Chapter 9

Ryou suddenly felt warm air around him; soothing his pain and agony. He heard soothing voices telling him that everything was fine. The albino didn't want this feeling to end, he wanted it to last forever. But like any great things, they have to have an ending. Ryou felt pain pouring out of every pore in his body. There were screams and cries of pain everywhere, making his ears explode. As suddenly as everything began, silence surrounded him. He could faintly hear a female's voice singing. Ryou opened his eyes to see a blond haired, blue eyed angel. The albino gasped as realization crashed into him.

"M-mother?" Ryou asked with a stutter. The angel nodded her head as if to say yes. "Am I in heaven?"

"No son, just the Realm of Dreams." the angel said.

"Why are we here?" Ryou asked walking closer to his mother.

"I need to tell you something." the angel said. "That earthquake has changed the world."

"How so?" Ryou asked.

"I can not tell you what happened, but i can tell you that thing will never be the same." the woman said.

"Thank you mother." Ryou said hugging his mom.

You have a few minutes 'til you have to return to the living world. Is there anything you want me to do for you?" the angel asked.

"Could you sing for me mother?" Ryou asked hopefully. The angel smiled down at her son.

"Anything for you my son." She said and began singing. "One painful step at a time. Something keeps pulling me down. Walking the path you have shown me. Somehow I'm losing ground. So pull me out of my weakness. Set my feet on the path. And I'll close my eyes I'll feel my way. I'll trust the whisperings of my faith. Keep cleaving to you Father. With every step until this life is through. Help me hold onto you. I'm letting go of my will. And learning to follow you. Trusting that when i surrender. You're there to pull me through. You rescued me from the darkness. You set me feet on the path. I'm closing my eyes. I'm feeling my way. Trusting the whisperings of my faith. I'm cleaving to you, Father. With every step until this life is through. I'm holding onto you." Ryou started singing with his mother.

"Hold to the rod. The iron rod. 'tis strong and bright and true. The iron rod is the word of god. Twill safely guide us through." Ryou sanged.

"I'm closing my eyes. I'm feeling my way." The angel sanged. "Trusting the whisperings of my faith. I'm cleaving to you, Father. With every step until this life is through. I'm holding onto you." Ryou fell asleep listening to his mother's voice unknown to the troubles he will go through when he next woke up.
