01. recollection

[ play.

it feels too real to be a dream.

in fact, it isn't. these are memories; real events that happened in the past. real events that she forgot all about up until now.

rock's body shivers, and she side steps to avoid being hit by embers; there's a fire growing, circling her and trapping her inside.

her face contorts into an expression showing confusion. fear.

and she swears, she can hear the word disappear resonating in her ears, it echoes and it takes over her mind.

her legs bend and she ends up squatting, arms curled around her legs and her face pressed against the fabric of her cloak.

she sobs as quietly as she can. hopefully no one comes around. ]

Oh, someone's coming around. In fact, they're dropping in just now. Literally.

You see, Subaru's just walked out of somebody else's memory just a few moments prior, and ended up in the air in this one. It takes him a few moments to realize that he's falling, but once he does, he's screaming.

And then suddenly, moments before he hits the ground, he's gone. Or at least, from visible sight. Could Rock see the odd alien that had managed to just grab at his ankle in the nick of time, turning him into waves to prevent an impact? Or does it simply just look like a random hallucination, an eleven-year old child inexplicably appearing, falling, then vanishing again?

Crying won't help you much.

[At this point, crying kids in the middle of nowhere aren't really so weird anymore.]

Hey, kiddo, you okay?

I SHOULD BE ON HIATUS BUT THIS IS JUST PERFECT

[Flames.
Flames everywhere.
Was this death? Or had he survived, only to be taunted and destroyed by his other brother?
This was the first dream Cilan had entered, after all - garbed in his black Shadow Triad clothes. He'd appeared... like, just behind Rock, trapped in the ring of fire.

He could only chuckle, darkly.]
