Characters: demonicbookworm & reluctant10th
Where & When: the clinic, three days after the massacre
Rating & Why: ...There'll be trauma and a lot of crying here.
Summary: Three days after getting killed, Ruca finally wakes up...
He felt as if he was falling from one nightmare into another. Except, those weren’t just normal nightmares that would simply go away when he’ll wake up. Those were made up from everything he would love to forget about. Memories from his current and previous life. Seeing all of them again like this was too much for him. He wished for nothing else but to wake up already. Or for them to just leave him alone. But it seemed like this nightmare will never end.
Then he finally woke up.
After he opened his eyes, he winced slightly from pain. He got hurt somehow, but he couldn’t recall for now how. He was confused. What happened? Where is he? Remembering the answer, especially for the first question didn’t seem like a good idea to him, especially that the nightmares where still so fresh in his memory.
But then he remembered.
He remembered how he was killed. He was so helpless, couldn’t do a thing against the attacker. Even though he tried! He used his spells and the power of arch-demon Asura and yet he was so useless in that battle! He was too slow...
He sat up and looked at his hands.
"Why...?"
He was killed. He was killed, so why was he still alive? Is this also Splendor’s magic? Or maybe he wasn’t dead at all? Maybe all of this was just a part of nightmare?
...But none of this mattered much.
He could feel as tears roll down his cheeks.
Right now he could think only about the memories that still haunted him, even after he finally woke up. A memories from his current and past life... and a memory of being unable to do anything.
