[ Dream / Video ]

Warnings: Violence, blood, death, angst

[Everything is black. The air is cold and the only sound is a voice, softly scolding..]

Twins of misfortune..atone for your sins.

[Slowly the scene is revealed. Bodies are everywhere. Snow is falling softly from the sky. A lone child in rags stands before a tall tower. His long blond hair reaches the ground, his frame frail and nothing but skin and bones.]

Fai..I'll find a way to get us out..

[blue eyes widen as more bodies are added. A wall surrounds the bodies and the tower. The boy tries to stack the bodies in order to climb to the top of the tower but its never enough.]

Twins of misfortune..

[Suddenly another body is seen falling. It looks just like the boy in the pit. Falling from the top of the tower. Everything goes black.]

FAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIII! [A piercing scream and then nothingness.]

[And then a new voice fills the air]

You use magic. That eye is the source of you power, isn't it? To get back the feathers I need this as well.

[A boy with brown hair, his expression cold. A blond man on his knees before him. Short hair, blue eyes..unmistakeable as the boy from before even despite the older age. Water swirls around them and when it disappears, blood pours down the blond's face from an eye socket with no eye.]

I will take the other as well.

[Then nothingness once again..until there is pain. Screams fill the air, the sound of a heartbeat, yelling that is indistinguishable as he gets masked by a voice fill with agony.]

Twin of misfortune..you will bring harm to others

[That voice, always there..always haunting. The next images only come as flashes..

A team of four in all black. A blond with an eyepatch, a tall man with dark hair, the brown haired boy, a princess.

Images of death. Betrayal. Destruction. Each one seeming to be cause by the blond. Each memory bursting forth with brutal clarity. This time the voice bursts through much louder, much clearer.]

Twin of misfortune..remember your sins!

[With a scream Fai bolts awake, sitting upright in bed. He pants for air, his face contorted in terror. He has no idea the world has just seen his past by the dreamberry laying on the table next to him. His hands clutch at the sheets in his lap.]

[ That dream...

He had noticed recently the large amount of these appearing on the feed. Suzaku tried to bypass most of them, but this one in particular had caught his attention. And so the boy watched, expression grim.

Was this a vision of the past?

To be considerate of the bad dream, the brunette will keep formalities at bay by switching the device to voice instead of video. ]

Excuse me, are you alright? [ A beat- ] This was only a dream.

[Fai's shoulder jerk in surprise as a voice reaches him. He looks over at the device on the table. Did everyone just see it..? He feels a tightness in his chest and his voice is shaky when he speaks.]

..I..I'm fine. A dream..[More like a nightmare. He had hoped he was done with those.]

Did you see it?

[ It wasn't difficult to imagine the facial expression with how shaky the other voice was. His keeps his own voice low, sadness dripping in his tone. ]

Yes, just a dream. [ As reassuring as he was trying to be, it might not be that helpful. ]

... I did. I'm sorry, but I might not be the only one who did. It seems your dream has been broadcasted through this device, as many others have experienced recently.

Why would this place do such a thing? [To think everyone might have seen..its something he hid from his companions for so long, just to have it seen by strangers in this place.]

From what I have been told, this is not the first unusual thing this world has committed. I am sorry that you fell victim to it, though.

[ And really, he is. ]

Forgive me if this may be prying too much, but was that a part of your past?

[Fai reached up and put his face in his hands, thankful the video was off.]

Yes..it was all memories.

[His heart clenches while he's watching the images and he wishes he could make them stop because he gets the feeling these are memories.]

Is that...how you lost your eye?

[His body jerks in surprise at the sound of a voice near him and he looks over towards the dreamberry. It seems just as he saw others dreams, his was seen as well.]

Yes..it was taken. [He reaches up and touches the eyepatch lightly] I'm sorry you had to watch that...

....I'm sorry you went through that.

All of that.

[Small and rather bitter smile comes to his lips.] A lot of it was my fault..I could have done things differently. But there is nothing I can do to change that now.

That doesn't mean you deserved it. At least you've got that second part down, though~

[He's a hypocrite and he knows it...but he just wanted Fai to feel a little better.]

[There is a small smile as he looks over at the device.] Thank you Johnny-san. I made a promise that I would view the world a bit differently then I had been, and I intend to keep it.

_{[Morte doesn't care... no, she wants to pretend she doesn't care. Because it's better like that. Because every world is filled with misfortune and the only way to escape from that would be destruction.

That is what Morte believes in.

She doesn't say anything for a long while. No, she is not a kind person and she will never be. She is the Scarlet Plague, the Lady Death, the one who will destroy the world.]}

...It was only a dream, you know?

[Body jerks in surprise and looks over at the dreamberry..did people just see it? Fear crosses his face at the thought and is glad you can't see it. That is a familiar voice though..He reaches up and touches the missing eye.]

No..it was memories..but why? Why now? And how were you able to see them?

Memories...?

_{[so that's how he lost his eye...]}

I think everyone could see it. Guess this is one of the functions of those new communicators... or maybe it's just one of those curses I've heard about.

Curse...[Fai shudders and wraps his arms around himself. All his life he has been cursed. It was those curses that brought upon so much misfortune.]

I think a person's dreams and memories should be private unless someone wants them to be shared..It isn't right that this device has that kind of power.

There's nothing we can do about that, though.

_{[This place... Morte hated it even more and more.]}

That seems to be true..Was it able to do things like this when it looked different? Mine recently changed shape.

I don't think so. Or at least nobody told me it could do something this.

I see..I'm a little worried about what more changes might mean..maybe something is coming.

Who knows. Guess we can expect everything in this place.

I'm beginning to find that out. [He smiles a little, hoping it reaches his voice.]

Hopefully things will get better instead of worse. Let's stay positive.

Not like we have any other choice.

_{[worrying definitely won't help.]}

[He looks over to the device]

I hope you've been spared any bad dreams while this is going on.

I never had any really bad dreams.
