{Week 2, Day 1} DREAM 3 // . N i g h t m a r e .
Brothers!
[Loz and Yazoo, they were-- finally, he'd found them. In the strange world of Kannagara, which was yet again gray, dark gray, contrasting off the backs of the two light gray figures in the distance. Kadaj was running towards them, but-- he felt his steps slowing, like he was running through water, and then through sludge. And Loz and Yazoo hadn't turned around.]
Loz! Yazoo! It's me--
[And suddenly, the two merged into one. Him, again. Sephiroth. Slowly, the man turned around and looked down at him. Down at Kadaj, because somehow, Kadaj had tripped and fallen and was looking up at Sephiroth, and those slitted pupils and mako irises that looked so much like his own-- why did they terrify him so? Maybe it was because He always wore a ridiculous, calm, spiteful smile. Because those eyes not showed only passion, but insanity. A small chuckle escaped him, and it turned into roaring, maniacal laughter, so much like that bloody clown's and the scientist that was as mad as his creation.
But, that wasn't all. The area behind Sephiroth erupted in flames, and Kadaj could hear his heart booming in his ears like the beaten drum, could barely hear anything over it and the roar of fire. And in the distance, beyond that fire, there was something so huge, blurred, but huge, and there were red eyes that pierced Kadaj's heart, and then there was an earth-shattering roar and Kadaj screamed--]
[Kadaj jerked into a sitting position. Ah, it was... just a dream. As usual. But what was the little red thing sitting next to him? Two feet tall at best, it was red, practically made of acne, and just... over all really disgusting looking. Kadaj regarded it cooly, putting a hand on his blade's hilt, and then tore it out and slashed at the little oni with frightful accuracy. However, the little annoyance jumped away and growled out something, a noise that Kadaj wasn't very familiar with, as it ran away. Kadaj smirked at the stupid thing as he got up, sheathing Souba and turning around. Another day of searching for Jenova and his brothers...
What was that sudden chill down his spine?
Frowning, Kadaj turned around and... widened his eyes. Three huge oni glowered down at him, rumbling their displeasure of his torment on the little one. Really, they were only ten feet tall-- nothing compared to Bahamut-- but that's not what gripped Kadaj with fear. Though he couldn't clearly see it in his dream, he was absolutely convinced; that was the very same monster in it. Creepy, considering he'd never seen the thing before this day.
He narrowed his eyes, then, and thrust forward a hand and--
...
Kadaj looked at his arm in confusion. Why wasn't his materia activating?
He was brought back into reality rather violently when one of the beasts roared, a brief look of alarm and fear crossing his face before he made a quick retreat. Why the hell were things just so... fucked up, lately?]
