"I believe the dream worked well."
"Yes, he is more perceptive now."
"We will have to watch him still.
"Of course, ancient blood has already started coursing through his blood."
Someone was shaking me when I jumped up.
"Are you ok man?" asked a voice I couldn't recognize. I turned around and found myself staring into the most beautiful green eyes I had ever seen on anyone. She smiled sweetly down at me and I blushed.
"Yah, I think I just fell asleep," I mumbled quietly.
"Well you were shaking a bit hard so I just came by to make sure everything was ok."
"Thanks for your concern. There's one question I would like to ask though. Was there, any, uh sort of, battle or something here?" I asked hesitantly. The girl stared back at me blankly, a puzzling glance in her eyes. I think she was wondering whether I was sane or not.
"No.....there' was no attack. Are you sure you're doing ok?"
"Yeah. I just need some sleep. Good night."
"You do that and take care. By the way, name's Linda."
"Nice to meet you. My name's" I froze for a second remembering I couldn't use my real name lest it cause problems. I racked my head for some creative names and pulled a blank. And out of nowhere, something whispered to my brain Jade. So naturally I went with it, "name's Jade."
"Well nice to meet you to. If you need anything, just ask."
"Thanks. But uh, could you show me where room 257 is?"
"257!? Uh right this way," she hesitantly turned to show me the way there. I noticed her give me a side-glance and wondered what the room number 257 meant. I took one step forward, and the hairs on the back of spine stood on foot. I spun around immediately and looked around me. Nothing, but I could swear something, or worse, someone, was watching me. The question is who or what. And why. So many questions and I didn't have a single answer. When I once more tried to continue forward, I heard noises in the bush. I yanked around again and stared to the place where I last heard the sound.
"Jade, you ok?" asked a concerned Linda. She was giving me that eye again, the eye girls give you when they're like 'come on, I don't have all day for this, I need to go shopping.' "Is something the matter?"
"There's something out there."
"No there isn't. The security system would have picked it up a long time ago. Plus, I would be able to see it. My ability is the power to see through anything. I can also mimic it, a very handy ability."
"Shhh...." I could sense it. Somehow. My body seemed to be gearing up for something. When I should have been feeling tense and freaked out, I was feeling very calm and quiet. I looked around and noticed the wind chimes were shaking. Only problem was that there was no wind. I pointed it out to Linda and she stared at it for a moment and she concluded that it was a prank.
"There are a lot of mutants here who just absolutely love to play pranks and cruel tricks on people. It's just another of these. Don't worry about it. I mean," I rose up my hand and cut her off. I could definitely sense something. It was moving, stalking me. An eerie feeling came over me. I turned to Linda, and told her, "go get Charlene now. Please, there's no time to explain. It's an emergency." She looked at me slightly odd and seemed to think it would be wiser to just comply than argue and so went ahead and ran up to Charlene's room. Meanwhile, I stood there in the dark, alone and unguarded with a something out there. I braced myself as my body grew tense all of a sudden. I didn't know why or how but I knew something was about to attack me and I was doing everything I could to get ready, and it was all on autopilot too. It was as if I was watching a bad movie from an even worse TV set where you know something is about to happen but you can't see everything happening.
I closed my eyes and reached out with my senses. Whatever it was, or whoever it was, was getting ready for its attack. I just hoped I was ready.
"Sapphirot!"
"What?" answered a quite disgruntled Sapphirot.
"Are you ready?"
"Do I have to go out there?"
"Yes. You promised them."
"But I'm not in the mood. I don't feel so good."
"You've been saying that for the past two days Sapphirot. I'm you best friend, you can tell me what's wrong."
"I don't know Dustin. It's these weird dreams I've been having. I mean I'm not even asleep sometimes and I dream about these things. They just happen and during that time, it's like time stops and nothing else matters."
"Well, what are they about" asked Dustin, one of Sapphirot's true friends. They had been friends for as long as either could remember.
"It's always something jade, or someone with jade eyes."
"Does it have anything to do with, you know," Dustin couldn't finish the question as he was scared to the reaction that Sapphirot might have.
'I think it is Dustin. And I'm scared. I don't want to relive it."
"You won't relive anything Sapphirot. You have to do this. You have to remember; otherwise you'll never be at rest."
"But why does it have to be so hard?"
"Because your you Sapphirot, you've never done anything the easy way, and I don't want you to mar that record."
Sapphirot let out a deep sigh and stood up as he gathered his coat. He wasn't about to just go back to his house. He had to go to and deliver the news to Luzio. It sure wasn't going to be plesant. He looked up to the moon and found once more that it wasn't the white it should be, but the jade that plagued his mind. Why?
Charlene was meditating when she sensed disturbance coming towards her. Before she could get up her door bust open and in rushed a frantic Linda.
"Mam, Jade said he needed you. I think he might be losing it, saying something is in the yard when the security has picked up nothing. I tried to explain it to him but it was to no avail."
Jade? thought Charlene. And it hit her then, Jaden. "Lead the way." And off they both rushed down to the yard.
I heard the rustling of the grass and the wind bent a little to the left. With eyes still closed, I formed my hands into fists and prepared my whole body. Now was the time to test out all that martial arts training I had gone through. If only I had a katana, it would be so much easier. Rustling to the right, then to the left, and then it was behind me. I swung my left leg out and flipped to the right when I felt the ground vibrate and shake. In the moonlight, I saw my aggressor and let out an earsplitting scream. And it carried all the way to...
Sapphirot was about to get in his car when he clutched his ears and fell to the pain. A loud scream had erupted in his ears and he had no idea where it was coming from. He opened my eyes and found everything was a deep jade except for one path. A path that seemed to continue on to the end of his eyesight. With the shout gone, the pain dissipated and he got into his car. He tried to blink his eyes, but no matter what he did, everything was jade except for the path that stood in front of him. The car yanked into the path and shot straight ahead, the mystical powers of the wind helping it pick up speed until it hit 200 miles per hour to which time everything around him shone with a brilliant jade. He stopped the car and got out. He had no idea where he was but he knew something was here that he needed to see. He ventured to the area which was the brightest and the sight which greeted him made his skin crawl.
There before him stood an ethereal koyux, a beast of the dead. Its powers were rumored to be extraordinary and only the strongest of the mutants had but a chance. The koyux had its back to him and Sapphirot was unable to see who its victim was. Should he help, he thought to himself. Before he could make up his mind, the koyux shot into the air and landed in the next instant about 50 feet ahead of its previous location. He saw movement to his left and before he could realize what was going on, someone ran into him and they both tumbled to the ground. He looked up and found himself staring into jade eyes. He then knew he had found the owner of those eyes that plagues his visions and memory. But who was this person?
The beast stuck again and I dodged away again. I looked back at it and found it staring back at me. If I wasn't so scared shitless, I would found the whole standoff knee-slapping funny. But now, my life was at stake. The thing shot into the air and I immediately ran to my right and was propelled forward by the force of the impact the thing had onto the ground. I tumbled forward and tripped into someone. We both tumbled to the ground and I opened myself and found myself looking into the most dazzling sapphire eyes. As I was trying to get up, I felt the wind blowing up and I then knew that the thing had reared itself and was getting ready to strike. I whispered to he boy underneath me, "get ready to run. On my count to five, run to the left and I'll run to the right. One...two...five." He and I both shot up and ran separate both directions. I turned around and saw that the boy was safe and that the damned creature was still in one piece, ever after all those times of ramming onto the ground.
"FIRE!" I heard someone yell whose voice distinctly resembled Charlene's. The air was suddenly alighted with zaps and shocks and bolts and other various explosions as they all found their target at the beast. I gently ran around it and searched for the boy. I found him hiding crouching down. I started walking to him hoping he wasn't hurt when I say his eyes were burning white. I stopped dead in my tracks as he raised his hands into the air and an enormous lightning bolt shot from the sky and hit its target at the center of the beast's body. I saw that the thing was fried but it still kept slithering to me. As another lightning bolt came down, I saw the whole thing. The thing was like a huge serpent. Its body was covered in all scales, pitch black, and was about 60 feet long. Its head was about 10 feet wide and 15 feet long. Huge fangs extended down from its mouth as it continued slithering towards me. I looked over at the boy and he was still concentrating on the bolts.
I knew I had to lead the damned snake away from the boy so I took a chance and ran for it, across the plain directly across from the snake. What I didn't expect was its tail to come flying towards me. It caught me in the stomach and I flew back 100 feet and landed with a thud and my head pounded against the ground. I heard a few ribs and bones crack but at least I had gotten the beast away from the boy as it now started to move towards me.
Charlene quickly rushed out onto the patio and was greeted with the back of the head of a koyux. She sent out to a message to the whole university and soon, every student and teacher was awake and on the outside. <Everyone, get ready to fire everything you have at the snake thing. To those of you that know what koyux means, that's what it is. Ready, be patient. "FIRE!" Everything went towards it but just as she guessed, the koyux only shook the blast off. Out of nowhere came a sizzling lightning bolt that hit dead center on the beast. Charlene looked around but found no one firing. She knew it could be no one on her side because no one could summon such powerful bolts alone, and there was only one person who could. The simple thought chilled her to the bone. But she had no time for this. As she prepared for a psychic assault on the koyux, she saw Jaden run out of his hiding place. Before she could warn him, he was caught with the force of the koyux's tail. Never had she seen a koyux move that fast. It could only mean one thing; this was a royal koyux but why? No time for that now she thought. She had to make a decision, and she had to do it now. She ran down to her room and again, and blasted open a wall and placed in all her psionic functions, capabilities and codes that unlocked the safe. She quickly dug through it and found what she was looking for. She rushed back to the open air and searched for where it was. She saw the koyux and an injured Jaden trying in vain to run from it. Now or never she thought, praying that it worked. <Jaden, this is Charlene. I'm throwing to you a katana. You said you knew how to use one. Well, use this. Just make sure whatever you do, never look the snake in the eyes. And one other thing, read the inscription on this blade.> With that, she flung the katana into the air and straight towards Jaden.
I heard a twang and found a stunning beautiful and slender katana about a foot away. Without taking time to marvel at its beauty, I took the hilt and pulled it out. I looked at the name and read it out loud...
Sapphirot kept shooting the bolts at the koyux but the koyux was only shaking them off. He tried harder and harder and it seemed to be working. The koyux was slowing down slightly. He just hoped the boy was okay because the boy had led the beast away from him and was hit in the process. He heard Charlene's yells and paid no attention to them, concentrating on his relentless attacks. He saw a blade fly through the air and then he stopped firing his bolts and his eyes lost their glow as he heard the words that chilled him to the bone...
..."Ya Soshla S Uma." Seeing nothing happen and the beast suddenly stop in its tracks I used the opportunity to race toward the snake. It might have been suicide, but I wasn't about to surrender to a snake. As I leaped into the air, katana outstretched, I saw the two things that Charlene told me not to, its eyes. I now understood why, because those eyes were not eyes, but empty, void holes that bore into my very soul. I tried to shake off the feeling while I was trying to attack but I gave it enough to strike. It swung its head towards me. I was able to dodge the fangs but I was hit with the whole force of its gigantic head. I was sent flying back yet I was able to use the katana to soften and reduce my drop.
I looked back at it and found that I could see nothing but those eyes now. I tried to blink but all I saw were those eyes. As I head an intake of breath, I knew it was preparing for the final attack, the fatal blow, the last one, and me as its prey. In slow motion, I swung out the katana in a move I had never known I could do before, with my eyes closed, I prepared to defend myself. As I took my stance, something in me told me form in a certain way and so I complied, feeling nothing could go worse. As soon as that thought crossed my mind, I regretted it. For the snake had leaped into the air and was coming straight down at me. All the bolts and zaps and explosions were doing nothing to slow it down. In fact, it seemed to spur the beast on even more. I took my stance and lurched into the air, katana facing straight ahead. And that's when I heard it, the voices.
Charlene tried in vain to keep up the barrage. Her breath caught in her throat as she saw the koyux prepare for its kill. She was about to rush in there herself when she head the song. The song of which helped the wielder of the katana perform the most complicated art forms. She stood stock-still as she saw the stage and play and actors, putting on the final act.
Jaden stood up and prepared to rush in and was nearly halfway there when he say the koyux spin into the air and begin its descent. He pushed himself harder and when he was about three-quarters of the way there, she froze as he heard an ancient song, the song, Ya Soshla S Uma.
Ya soshla s uma, ya soshla s uma Mne nuzha ona, mne nuzha ona Ya soshla s uma, ya soshla s uma Mne nuzha ona, mne nuzha ona
YA SO-SHLA S U-MA
I jumped into the air and swung the katana right into the right eye. The monster cried out in pain, the first noise I heard come out from it. The thing veered off to the right. Big mistake. I did an uppercut and took out the left eye as well. The monster yelled in pain and its tail came out and swung at me.
Menya polnostyu net Absolyutno vser'ez Situastsiya help Situastsiya SOS
I was able to dodge the tail and clung to its scales as I started shredding the scale I was on to pieces. Just as I was doing that, I heard the tail come up for me. In the last moment I jumped up and landed on the middle part of the tail as the beast took a beating to its already shattered body from its own tail. I heard a sickening crush as the beast impaled itself with its tail.
Ya sebya ne pojmu Ty otkuda vzyalas Pochemu, pochemu? Na tebya povelas
Vyklyuchaestsya svet Ya keuda - to lechu Bez tebya menya net Nichego ne khogu
I took the opportunity and swung my katana at the tail. It found its mark and the beast gasped as its tail was cut in two. The thing started writing in pain and it was able to buckle me off. Big mistake. I seized the chance and hopped onto the ground.
Eto medlennyj yad Eto svodit s uma A oni govoryat - vinovata sama A oni govoryat - vinovata sama
Ya soshla s uma, ya soshla s uma Mne nuzha ona, mne nuzha ona Ya soshla s uma, ya soshla s uma Mne nuzha ona, mne nuzha ona
Somehow, these words stuck a chord with my heart and I started to sing. As I sung, my whole body relaxed and the mere instincts and the katana's power took over. I ran to the beast and just wildly started slashing at its body. Howls and screams filled my ears but all I could hear was the song and my own voice.
YA SO-SHLA S U-MA MNE NU-ZHA 0-NAAAA
Bez tebya ya ne ya Bez tebya menya net A oni govoryat Govoryat et bred
Eta solnechnye yad Zolotye luchi A oni govoryat Nado srochno lechit
Ya khotela zabyt do upora I vniz Ya schtala stolby I Rusteryannykh ptits Bez tebya menya net, otpyasti otpyasti Do ugla po stene mama-papa prosti...
Ya soshla s uma, ya soshla s uma Mne nuzha ona, mne nuzha ona Ya soshla s uma, ya soshla s uma Mne nuzha ona, mne nuzha ona
Raz, dva posle pyati Mama papa prosti Ya so-shla s u-ma Raz, dva posle pyati Mama papa prosti Ya so-shla s u-ma
In a last effort, I reached back, and bellowed out the words, and threw the katana straight at what I assumed to be location of the beast's heart. Sure enough the katana went right through body and out the other end and at its tip, stood a gross looking organ-like thing which I assumed to be the heart. I ran across and flipped over the tail fo the dying beast and plucked the sword away from the heart and prepared for my final attack.
Ya soshla s uma, ya soshla s uma Mne nuzha ona, mne nuzha ona Ya soshla s uma, ya soshla s uma Mne nuzha ona, mne nuzha ona
Ya soshla s uma, ya soshla s uma Ya soshla s uma, ya soshla s uma... (copyrighted to T.A.T.U.)
I leaned into the blow and struck with my legs first and stabbed its head with my blade, followed by pushing the blade in with both of my hands. Then, before I could fall back to the ground, I performed a trick that I never even knew existed. Whatever it was though, sent the blade right through into the body which immediately killed the already dying beast. I stood there bloodied and exhausted, gasping for breaths as I saw Charlene, the whole university, and the boy come running to me. I started to collapse when the boy caught me in his arms. At that precise moment, Charlene chose to shout "SAPPHIROT!"
The boy looked back down at me and whispered, "I'm sorry I cannot stay. I don't know who you are, but your eyes plague me wherever I go. I intend to figure out why. This is goodbye for now."
