Whoa, my God. This has been FAR too long in between updates. So sorry to anyone out there who's actually still reading this. :bows, Japanese style, regardless of the fact that the only bits of Japanese culture she knows are from three years of failed Japanese lessons in elementary school and a couple of friends in Japanese 1:
Disclaimer: I don't own Dragon Knights. I do force... Er... Convince people to read them, however.
Warning: Possible confusion, as the last update was many, many months ago. More confusion coming up as I am finally thinking of adding in a plot and attempting to explain things.
:n:
Rath's hand loosened it's grip on his school bag, and it fell to the floor, shaking his room and mimicking his reality.
It was, he looked around, completely normal. There was nothing to clue him in on what fate had plotted behind his veiled eyes.
But it was raining.
The thick drops of water hit the closed glass panes of his window, just as he had seen though his half-dream.
Rath cast an unsteady glance into the heavy gray shroud outside his house, taking a tentative step forward. He took another, and shortly found himself standing directly in front of the transparent barrier, a pale hand reaching out to press against it.
His skin touched the glass, sharp as ice, and he found himself immobilized as past memories flooded his body in a flickering wave of tension.
An outline of a young girl, black wavy hair flowing loosely behind her, thin black dress clinging to her skinny frame etched itself onto the backs of his staring eyes.
His brow suddenly furrowed.
No. That couldn't be right.
Her hair had been brown.
:I'm fifteen for a moment, caught in between ten and twenty...:
Rath mentally jumped a foot, rounding about and staring, startled at the alarm clock radio nestled next to his plain white bed.
:...And I'm just dreaming--:
A long white hand snatched out and Rath turned it off, perhaps a little more forcefully then he would normally have.
"I must have misset it."
His words hung shakily in the still air, the pattering of cold rain doing nothing to erase their essence.
Letting his mind... No. Forcing his mind to travel back, he found himself staring once more at an all too familiar face.
It was the same girl, he was sure of it.
But why would that matter so greatly? So it was her. She had moved back. So what? Why did it matter?
It certainly wasn't latent feelings that were causing his unconscious to work into overtime.
Rath looked out the window once more, staring up at the sky.
It seemed that he was suddenly standing at the joint connecting two separate worlds: the land of reality, of his present; and the one of his childhood. The latter of the two had been washed away long ago, leaving him with only faded memories.
And now that he thought about it, he did not wish to investigate them.
However, it seemed that that was currently his only choice.
Abandoning all thoughts of school and homework and teenage life, he focused his attention out the clear wall of glass, searching for answers within the haze.
He knew it was pointless. Watching the rain fall would tell him nothing. Nothing he wanted to hear. Nothing logical could be seen in his forgotten life. And yet...
Perhaps an explanation, one long over due, would be found.
:--Counting the ways to where you are...:
The radio struck up it's haunting song once more, and this time Rath did nothing to stop it.
:n:
Whoo, God. As before... That took me WAY too long to get out. Sorry about that.
Happy holidays!
Animegoil: Thanks! Um, yeah. Basically. lol. Hopefully you've gotten it somewhat figured out. I don't. :shifty eyes:

Capella: Chapter names? Thanks. Everyone needs something to obsess about(Thatchelthachelthatchelthatchel...)! He'll notice everyone else, too. But... You know how Rath is... Stupid Cesia-obsessive Rath... ...Um. I don't mean that. Don't hurt me, anybody...
Alyson Metallium: :loves your name: Yesss!! Awesome name! Not only is your first name "Allyson"(Or, well... "Alyson"), but your last name begins with an "M"! :highfives: Nice job!
