Devil's High of The Gifted

"What Was That Power?.." Episode 3

The day after the matches. Nazo would be sleeping and he would have terrible nightmare's. It was of that fateful day. Him being talked down by Aoi, Then it would cut to him sitting in a wooden chair and staring down at the water. Then the chair would vanish. Him falling into the water. He would float down deeper into the water. His mind being clear, His body having a mixed feel between coldness and heat. He would begin to get flashes of realities he had not seen before. Aoi, Laying there. Heavily mutilated. Along with Hannah and the whole class it would seem. He screams, but the water would mute that scream. He tries swimming up but fail as darkness would raise up and drag him down. He screams and try to reach up for the water. That's when he wakes up by shooting up like a canon. He woke up in cold sweats and he was somewhat crying. His mother would be beside him from trying to wake him. She had a worried look on her face. She would then ask: "Honey, Are you alright? You seemed to have a nightmare. Is everything alright? y'know. Up there??" She would tap Nazo's Head with an even more worried look. Nazo would sigh before he looks at her with a smile: "Don't worry ma. Just a normal nightmare. It just got to me Is all." He would chuckle before he wipes away the tears and sweat before he looks at the time. 4 AM. His school doesn't start until 7 AM and end at 4 PM. And due to his class being magic training. He does not get off until 7 PM. He looks at his mother and keep his smile. He then ask: "Can I stay home today. I wanna just spend time at home since yesterday happen." His mother would look at him with a worried look, Because. He usually loves going to school. She Thinks: "I hope he is okay.." She then smiles and kiss his forehead. And then reply: "of course. You can take the day off. But use it well mister!" She jokingly punches his shoulder before she smiles. Nazo would nod and chuckle: "of course!" He then lays back down and wrap up. Later that morning. He would wake up and stretch. It was now day light outside. He gets up and does his usual routine before he then would take his day lazily. By watching anime on Television. He felt less productive today. and he felt as if he could barely feel everything working inside of him. He felt no heart beat or consciousness. of course he was conscious. but he felt like he was in a dream. He could barely move or even blink. He then just stares off into space. his usually bright eyes were dull from the lack of physical movement, or even thought. He feels as if, He was barely who he was. he felt himself falling into a pit of nothingness and slowly losing himself. He then heard a voice echo in that void. It was raspy, masculine, doubled, and very demonic. It said to him: "you seek what you can not understand... For there is more then the madness you have seen..." Suddenly, in that void. Red chaotic feeling energy would form a arm and hand and reach down towards the sinking Nazo. He would foolishly reach up and grab it. suddenly. the red chaotic fluid would start to merge and cover his hand, then his arm, then even his chest. It kept consuming him until he began to freak out and scream. He pleas for help. but it just echo's into the void. That's when the chaotic fluid would begin to cover his whole body and form a very demonic being behind him. That being would slowly insert his hands into the chaotic fluid that was on Nazo's body and slowly pierce through his chest. Which was easy. It was almost like, Nazo was just liquid and not human at all. He felt the pain, but not a single cracking or piercing sound can be heard. its all just liquid like sounds. That being would whisper into his ear: "Wake...Up.." He suddenly back in the real world and what had previously occurred was gone. even the being from before. he was being violently shook by his mother as she cried out with tears, she kept shouting: "Wake Up! Nazo, Please Wake Up!!" Nazo would still have his dull eyes before he looks at his mother and give off a faint smile and grabbing her left hand with his right and weakly said: "Don't worry ma... I'm, alright..." His mother would hold him close with a mother like embrace. she was heavily worried. She said: "you stopped breathing and moving, you had no heart beat and I got worried!" Nazo would just pause for a minute before he reaches around his mother and held her close like a puppy to its mother. He would think to himself: "I will not let fate or whatever is happening to me stop me now! I got a mother to protect." He then took a vow. That, No matter what. He was going to stay bright headed and keep anything negative out of his head. The color in his eyes would come back as he held his mother. he would do anything to protect her. He would smile and hold her tight: "Wipe those tears away ma. It doesn't fit a strong woman like you! hehe." He meant that, due to his sudden realization. that, He is not alone in whatever he does. he has his mother to guide him. which woke him up that, Reality can be molded to the eye of the beholder. That's why he vowed to never be down again. This might be harder then most other 'Impossible' task. But he has a new unwavering determination. and that, his power has more then just a super powered strength. He has yet to confront this demon.
