Chapter 4: Dream
Yūki placed the stone on her desk in her house with the Headmaster. After staring at it for a few minutes she left to go patrol the grounds. But it was all quiet that night and since it was a weekend she decided to spend the night at the Headmaster's house.
When it was finally time to crawl into bed she was exhausted. But for some reason she couldn't go to sleep. Yūki found herself staring at the stone again. The moonlight glinted off its golden surface. The effect was mesmerizing. She could almost see something swirling in its depths, like flames trapped inside a golden mirror. She rose from the bed and walked to where the stone rested.
She set her hand on its smooth surface. It seemed to pulse under her touch. It sent soothing warmth up her arm and into her body. She picked it up and took into her bed. She curled up holding the stone close to her. She felt so comfortable that she fell asleep almost at one. Unfortunately when sleep found her it wasn't peaceful.
: Dream World- Beginning:
The rain pounded onto the dark forest. When lightning flashed across the sky it illuminated the small cloaked figure running through the forest as if they were running for their very life. Another flash showed the figure's face. It was a girl. She seemed to be about twelve years old; yet, her expression was not one of a child, but a determined adult. She was dirty and her clothes were torn in several places. Her cloak kept getting caught on stray branches until she finally just ripped the fabric off of her. Her short dark hair had been tied up into a ponytail; her dark eyes flashed becoming a bright green. She clutched a cloth bundle close to her chest.
Lightning cracked across the sky again, it was immediately followed by booming thunder. The girl had broken out into a small clearing. Something dark flew past her, slicing a gash in her cheek. She let out a cry as the projectile caused her to miss her footing and she fell to the muddy ground. All the while she kept a death grip on the bundle in her arms. The ground began to tremble as several dark monsters entered the clearing.
They were laughing at her. Ragged wings flapped with their amusement. One came forward and started to kick her. The laughter became louder as they watched the girl struggled to protect her bundle. "Mamoru(1)!" the girl barked. A shimmering curtain of green light surrounded the girl. The monster's foot bounced of the light with a crackle of green light. He jumped away clutching his foot a stream of curses leaving his fanged mouth.
The girl shakily rose to her feet. She raised a hand, "Zenmetsu Saseru(2)." She ground out between coughs. Around her neck a dark green stone began to glow. The monster screamed as green light began to wind around him. When the light swelled, covering him completely, then it died and the monster was gone. A black scorch mark was on the ground where he had once stood.
The tallest one stepped forward and hissed, "Give ussss the egg, Cryssstal! You can't have much magic left. If you hand it over quietly then maybe, just maybe, we'll spare you the humiliation of dying at our hands and let you die in the mud where you belong." The figure's voice sounded like a metal serpent scrapping across a knife.
"Nageru(3)!" she yelled. Green light flashed in front of the vile speaker and he was thrown back into a tree. The girl unwrapped her bundle and held it up to the sky. The cloth fell away to reveal a golden stone.
She then spoke in a quick frantic voice. "Watashi wa watashi ni hiraku yō ni jikan to kūkan no Geitsu o meijiru(4)!" the glow at her throat grew brighter. A vortex of colors opened in the sky. Suddenly the monsters weren't laughing any more. They gave cries of alarm and surged forward. One raised a long spear and threw it at her. The green shield let off a ton of sparks when the spear connected. The girl fell to one knee as if it had hit her.
When she spoke again it was more frantic than before, "Elohim wa anata ga nakereba naranai baai ni go an'nai ga ari!" The vortex seemed to scoop the stone into itself. With another flash of lightning the vortex and the stone disappeared.
With a roar the largest monster swung a huge sword so hard into the shield that it shattered upon contact. The now very small looking girl crumpled to the ground when the shield died. The monster stalked forward as she tried to get to her feet. Just as she stood she had to dive roll to avoid getting her head cut off by the huge sword. As she came back up she drew twin daggers and lunged at the largest monster.
He ducked under the knives and reached out to grab her. His clawed hand wrapped around her throat stopping her in midair. She was shoved into a tree so hard she sank into the bark a bit. The young child coughed blood trying to breathe around the large hand. "Where did you send the egg?!" he roared at her.
She spit in his face, "You've lost. You'll never find the King's egg. NEVER!" she yelled back, her eyes were glowing green again.
Then just as the monster raised the sword again more lights flashed in the trees and voices spilled into the clearing. The dream began to meld into colors and sounds that made no sense. The rain seemed to be washing the dream away, the color swirling together like a kindergartener's finger paints. Then with a bright flash it was all gone.
: End Dream:
Yūki woke, her body jerking upward. For a moment she sat there panting; trying to calm her racing heart. It was just a dream, she told herself that, but it had all felt so real, like a memory.
She checked her clock; the red numbers said that it was almost three in the morning. The Night Class would be back in the Moon Dorm by now. She thought, she shook her self a bit trying to chase the dream out of her mind. She looked down at the stone by her side. And a shiver ran down her back. The stone looked exactly the same as the one in the dream. Come on Yūki. That's ridiculous, besides it was dark. It could have been a different stone. She thought to herself. Then, frowning, she smacked herself, Idiot! Why am I even thinking like this? I really need to go back to sleep.
So with a determined "hrumph", she turned over, put her back to the stone, and went to sleep. As the night continued on the moonlight shone down on the sleeping girl. The stone gleamed almost eerily, and then it rocked slightly; a single chirping sound breaking the quiet night.
