((This dream is filtered to Heat's two enemies and all of his closest comrades. This includes Bat and Minatsuki, all the members of the Embryon plus Roland and Sera, and Kamina if Laena so chooses. Sorry, guys, but I'm not interested in a widespread panic about this at the moment, and I'm sure you'll all be caught unawares. This is just to wrap up our plot at last. :-)
WARNING: This dream contains blood, violence and some devouring.))
Agni smells her.
It is the stench of a liar, of cold sweat upon a brow through the acrid smoke. She is afraid, the demon senses with delicious anticipation. Afraid and hateful. There’s a roar of flames and husky bestial breathing, but it all fades away and hones in on the sound of a single thumping heartbeat, louder and louder while the red form prowled through rows of burning foliage.
The greenhouse is ablaze. All his doing.
(She will DIE for what she's done! I'll devour every damn scrap!)
The scene swings about sharply and shifts to focus on a girl standing amongst the flickering flames. Her eyes are in shadow, but through the smoky din her mouth is spread in a wide, unhinged grin. Agni’s eyeless gaze snaps soundlessly at her, his claws curling in the high of the hunt.
The heartbeat quickens.
Claw clashes with whiplike hair, smoke obscures the scene. The image jostles violently, it can’t seem to focus on anything but blurred shapes, one red, one pink.
The heartbeat pounds, loud as a drum, thrumming a piercing, pounding, painful crescendo-
And suddenly, it ceases. The image stills.
...... Thump.
One weak beat. The blurred figures slowly sharpen into focus.
Thump…
... ... tHu… Mp…
Blood splattering from a torn throat. The demon’s fist is embedded deep in her chest, his fist wrapped around her tender black heart, his jaws sinking deep into her throat. Her brown eyes are wide, her mouth in the shape of a pained ‘O.’
The beast twists, the final beat cut short with a thick splat.
Agni’s triumphant roar drowns in the burning flames around him.
[Heat awakens with a familiar jolt, trembling, his arm throbbing with a painful, insistent burn. Immediately, his left arm claps to his aching stomach, the nausea slamming him upside the head and nearly throwing him off the side of the cot.
So hungry. Eat them all. Devour. EAT.
EAT
HER

This is a feeling Heat has only experienced once before, and that was when Varin Omega struck him with his Hunger ability. His mind can't process anything but his ravenous appetite, after being unable to consume any supplement or food for the past week.
What's most frightening in the video before he thrashes and sends it careening against the wall was that right arm.
Heat's atma is blazing black once more. Black, then red.]
