Dreams and Guidance :152:

‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵

Walking along the riverside, you hummed a familiar tune. It had a repetitive rhythm, which matched the ripples of the water.

The sky above you sparkled in endless colors, meteorites zooming through the stardust.

It was rare of you to dream, but when you did it seemed to always be a nightmare or some PTSD crawling back to you.. this.. was nice.

Now that you could actually sleep, since you didn't have the visions while sleeping, and you had stopped drinking the Energitea.. it was nice to be normal for the time you could.

Looking back up at the sky, the shimmering trails of the shooting stars revealed the large moon. Reaching a hand up towards it, you pretended to grasp it in your palm, when something began to drip down your arm.

Pulling back, you stopped your tune, staring at your arm. Dark, crimson blood rolled down your skin. Your breath hitched.

The moon was red now. Looking back down, the river was gone, being replaced by a red void, blood soaking into the fabric at your ankles.

Ahead of you, a large object was rolling towards someone.

Chasing after them, you felt your chest tighten as you felt your conscious slipping from your own. It was as if you passed a barrier of some sort. This was someone else's dream now.

Continuing towards them, you made out the shape of their hair, the slight tinge of green to their outfit. Lloyd was having another nightmare.

You began panting as you ran, almost close enough to reach the-.. mask..? It was shaped like a-

But before you had time to figure it out, a bright flash blocked your view.

Then a figure appeared in front of him. Beatrix.

He stumbled back, falling back, into the blood.

You continued running towards him, attempting to wake him up like you always tried, but again, it felt as if you couldn't catch up. You were running, but not getting any closer.

Lloyd stared down at his blood covered hands as another flash happened.

A gong rang.

Another flash.

Zane was surrounded.

Another flash.

Sora was crushed.

A flash.

A source dragon symbol.

A gong.

A dragon.

Fire.

A flash.

You felt yourself getting yanked, bright light surrounding you. The wind was knocked out of you as you were slammed into the wall.

Holding your head, you opened your eyes wide, looking for the attacker. Only to find.. Lloyd.

He sat across from you, a hand covering his mouth. "Fuck.." he whispered, not entirely awake. Tears began rolling down his cheeks, he quietly sniffled.

Then his eyes met yours. They widened, and he immediately hurried towards you. "Y/n?! What- I didn't-" he panicked, "you.. I didn't mean to-" he held his hands out unsure of what to do. "I- I swea-"

Pulling him down, you held him tight. He buried his head into the crook of your neck, trembling as he attempted to apologize, but you just continued to shush him, rocking back and forth gently.
