Soul Keys
Dear Readers,
It's time once again for..... You've got it READER PARTICIPATION!!!!!!!! Yay! ^.^ (Bounces up and down in the chair.) Only this time it isn't a vote like I did with Flesh and Silver and other fics. Rather, it will do with the kind of creature Heero's inner beast. Don't worry it'll be described in this chapter, all you need to do is give it a name. It can be any language, with a meaning of anything you choose and please no profanity. (By that I mean cuss words, racist comments, stuff that you wouldn't put into a report for school.) The reason why do this is to keep all the little picky peoples happy with me and not boot my fiction off of fanfiction. (Yes, I've noticed them doing that lately too. I just hope they don't decide to boot off Yuri or Yaoi because, well, that would be unconstitutional in many ways. (I'm 18 too, so I do have the rights of an adult.) However, I will take and consider the suggested names, just leave it at the end of your reviews. Or, if you can't do that, e- mail it to me. I will then choose one, maybe even combining two into one name. That's it, kay? On to the story.
Sincerely Yours,
FB
Chapter 4
Heero woke early the next morning, determined to find what he could do to get the key to his inner beast. Heero was soon walking through the streets toward the park. There, in the sleepy hours of morning, as he walked ever farther into the misty grounds of the small forest of this man made sanctuary away from the aweful world that Heero felt the hairs of his neck standing on edge. He soon came to a shallow pool, but, it was unlike anyother he'd seen with it's perfectly mirror like surface. Yet, somewhere deep in his mind he knew it was an ancient pool, one of the true pools of life. Even though all he'd been told of the pools from which the first living beings were created had been bubbling mud puddles of sulfer. Yet, this one was different, it was clean, pure. Heero looked inside the pool, noticing the small creatures swimming in this liquid. He could see them almost too clearly for a normal person. He brought his face closer to the water and could make out one with it's tiny wings flapping causing it to shoot across the waterlike an underwater bird. Then, as if something pulled him back, Heero woke from his dream. (That's right, from the Chapter 4 to here it was a dream scene, baby!) Of course, he found himself laying thinking about what he had seen in the dream. It was as though it were to tell him a message but, there was no time to think on it as Duo was heard in the kitchen. Heero groaned, getting up out of bed, and slowly making his way to the kitchen. Heero remembered his dream from the night before. He looked at Duo and wondered what the story behind his finding his key had been. Did he have a dream before he found his? Was it like the one he had had last night? Duo turned smiling at Heero as he revealed what he had been busy cooking. "Would you like some chocolate gravy and biscuits?" Duo asked
"That sounds discussing." Heero said arching one eyebrow slightly.
"No, it's good. A southern food. I found out about when I was younger. It's good." Duo replied.
After which he dipped a biscuit into the gravy and ate it. "Duo, did you ever... Have a dream before finding your key and book?" Heero asked.
"Hm? No... Not that I remember....," Duo replied. "But, the book may have something about that."
"Do you think so?" Heero asked.
"Sure, dreams are ways of interupting events or information. You could have a dream of... Oh, falling into a pit and not being able to get back out before a large loss of profits or a cut in your pay." Duo said.
"Are you sure I could find my key?" Heero asked.
"Positive, Heero. You're one of the ones who have a strong amount of instincts even without the key. Also, you're one of the few who actually know a person who's found their key already, a huge advantage if you were to ask me." Duo took another bite of his breakfast.
"When will I find it though?" Heero asked.
"Hmph?! Heero, do you realize that being impatient is a big wrong?" Duo explained. "I wasn't ready for mine even when I did first transform. I let the animal instincts control me, because I was weak when I transformed. I was to giving into my emotions at that time."
"So, if I were to get it now, I might not be ready to use it for a while?" Heero asked.
"Well, that depends, when I got mine I was in morning over a great loss." Duo explained. "We could see what the book says about all of this Heero. Just hold the questions until after I'm done with my meal could you?"
"All right." Heero replied, going to take a shower.
.....
Later, as Heero sat on his bed cross legged, Duo sat backwards on a folding chair reading his book. "Enaeo vin'ek af niw'het ia bof'ei...." Duo muttered. "Oh, here it is.... Okay, I'll say it in plain English. Dreams are powerful tools of the soul. They can predict future events, open one's eyes to the world around them, or tell stories of themselves or the past. There are few who have dreams involving their inner beast."
Duo paused looking at Heero for a second. "These people tend to have ancient soul beasts, dating back to the first creatures to walk upon this earth. These few who have dreams tend to say it was from their creatures point of view. Also, in very rare cases the dreamer finds his key not in the physical plane, but in the dreamworld.... That sound like you're kind of dream?" Duo asked.
"Yes, excactly like it." Heero replied.
"Well, then, you should find your key soon, just, be careful not to fall into the habit of letting this being control you, try to control it while you're having that kind of dream." Duo told him.
Heero looked at Duo carefully as he took care of his dishes. Heero couldn't help but wonder why he never noticed how hot Duo's butt was before that moment. As Duo went to get a shower in Heero turned bright red while thinking of what Duo looked like while taking a shower. (He didn't mean while in the creature form either.) So, to take his mind off of what his friend could be doing Heero headed out for a morning walk.
End Chapter: Heero finds his key, but, with his conflicting feelings for Duo can he handle his soul beast?
