Chapter 4: Boxed Messages

~Please help me ... please help ...~ A beautiful aqua face was calling out to her. Reaching out to her. ~The water eclipse ... the water eclipse ... you must find it for me ...~ The girl recoiled her hand. ~Please ...~ A flash of light and darkness.

Haruka and Ryu both awoke with a start, looking around frustrated. Ok ... now I'm a believer. You had the dream too?! Ryu nodded, regretting the fact that he did. Amongst the floor rested open books, and as Ryu turned his head Haruka bursted into a fury of laughter. Black ink marks were spread all across his cheek, text written backwards from a page he slept on. Rubbing his cheek viciously he growled, That's not funny!!! We either have a beautiful woman who wants to save the world from lord knows what, or a beautiful woman who wants to destroy it for lord knows what. Thank you, like I hadn't already figured that out on my own. The blonde replied, sticking her tongue out at him. The problem is, we don't know what this thing looks like or where we can find it.

Ryu scratched his chin in thought, Hey, what about that box you found? These dreams didn't start happening till _after_ you took it ... Haruka looked as if she could kiss him - looked as if. She ran over to the closet and pulled out her suitcase, tossing things left and right out of it. Where is that stupid thing?! After what seemed like she emptied it's entire contents, she finally pulled out a large flat package wrapped in red velvet. Laying it gently on the bed they removed the fabric and looked at it from every angle. Dude, how do we get it open? Ryu asked, completely fumbled by it's mystery. It doesn't even look like it does open. He added, picking it up and looking underneath.

Haruka sighed as the sun began setting, when suddenly it flashed. The blonde blinked and stared at it intently, Did you see that?! What did you do?! The two sat staring at it again for some time before it flashed several rays of light again. Haruka looked up, Hold it up in the sun!! He picked it up and began rotating it slowly in the sunlight, when pictures and hieroglyphics began reflecting against the walls. She walked up to the wall and scribbled the translation down quickly.

The power of light is an angel from heaven
The wielder is born under the stars of seven
Life is their omen, Death is their gift
Should their Savior disappear into a drift
Under darkness, it is an angel from hell
The wielder casts the Earth under their spell
Only ceasing when existence is nothing
The inevitable rising in the Final Darkening

Ryu set the box down once she was finished and poked over Haruka's shoulder reading her translation. I definately don't get it.
