'ethereal'...'ethereal'.... 'ethereal!'she heard her name in a chant like manner the voice rising with each word 'ethereal!' and yet she could not stay focused as the warmth around her body engulfed her senses "Ethereal"
Clear as day her eyes shot open at the tone fear immediately visible in her glossy eyes as they looked at the person before her. Ethereal looked around to see she was in the same black void she had appeared in the first time to relieve her memories, the thought ofgoing through it again made her stomach turn as a phantom stench of their flash entered her sense, bringing a disturbed and unpleased look at her face. She watched as the woman before her took a step forward her, her smooth raven hair flowing gently, ethereal took a step back.
"Do not, come near me" ethereal ordered her voice was calm yet held a ting of hostility. The woman ethereal recognized listened and stood in place.
She was done,she was tired of being taunted by her face each night, she face she Sought comfort to and loved dearly. In her stirred a hurricane of emotions anger, sadness,hurt worst of all she felt vulnerable. All those years her mother told her she was strong and fearless hit her with full force as she looked at her with raging eyes her body shaking as she glared.

"H-how dare you!?" She asked her voice coming out in a chocked manner caused by the burn in her throat and yet the woman looked confused and sympathetic, that irritated her "how dare you!-" she huffed, her voice raising and still she did not notice, she inhaled a sharp breath "-INVADE MY MIND AND TAUNT ME WHY!?, I, I DID NOT Mean it" her voice was muffled by her cries as the woman watched "and yet you say I killed them, and yet you say I caused it-i did not But I'M SORRY!" she said holding her head with both of her arms "you did " a raspy voice answered that caused the black haired woman to stare in shock at the gruesome site of a man limping towards them. His entire right side was burned and scarred with dark purple skin, his eye socket empty and hit lips gone as only his left walked properly "please go away,please go away ,please go away, please.." ethereal chanted over and over burying her head on her knees and wrapping her hands around around her as she heard more and more voices "go away.." she pleased trying to block out the words they spoke.
She looked in horror the ground became goo and lashed it self onto her leg , "no please, please-ARG!" she begged the raven head Infront of her but felt the the goo heat and burn her flash " dieing by your own power, PATHETIC! The voices spoke over and over again, the dreadful scent of her charged skin brought a nother choked sob as she finally let go, tired, allowing the goo to engulfed her join us,join us,join us, the voices passed her ears going unacknowledged by ethereal as she accept her fate but still the voices grew louder.
Warmth. In that moment she felt warm, yet it was a single hand on her head, she didn't dare to look up on who's hand had touched her "am-am so sorry" the woman spoke sadly as a few tears fell on ethereal's body.
She looked up and saw the peoples body turn to dust and fade away peacefully, the black goo that as on her chest slowly faded away ,the woman sat Infront of her sniffling as she did to and connected her hands together, the black and eyes cold void faded as a spark above her ignited and a blue veil surrounded them, as the image came together a grassy field lushes and green with a few vibrant flowers not a single tree in site but a refreshing breeze left the land mesmerizing.
She new this place, she remembered it well. It was a long way from the original palace were her and her mother would go for pick nicks and watch the annual fire fest together. at night nearly a million fire flies would go as far as to the stratosphere to her young and naive eyes.
Her swollen eyes glistened at memory as she looked at the woman before her.
Her face was it's normal colour her black hair and eyes looking nearly 10 years younger, she almost believed it was her " I do not know what to do to make you trust me, but it really is me, please let me explain" the woman urged and ethereal quirked her brow "explain? You have nothing that will peek my interest" ethereal spoke harshly "please.." the woman begged silence, was her reply.
"There is not much time, and I'm sorry for letting this happen, really i am. I shall make sure you never see those creatures aga-" "they are not creatures, mother" even if the paranoid half of her brain screamed no,the other half reminded her that her mother,former queen of Cikena had the reality art "They were one of the people that died along with you. Please tell me why? What was wrong that you depended on kazashi to help you,the very person you said was an enemy?"
Cikena and Takill were two opposites kingdoms along with their arts, cikena held warm colours of creation while cikena provided harsh blazes of destruction only kazashi water art changed their ideals of the kingdom.
"The time art from the TCC was passed down onto me by my mother and then in the forest fire I passed it onto you, ethereal it gives you visions and instructions on what will and must happen the way you see them, change one thing, change everything." The black head spoke softly as ethereal was taken aback by this, "I-i didn't think it would cause you nightmares. Am sor-" the woman, ethereal's mother stopped as she felt the hesitant but firm hug from the silver head Infront of her.
The realization of everything that happened in the kingdom made enough sense for her to know that this was her mother though she couldn't comprehend it fully she was greatful she had a chance to see her.
Even if it were the last time.
" There will be more pain but you need to be strong, you were destined to be great ethereal" she was right she was strong in the flames the least she could do was face this headon.Her mother pulled her closer as a small row of tears fell " am so proud of you" she said weakly, the scent of an ocean engulfing ethereal as she relaxed in her warm hold 'thank you even if it is for the last time'.
This time she wasn't sinking but instead floated in an endless ocean her mind blank of any emotions, empty, not even peaceful as the depth of the situation depend. Though her mother supported her, would she ever see her again? her aunt?, her father? ,brother?, call her selfish but why must it be her?,the 10gen will be a light in the coming darkness. Hana's words made her heart sink. she is dangerous,she has killed, that is always at the back of her mind dream or not reminding her of what she wishes to forget.
and she is the 10gen.
