Chapter 6: The Continuous Dream
"…" It was completely the same darkness along with the silent breath exhaled from Ki's back. The darkness and the annoyingness were the same like last time. At first, Ki thought this was a normal dream as he had been one like this.
But there is more to this dream. There was a mansion, an old one; probably abandoned for a few years. The structure was old and much like broken down. The mansion stood alone in the forest, like a haunted house. Then Ki's feet move towards it. Slowly, a step by a step, he enters. Through a corridor and into what seemed like a hall. Ki turned swung around, scanning the area around him. Then, he heard voices coming from the other hallway. Ki checked it. As the voices grew louder for every step he takes, he hid behind the wall (just in case). There appear to be 2 people… or maybe fiends were talking, much like arguing.
"Gren, are things prepared as planned?" sneer a very cold voice.
"Yes m'lord. But… are you sure?" said a much calmer voice which had a high confidence in his tune.
"Obvious, we need one of high level to summon the overlord. Silent Magician!" the cold voice grunted.
"She's a light attribute my lord! So…"
On and on they argue. Ki failed to hear them from here on. Ki's mind was swimming with the fact. He could only understand half of the argument until; he stepped on a loose wood, creating a screech.
"Whose there?" they heard him.
Ki's gasped and he burst into a sprint. He sprints out of the hallway, tear through the hall, to the exit. Unfortunately, the exit way was blocked with two fiend looking figures. The first was gold in colour, the other was silver. They each had a saber in their hand. Ki backed away but he was surrounded as another two cornered him. He panicked at first. This is a bad dream, he repeated in his mind, panicked.
Until, the rift suddenly dissolves into darkness. Ki wheeled around. The atmosphere, condition and feeling were the same like the previous time he had. Then, a woman who is white robed levitated to him. Closer and closer she comes to him. Ki, for a second had a strange feeling he know her, but not long after, he recognize her despite he never seen her before. "Silent Magician…" he said under his breath.
"…" like her name, she suited being called silent.
"…What you want? You disturbed me for quite a while now," said Ki. The magician did not say anything but instead, she raised her right arm. Ki was not sure what that might mean, but he could tell…
"BANG"
Ki laid flat on his body, breathing hard as though he had been sprinting (in his dreams that is). He had awoken from a vivid dream which his hand pressed over his face. The bruises behind his back were burning as though he was pressed by a white-hot wire to his skin.
Ki sat up, reaching for his glasses, which were on the bedside table. He puts them on and the newspaper headline was the first thing in his sights after an adjustment to the darkness. Ki turned on the lamp beside him, scrambled out of bed, across the room, to the open window. He leant on the sill, the cool night air pleasant on his face after a long time under the blankets. The burns caused by the bruise behind his back seem to have neutralized as his seats dried off. The sensation was relaxing and pleasant like a smooth touch of cold bath slipped down onto one's back.
Ki closed his eyes, recalling the dream he just had. In a broken down building, or a mansion, somewhere in the forest… in there was dark… then there were voices. They were arguing over something… something concerning about using something… then he was cornered… and there was a white robed woman, stretching her arm to him…distress.
Ki open his eyes, slowly and tiredly. He then stares into the starry nights along with the full round golden moon, hanging brilliantly on the night sky. He wheeled to check the time on the luminous alarm clock on his bedside table.
It was one o'clock in the morning. Ki was not so surprise about this because for the past few days-from the time he arrive at the academy, he had the same condition as he is now; it was the reason why he was always late for class.
The dream kept disturbing him and yet he prayed over and over not to have that dream again. Then again, he thought that it was time he put an end to this…but how? He wondered.
"RING"
Ki jumped; surprised as his PDA received a test message. Who would be sending him a test message this late? He thought. Ki checked the PDA, sitting on the bedside table, and reveals the message:
Yo, evening Ki. It's me Liner, sorry I disturb you. Thought I need some company here y'know so I call…
That was a lame excuse for a message… Ki stopped, feeling stupid, sighed. He went back to the message:
I heard from my sis that you defeated her earlier today. Wow, I really started to like ya…
Ki stared tiredly at the word 'sis', then recall the only duel he had earlier. As he had anticipated, Lapis is Liner's sister. Maybe Liner wrote wrongly. He continued:
I can't sleep well y'know so I thought I find you. Why don't you come to the Slifer dorm and we'll have some ghost stories to share, I'll introduce you to my room mate. Later.
Ki smiled and shuts it off. He packed what he need and scrambled off to the Slifer dorm. But, there seemed to be someone on his tracks.
