A Tale of Two Seeds
Chapter 5 – Darkness Falls
Darkness..............
The rays of the sun had long ago slipped into the cold depths of the ocean and darkness covered the land. A gentle breeze slowly drifted through the trees surrounding the Mishima complex. A few guards walked the perimeter. All was peaceful and calm.
Darkness..............
Darkness...............
Reaching for me through me then....................nothing but
Darkness................
No not just darkness.............. Something else............ Something different..................
Light............................then...............
"NO!!!!!!"
With a start Kazuya Mishima awakes from the familiar dream. His body is drenched in sweat and the giant scar on his chest throbs. He is out of breath and it appears that the scar is glowing a pale red.
"Again! Its happening again!"
It has been months since he last had this dream. It is still as familiar to him now as from the first night he had it. First the bright colors turning dark. Then that thing reaching for him, through him then...............nothing. Slowly as the pain from his scar subsides Kazuya slides out of bed and walks over to the large mirror. Looking at his reflection he traces the ragged scar across his massive chest.
"How many more times must I endure this! I will rid myself of this, WEAKNESS!"
Crossing over to a large rug in the middle of the room, Kazuya kneels and prepares to eradicate the dream from his mind one piece at a time. He has used this method before, but it only seems to work for several months at a time. The process is simple really. Recall the dream, see each scene in your mind, and simply forget them. His eyes close and the images come to him again.
COLOR...........................
Darkness.........................
Reaching for me............
Through me...................
Then....nothing..............but...............
"LIGHT!" The newness of it hits Kazuya. His mind reels. Something new. He has never experienced any dream but the darkness. He slowly regains his composure and draws inward once again. "There," he thinks as he finds the light in his mind's eye once again. Closer and closer he approaches until he can make out a small form within the light. Then he losses control...........
Darkness..................
Reaching for me.................
Through me.................
For her...............
A sudden intake of breath is the only sound in the room as Kazuya wakes. His arms are twitching and his eyes can't focus. After several minutes he finally is able to move his head enough to see the complete and utter destruction of his room. There are burn marks along the walls. Large holes are everywhere. Never before has it been this bad.
"NO! NOT AGAIN!!!"
Kazuya staggers to his feet and with a stumbling ramble walks toward what is left of the door. One thought is predominant in the front of his mind......
"I must find her! I need to know!"
