The Eclipse of the Fallen Moon
Orion stared in awe at the despairing pit in the middle of the flaming oval, hoping that maybe, just maybe, it would relieve her of her pain. She closed her eyes and slowly placed her hand inside the flaming pit, only to find that the flaming oval remained immobile and even less comforting then before. Then, in a near instant, it felt like some invisible force was trying to rip her memories from her head. Thinking that it might relieve her from the sorrowful pain that was torturing her soul, she didn't fight back.
Her parent's murder....her brother's death..her 5 minutes with her perverted boyfriend in the closet before he was decapitated by Nephrite.....NO!!, she thought, That's personal!!
Almost as if commanded, the searing pain and hateful memories stopped. With trembling and sweaty legs, Orion stood up and once again stared at the flaming pit in the eclipse ,only to fall down again and break down, crying. "An eternity of pain.," she muttered through her tears. In a last attempt to stand up, her legs finally started working again. Still sobbing, she stared, once more, into the center of the flames: There was a black mirror, or at least it appeared to be. She placed her hand on it, expecting it to be solid, and her hand went through it, and she quickly retriever her hand, afraid of the consequences. "oh..."she gasped as she saw her reflection : A blood red, tear stained face , standing in front the eclipse of the fallen moon.
