Ch.4~ Azraelis and Oprheus
Ira sat on the cool thin sheets of her bed, tracing the empty silver lining on her necklace. The cool metal brushed against her skin and she sighed, deply lost in a reverie. The sweet colorless dream she had been having came back to her.
There was a land faraway..so faraway that such a place was only dreamed about in deep forbidden thoughts. Its inhabitants were shrewd and filled with deep intellect, allowing them to create extravagant technology. There were dry echoes from the exciting shouts of voices in a nearby lab, and many of the inhabitants gathered around to experience what they had all been wanting to see. They watched as a man dressed in a bleak dull color appear holding a bundle. The man's eyes were dull as his facial expresison was. "I bring you", he began clearly without any intonation in his cold voice. "Experiment O" The beings gathered around him sighed with happiness and watched intently as he held the bundle up, revealing a baby. "And here lies the future of Orpheus."
The strident sound of her alarm clock suddenly broke through her daydream, and she sat up abruptly, bringing a hand to her aching head. Groaning, she released her empty pendant, as it had grown warm and unfavorable to touch. The glow of the silver moon deranged the bitter darkness, and broke through the cool eerie feeling of lonliness. The girl turned and glanced at her clock. 8 PM. She let out a sigh of frustration. "I thought I set it to 8 AM.what the.", her voice stopped as she felt a rush of insecurity brush against her. The ominous feeling of another presence in the room came over her and she shuddered. Her heart pounded furiously against her chest as she skimmed the room in great fear. Her eyes fell upon a dark figure. Gasping, she clutched the sheets of her bed to her body and gaped wide eyed. "Lady Ira", a deep raspy tenor voice suddenly rang out through the silence. Squinting her eyes slowly, the girl leaned forward a bit to scrutinize the being who had suddenly appeared in front of her. "Lady..Ira? Who are you?" "I.", the man stepped towards the window, allowing the moon's rays hit him. "I am Seizm of Azraelis, the court of Queen Ahraune." Ira said nothing, as she had been dumbfounded and in a state of shock. Her eyes slowly skimmed his appearance and her hands slowly lowered her bed sheets. He was still a young man.around 20 perhaps. His dark eyes were eluded by the light of the moon, and his hair was wild, proving that his physical appearance was negligible to him. "What.are you doing here, then?", she managed to whisper. Her breath began quavering, and her hands began to tremble. "What do you want from me?" "You are Lady of the Omega", Seizm continued, suddenly leaning in so close to the girl's face. "You are destined to help Azraelis bring destruction to the moon." The girl stared into his dark eyes with confusion. The bitterness in his eyes made her shiver with fear. "What?", she managed to whisper. Seizm sighed and turned away, pacing elegantly to the window. "You don't remember..", he murmured quietly, more to himself. "I don't.", she replied watching him, hoping he would soon leave. "You are mistaken." "No. You are the one who is mistaken. Your memory of Orpheus has vanished.and your mission with it" The coldness in his voice suddenly struck her hard and her heart began pounding faster. Orpheus.it was her dream. The sudden images of the stolid looking man pervaded in her mind, and her head began to throb with chaotic pain. "Orpheus.", she managed to choke out, remembering the bundle.the baby. "The stern man.the crowd.the exotic lands. Could that be." She looked up for an answer, but found herself alone with nothing but a rush of cool air.
