I am just trying to tell you what may happen when that boy get hold of the enlighted world sphere. Take your time to think Sumi. There are still eight more years for you to decide. Within those years, you must learn how to bring your mind above all else. That is the only time you'll understand how or what destruction awaits this world." The voice answered.

"Again, I ask for your apologies but, I will no longer change my mind. I have already decided to let the boy live. Even if it means I have to end my own life. I will gladly surrender it for the sake of this boy." Sumi answered back.

"You are too generous Sumi."

~ Am I not selfish? You think I'm still generous after choosing the life of my own son over the safety of this world? How unexpected. ~

There was silence. Silence until the voice broke it "It's almost time Sumi. I shall return here after six years. I hope within those years, that boy will change a lot. It's already dawn at your world. Do you wish to go back?"

"Yes. Please"

Suddenly, an orange light envelops Sumi from the dream world. Bringing her soul to her own body back. The body laying in a white bed somewhere in a hidden valley. It wasn't long before a shout from the rooster outside the house woke her up. She looked at the clock hanging on the wall. "5:30AM? It's still early." She thought. "It's Saturday today. I have plenty of time to do things here."

Soon, The sun rises completely to the skies. Before Sumi could notice it, the alarm clock sounded. Indicating that it's already 8:30AM. Sumi sat on a chair and sighed. Shortly, the words from the mysterious voice boggle her mind. "Will I kill him?" She asked herself. "Why should I?"

~ That boy didn't do anything wrong. He's just a kid. But If I kill him, then this world will be safe. What should I do? I thought I've already decided it but what is happening in my mind? ~

The silence was interrupted by a voice calling from somewhere in her house. "kaa-san! Kaa-san!" It was Rassen. No one could've called her Kaa-san for she has only one child. She smiled and stood up. Preparing to go to Rassens's room.

As she walks towards the room of Rassen, she thinks of what greetings should she present to her child. Soon, she reached the room. The next thing wasn't a beautiful sight. Rassen was holding a stick with the word light engraved in it.

Sumi ran as fast as she can to her child and swipes the stick out of reach of Rassen. She hurriedly carries Rassen from his crib. Looking for damages done to his body but luckily, found none.

Slowly, she returns Rassen to his crib and gives him a rubix cube to play with. As Rassen is being entertained by the toy, Sumi buried the Koukai Gyoku outside their house. Making it sure that Rassen will never get hold of it again.

As she walks back home, she couldn't stop thinking of how the Koukai Gyoku got in their house when no one could've entered there.

Seven days passed…

Rassen fell down from a chair. Cutting his right arm. Sumi hurriedly ran to Rassen's aid and attended to his wounds. As she works on her son's arm, she could here his son crying but… One element of crying, she did no longer see from Rassen.

~ Why? Why did tears not fall down from your eyes? Is this the first sign of destruction? ~

Sumi was shocked and secretly cried. "No way. This can't be…"
