A/N: Here it is… the last dream. Read it please, thanks!
CYE MOURI
The water of the lake was cool and crisp as he dived into it. Soothing; he was free in his element. Swimming calmed him and took the stress from his aching body. It felt good to escape; to not worry, to not think. He closed his eyes and allowed the lake to do whatever it pleased with his body.
Cye…
He heard his name being called. He didn't care.
Cye…
He heard it again.
Cye… help me…
The voice could barely be heard over the rush of the water. But it was there all the same. It called out to him for his help. He couldn't tune it out anymore. He had to help. He listened to it, pinpointing where it was coming from. He allowed the current of the water pull him under the surface of the lake and deeper into the depths.
Cye… help… please…
He recognized the voice now: Alvina. She had to be stuck somewhere. He swam faster, deeper, determined to find her. He came up to an opening in the side of the wall of the lake. He swam into it and turned upward, surfacing inside of an underground cave that was adorned with forming crystals. Hundreds of candles cast light everywhere, pushing through the crystals to create small rainbows on the walls and ceiling.
The place was eerily quiet. Nothing moved; everything was still. This wasn't right. Something was wrong; he knew it. Cautiously, he pulled himself out of the water onto the moist rock floor of the cavern. His heart was beating faster than was normal for him. There was definitely something very wrong here. He couldn't help but sense danger inside every shadow. The setting itself also put stress on his nerves.
It didn't make sense: about a hundred lit candles inside an underground/underwater cavern?
Donning his subarmor for safety, Cye walked slowly into the cavern. He followed the trail of candles that led deep into the bowels of the cave. The feeling of this isn't right put his stomach into knots. He continued walking. He needed to find Alvina and get her out of here.
His eyes focused on a figure on the ground up a head. The body was wearing a pair of jeans with the cuffs in shreds and a light blue tank top. Shoulder length golden orange hair spread out in wet clumps on the stone ground.
"Alvina!" Cye ran over to her, sliding to a halt on his knees next to her. He picked up Alvina and held her close to his body. She was cold, and her lips were blue, her skin pale. She was breathing strongly though, like nothing was wrong, and her pulse was normal. What was going on?
A low rumble of laughter surrounded him. Pure evil echoed from the sound as it bounced off of the walls, hindering Cye from pinpointing the source's location. He hated the sound of the laughter. He hated the laughing creature with a passion.
"What's wrong Torrent? Shark got your tongue?"
"Sekhmet!" he called.
"Well, at least you still know my name."
"What did you do to her?"
"Nothing."
Cye placed Alvina gently back on the ground and stood up. He turned in his place, trying to find his enemy.
"Show yourself you worthless snake!"
Sekhmet walked out from behind a stalagmite a few meters away from where he was standing, in his full armor and one of his many swords in his hand. The Warlord of Venom stared at Cye, then moved his gaze over to the unconscious girl on the ground. He smirked.
"What are you laughing about?" Cye spat.
"Do you really think she cares about you?" Sekhmet asked. "It's a shame she didn't contact you sooner that she was taken."
"What are you talking about?"
"She doesn't care about you, Torrent."
"That's a lie…"
"No it's not. You are such a fool. You allow thing s to get in front of your eyes. You allow petty annoyances to distract you from the truth. My Master will be pleased with my offering."
"Talpa?"
"Absolutely not. Lord Yukio. He wanted her, so he has her. He always gets what he wants. As for you… SNAKE FANG STRIKE!"
Cye didn't have time to block the attack. His reflexes made him jump out of the way to the side, away from Alvina. Sekhmet leaped over to Alvina and picked her up and placed her over his shoulder. Sekhmet glanced over at Cye and grinned evilly before disappearing.
Cye couldn't believe what just happened. Alvina was gone. What just happened! He let that scum bag get away with her. How could he have allowed that? Cye took out his trident and blindly swung it at a stalagmite, completely obliterating it. The shock wave vibrated through the rocks and a small stone fell from above, hitting Cye in the head hard enough to blank him. He fell to his knees and landed face down on the floor…

A/N: Well? That's the end of this. Don't worry, I'm not out of ideas yet…(continues to type wildly on the keyboard, laughing maniacally, then hiccuping suddenly.)
