Reincarnated From Vanity

Chapter 4 • Curse of the Seal | Reincarnated From Vanity

After what could had been my darkest hour yet, alas it ended in a long sought slumber.
And then again, I succumbed in darkness.
Departing from Kami-sama and now from reality, I was once again alone.
Left with only my own being, Such thing could I only cling to my own sanity.
Embracing myself within my subconscious.
Reaching out for at least the little comfort I could muster.
Ignorence is within the concept of dreams.
For in deep dreams lies endless possibilities, untied by laws of common.

Surely might I had a unjust beginning.
A chaotic gambit of life.
But I opted to obtain the brighter future, lest should I lose hope...

In most cases, dreams are held as a subconscious journey.
Mysterious phenomenons that awed mankind since the dawn of time.
A cocktail of one's past, emotions and lead by inner ego.
Dreams as such must been familiar to thee, right?

This however was not the case.
The first incident was not for I to be suspected.
Obviously the benefit of the doubt.
As if I treat every downfall alike a judge's trial.
Haa! ha! Good laugh! Pass me the cigar!

But one after another, the next coincidence follows.
Was this certainly the curse as mentioned?
The Morbid Seal of Grim; Imprisoning the Dragon of Grim?
This....
My right to be ignorant,
My freedom within the endless skies,
My Indulgence implaced into deepest seas,
Where as I placed my heart a set freely to roam.

That simple peaceful slumber I hold granted... Now was robbed from me.

Following an hour of struggle, what I thought, shalt I have enternal rest...
Assuming asylum in the drift of dreams,
Couldn't I be any more wrong.
Namely, surreally horrific
Caught was I in a sight of bloodcurdling spectature.

In a dream that felt not of a dream.
Met was I an omnious being.
The one before me, The Veil Dragon.
It and myself, traped in with it...

Enclosed by a dark and damp stone chamber as large as any warehouse would.
It's walls were also formed by stone bricks in an octagonal formation, lit by few hazy candles.
From that, could I tell if were there a few flooded spots, settling near walls as it originated there.

The distant yet blaring resonation of endless rain that rattles around.

There I stood, overwhelmingly fazed.
Should it had a body that towers tall trees,
wings that stretch out far and wide.
Veiled with scales as grim as the night sky.
In possession of most devious crimson eyes.

As which ensures instillment of fear to the hearts of many men, which great chest pains are involved.
It scorned at me in fury, in mischief and hatred.

Could was I only to stand there.
Even trembling before it was... unthinkable.
A state of shock, mentally deprived.
The emense pressure emitted from it was far from overwhelming.
Was it to be ever placed in words,
It was simply... unworldly.

As I stood there, I had a certain form.
I hadn't reconized myself such details till long after.
My representation in these nightmares took form of a little girl, draped in a white dress.
Might have this body established in my part?
Suppose only time could tell.

Awaiting for it's next move, as spread out it protruding wings, closing behind me.
The little I was encircled by it.
It drew its head closer till our eyes meet.
So close in fact till I can sniff it's thick, earthly scent.
The finer details of it's scales were layed bare for my eyes to see.
It too, took a closer look at me and sniff me throughly briefly, before it spoke.

"What is this, mere girl! In mein chambers?"

...
"I, do-n't know..."

Answer me truly, before I lose my patience before my hunger. State your reason as to why you're here.
