Embers of Eternity (Book 8 of the Keyblade Legends Rainimator Fanfic Series)

Chapter 134: Dreams And Realities

Tsuki's POV

I feel like I'm neck-deep in muck.

Everything around me is dark. My body's cold, it's lifeless. I didn't have the strength to do anything. Even if I did, I wouldn't want to try. I don't want to sleep, and I don't want to be awake either. I'd rather just stop... being. I want to think this is all a dream, so I can just blink and magically wake up at home. All the stupid, idiotic mistakes I've been flogging myself over like a drama queen feel like they're gonna drown me. They may as well drown me, honestly; not like I have much else to do here. The only other activity I have is lashing out like a toddler, and the only company I have is the voices that whispering Eldritch... Eldritch...

Then all of a sudden the world shifted, and I saw animals and random buildings.

What?

That's weird, how the hell did-

"TSUKI!" Someone yelled.

I looked up, my good eye focusing on the brunette in the distance.

"Crystal?" I whispered in disbelief. She actually came!

Crystal rushed towards me, "I'm so relieved to see," she told me, happily.

"So am I," I replied, smiling. "I've... been lonely here."

Really lonely.

Crystal looked down awkwardly, "Sorry I would of been here sooner but, Charlie wanted to make sure the dream stone would work first," she half mumbled.

"I understand," I said, with a nod. "And honestly... I'm glad it does."

Crystal looked back up at me, "so am I" she answered, as she smiled again, "I was hoping to speak to you again at some point,"

"Oh right!" I said. awkwardly. "Welcome to the Dream World. It's... uh very unpredictable."

Behind me, a car went flying... which wasn't too unusual now.

Crystal's eyes stared at the probably noticeable chaos that was going around, "Yeah...I had noticed that," she answered.

"So..." I said slowly. "How have you been with your boyfriend? Razer sent me a letter a long time ago complaining about him."

Truth be told, I didn't want to explain to Crystal what had happened.

"Oh... good, we both happy, he even helped me mail a letter, but I can see why Razer would complain, he can be a bit... Well full of himself, a lot of the time," she answered.

I couldn't help but laughed a little. "You must really love him if you're able to tolerate that," I said.

"Yeah...he does get on my nerves sometimes, but I don't think he releases he doing it," Crystal replied staring absent mindedly for a moment.

"Are you alright?" I asked, causing Crystal to snap out of her trance.

"Oh..I'm fine, yeah fine... Definitely," she answered quickly, but I could tell that she was lying.

I stared at Crystal for a good minute. "You're lying," I finally said.

"Me? Lying? Never...okay maybe a little bit," Crystal looked down, as if she was ashamed.

"If you don't want to," I said. "You don't have to tell me anything. This is an open space, you're allowed to say anything."

Crystal sighed, "no, I should talk about it, The sanctuary was attacked by the undead, being led by Herobrine, my version of Herobrine, when we got there he had nearly killed Lyria, I...I unleashed everything I had on him, apparently Atomizing him, but...but I... I've felt off since then," Crystal explained to me.
