Prelude #5
Gusts of fitful winds are the first things that I can register. As if I'm being blown back and forth by a hurricane, and it refuses to let me down. The next thing I feel is rain on my face as my eyes slowly open, and to my surprise, I'm standing still.
As the winds keep blowing, I feel now that they're actually going around me, giving me way to work myself around without any problem. After I reach the center of the circular platform, the storm stops and I take this chance to finally observe my surroundings. What I saw astonished me.
A feminine figure stood tall through the center, with long white hair, tan skin, a white tank top, and khaki cargo shorts. Her eyes were closed, but her lips were smooth. She was holding a paintbrush, as if she herself painted the platform for me, for us. On the outer edges where large stars, going all around the circumference of the mural. Behind her head were four circles, interlocking inside of one that encompassed them all. Finally, there was a backdrop of a rainy night, the clouds coming towards the land, as they slowly engulfed the stars in the sky.
I spent what felt like hours admiring the beauty beneath me.
Not long after that, a blinding light ignited my hands, and when it died down, I was holding two beautiful looking sai. They were grey like storm clouds, with slighting shifting colors. The hilt was as an ornate silver, with gold bands wrapped around it, and the pommel was a ruby gem, with a keyhole design inside of it, tempting me to swing them. And swing them I did, they cut through the air beautifully, and as I flipped and spun, they flowed as if a part of my being.
Eventually, I ended my acrobatics, and started to breathe, calming myself down, when the sai vanished in another flash of light, and the rain picked up again. After a few seconds, a voice came into my head and I began to drift back to sleep. Ending this the way I started, with the addition of this repeating phrase going through my head.
"May the storm carry you, and lead you down the road to victory, Arashi..."
