Tales of a Dreamer: The Beads of Light

Flora moves to J1.

With no energy left, Flora did the only thing she could: retreat. Her vision was still blurry from earlier, and if she put herself at risk again, she knew she wouldn't make it. "I've outlived my usefulness," she muttered miserably before scuttling off out of harm's way.

Flora waits.

--

Autumn moves to E1.

Autumn smirked slightly as she noticed that the beast was reaching its breaking point. "All right, Zyu! One more time! Let's finish this!!" she exclaimed and leapt forward to lash out at the creature twice before backing up again. Then, Zyu took it from there and thrust its claw into the other shadow creature before ripping it out. There was no chance of survival.

Autumn attacks Yellow! 2 hits! 11 Dmg per hit! (ATK)

Autumn moves to G1.

Zyu uses Bloody Claw on Yellow! 20 Dmg with a chance of Blood Loss! (ATK)

Sayu turned around to face the creature that had just woken up, and was setting it's eyes on the already-weakened and sleeping form of Hikari. Sayu intended to mess with it before it had a chance to even blink. With a swing of her sword, she tore the beast in two.

Sayu uses her Final Judgement: Zanmato on Vera!

Vera INSTANT KILL!

Luna takes 2 DMG!

Luna's R-Ability: Crescent Path activates! Xeye and Retic take 14 Piercing DMG!

"Alright!" Luna whooped as she saw one of the beasts fall. "So I guess it's about time we finished this, huh?" she asked, a grin playing across her face. She raised her staff into the air and pointed it at one of the beasts with the most amount of health left, Kiye. Suddenly, a spear of ice shot out from under the ground and pierced the creature. The ice disappeared as quickly as it had come, leaving the beast extremely confused and wounded.

Luna uses her Final Judgement: Disappearance on Kiye! 36 Piercing DMG!



Shane paused for a moment before holding out a palm towards one of the beasts, a white orb forming in front of it. A long pause ensued before Shane shot the sphere at one of the beasts, killing it instantly.

Shane uses his Final Judgement: Soul Reap on Kiye!

Kiye INSTANT KILL!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Update your profiles, we continue tomorrow.

The ordeal was finally over. Hikari could finally relax without worry of being mauled by a group of shadow creatures. Now that their enemies are dead, they could continue on in search of Sekai. Luna, Sayu, and Shane, the party's new friends, seemed to be discussing something between each other. Hikari began to wonder what they could be planning. Maybe they were thinking up a way to get out of here without encountering another group of shadows. Hikari's question will be answered soon, as the trio parted from each other and faced her and Autumn.

"We've decided!" Luna said, a smile on her face. She refused to say anything else and just stood there, smiling.

"Um...decided what?" Hikari asked, slightly confused.

"We know a safe place in this realm where you can rest." Sayu explained, probably the longest sentence she ever said in her life. "It's where the three of us stay, along with two other friends and our leader. We are a rebel gang in this realm, because we disapprove of the actions our previous leader, Ian, is taking. We are going to take you to our base, where you will probably meet your friends, if Ikari has found them in time."

"Really?" Hikari's ears perked up, she was excited. She could see Sekai again! "How far is it?"

"Not too far. However, there is a maze we have to cross to get to it." Sayu answered.

"We've been through the maze a lot, so just follow our lead, okay?" Luna spoke up again, the smile on her face only growing. "Oh, but there is sometimes a beast that lurks in the walls, so we need to be careful that it doesn't kill us or anything."

----

"That, was unpleasant." Ikari growled, wiping off the excess blood from her clothing. She turned around to face the group and sighed. "Unfortunately, that isn't the last we'll see of those shadow beasts. We still have a ways to go, so let's get moving."

Sekai growled threateningly, looking up at the woman who has spoken. "I suggest you let us rest for a little while more, unless you're trying to kill us."

"More like trying to save your lives. If we rest any more, we'll just be confronted with another group of shadows, and not make any progress at all while we still have the chance." Ikari replied darkly.

"Oh come on, Ikari!" Matti said from behind the girl. "They look like they need some more training anyway if they wanna kill Ian."

"This isn't the time, nor is it the place." Ikari replied, exasperated. "We need to get them back to base where Sayu and her group is taking Hikari and the other woman. Our main objective is to get these six people back into their group, so they can fend for themselves without our help in this realm. We are to assist them in any way possible. Those were our orders, directly from Jakki's mouth."

"Who the hell is Jakki?" Sekai spat, only catching a few words from Ikari's explanation of their job to Matti, due to her being so tired.

"The name of our leader." Ikari said shortly, "You'll meet eventually."

"Alright then, let's get moving people!" Matti exclaimed, pumping a fist in the air. Ikari glared at the overly excited woman.

"Weren't you just...never mind." Ikari sighed and motioned for the others to follow her.

Flora was glad to hear the word "rest" mentioned because she was in dire need of it, not to mention that she wanted to see Autumn again. In a strange place like this, there's no telling what may have happened to her. However, Flora's thoughts of how strong Autumn was kept her hopes alive. "I think it's safe to say we'll follow you wherever you go," she spoke up suddenly. "Even if you lead us to the edge of oblivion, it would be a far better place than here."

--

Autumn listened intently to the conversation, but her excitement wasn't aroused until she heard of a monster that lurks in the walls of a labyrinth. "Are you serious?! Aaaaahhhh! I must have it!" she exclaimed with fierce determination and power. "I'm tired of these shadow lurkers. Of course, no offense to Krat and Zyu because they have served me well, but I need something new!" She thought about what kind of beast it would be, how she would go about taming it, and other things of the sort.

"We shouldn't linger..."

Dawn, although having done nothing in the previous fight, looked almost dead. Her brow was dripping sweat, and she looked like she had been run ragged. It was almost like shadows had attacked her on a different plain. But she spoke nothing of it, and wished to continue onwards.

"Anything to take us away from here..."

Twilight hadn't taken much punishment during that last battle, but was still sore. He looked around wondering if he should paint such a place. Maybe not for the scene, but rather for the people. Maybe when they met back up with the group he could get a portrait in...

The two separate groups continued on through the halls of the odd realm. Not a word was spoken, for fear that another group of enemies may come out of the darkness if they heard them. The silent walls held no response to their presence, and only served to increase the group's anxiety.

Eventually, the group cam across an odd wall, which was a different color than the ones surrounding it. With a simple push, they parted and revealed a cavern on the inside of the wall. It was a maze. They were almost there.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maze Battle:

These battles are slightly different from the ones you guys are used to. Although there have been two instances where a maze-style board has been set up, one of them, in Corruption, was hardly a maze such as this and in Obscure Pandemonium.

The objective is for every character to get to the center of the maze without being KO'ed. A character being KO'ed and not revived will result in a Mission Failure, and you'll have to start all over again. For this purpose, the Neutral party has rewarded the group with 6 phoenix downs, one for each Player character. I will keep count of this number. The Neutral party will not be reviving a player character if you fall, they don't have time for it. However, unlike the Player characters, the Neutral party does not need to get to the center. That is not their mission.

Dusk came forth once more as the Maze appeared before them. She didn't know much about these wall shadows, but she knew if she could make herself a shortcut, she could reach her destination. It would take a while, but it would be well worth it.

Twilight starts in G17!

Twilight looked at the maze questionably, unsure as to wether or not he should go ahead first. He looked at his allies and looked back at the maze. He wouldn't move first, but he would follow.

"Sekai...We're almost there." Hikari murmured to herself, and to her sister, wherever she was. She stood next to Autumn, a smile gracing her lips.

Sekai's eyes flashed, as if she had sensed something. Her head snapped up as she seemed to stare through the walls. Sekai planted her foot, and with all her might, opened her mouth and shouted. "HIKARI!"

Hikari starts in C-2

Sekai starts in H-18

"Let me through!" Sekai shouted, and pushed past Flora, unconcerned about her health at the moment. "Hikari! Where the hell are you?!" She looked around, trying to figure out a way through. Ikari poked her head in Sekai's direction, and pointed to where she was headed. Sekai planned to run as fast as she could. Sekai's eyes were ablaze with emotions, her desires dominating her mind.

Sekai moves to H-14

Hikari took a few steps forward into the maze, looking around a bit before frowning. Luna turned around and pointed to her immediate left, where Sayu and Shane had gone through. Hikari nodded, they were supposed to go over there. Hikari looked back at Autumn and smiled, "Forgive me Autumn, but what I desire is far more important than my own life. I'm afraid I won't be able to pay attention to you much this time around. You understand me, I hope."

Hikari moves to D-4

Dusk moves to H16!

Dusk ran forward, knowing her plan could easily fix their problem. She couldn't quite make out which way the labyrinth went. So she ended up slowing to a halt behind the others, looking at Twilight.

Twilight moves to G16!

Twilight got the message and moved forward, paintbrush in hand. He began to paint vigorously, what seemed to be a dual pair of swords. Then moving past the others. It then slashed at the wall quickly, trying to hurt it in some way.

Twilight attacks Wall (G13)!
(Damage: 100% Int/Effect: --/Element: --)

Twilight can't attack Wall (G-13) because Wall (G-15) is in the way! Wall (G-15) takes damage instead!

Wall (G-15) takes 1 DMG!

"You little idiot!" Ikari snapped at the foolish painter who had attacked the wall. "Did you really think you could get away with attacking the wall without attracting the attention of these Wall Shadows!? Insolent little bastard! I should kill you, but it seems you're trying to kill yourself! How could you be so careless!? Your job is to get to the center of the maze unharmed! Our job is to stall the Wall Shadows until you do! How are we supposed to do that when you do something so fucking stupid!?" Ikari let out a groan of rage and picked up her claws. Now she would have to deal with more trouble than she initially had to. "Putting them to sleep is impossible you fool, it's not like I can just make them both have a nice little rest while we lurk through their maze. Ugh, you idiot."

Ikari growled as she raised her claws and pointed them at the wall the shadows were possessing. "Over here, scatterbrain." With that said, she sent forth a burst of wind at the wall, causing one of the Wall Shadows to fly out of it.

Ikari uses Aeroga on Dwell! 27 Wind DMG! (INT)

Dwell is forced to G-18!

"Now, now Ikari, just because these people are acting like dumbasses doesn't mean you get to explode on them." Matti said, wagging a finger at her ally. "Although, there are a few things I would have liked to say, but you kinda stole it." She sighed and pointed a flamethrower at the wall. "Burn!" Matti grinned, spitting fire from her flamethrower.

Matti uses Neverending Flame on Wall! 36 Fire DMG! (ATK)

"Will you be silent, foolish woman!?" Sayu exploded, whirling around and stomping over to where Luna stood. "You have no rights, none whatsoever, do you hear me!?" She growled, her eyes ablaze with fury, "I would kill you where you stand for calling Hikari that, you shou-" Sayu stopped when a hand appeared in front of her, as if to hold her back. Luna was gazing into Sayu's eyes now, a deep frown had settled in.

"Sayu, you're not cute when you get angry." Luna stated, no hint of emotion in her voice. "And anger will get us nowhere. However," Luna turned her gaze over to Autumn, "I suggest that you do not be so rash, either of you. If I hear another insult come from your mouth, we will silence you. Permanently. I hope you understand that it is not you who has to live, but it is Hikari. Only she has the power to save your world, and if she dies or loses the will to fight, it's the end for us all. If Hikari is the opposite of Ikari, then I know her like the back of my hand. Do you truly wish to break this girl's spirit? Because if you keep up with the insults, it will happen." Luna closed her mouth and looked away from the girl, saying no more. Sayu paused before returning to her original position.

Sayu waits.

Luna waits.

Shane waits.

"Stupid is right." Sekai mumbled after Ikari's rant. "We need to do as they say, because Hikari's waiting for us, damnit!" Sekai then ran forward ahead of the group, her mind empty of everything but concern for Hikari's safety.

Sekai moves to E-15

Hikari blinked once when Autumn exploded on her. Her eyes widened as the girl continued on with her rant, and when she ended, Hikari was about ready to burst into tears. But when Sayu exploded on the girl, and Luna scolded Autumn, she relaxed slightly, although feelings of nervousness were welling up inside her. "Luna...thank you, but I think Autumn just wants to be with Flora like I do with Sekai. It's...okay." Hikari mumbled, her eyes downcast. She took a few steps forward and waited.

Hikari moves to D-6

"Idiot..."

"Well that's not very good... Dusk heal him and make sure he doesn't get himself killed again..."

"Ugh... fine..."

Dusk, having been right thier dug into her dress pocket and threw the tuft on the painter. Just before he got to his feet, she slapped him though, giving him the message that it was a stupid idea. Then moving into the maze she glared back at the entrance.

"That's it, feel fear like you've never feared before!" Ikari growled, and pointed her claws at the wall again.

Ikari uses Aeroga on Wall! 27 Wind DMG! (INT)

"Now how am I supposed to fight them?" Matti asked with a huff. She sighed and shrugged her shoulders, "Ikari switch places with me please."

Ikari moves to F-15

Matti moves to F-14

"If you do not help her in the Realm of Light, then how is she supposed to win?" Sayu asked, then looked at Luna, "Your reasoning is flawed, Luna." She looked back at Autumn and sighed, "You are important as long as you're there to protect Hikari. Even in the forests that you speak of, the darkness will still find you and rot your soul to the core. It's already beginning to happen here, as you are not from this realm." Sayu explained, "We're striving to get you out of this place, because you don't belong here. You're lucky you are close to the Beads of Light, for without them, you'd be dead right now. If you leave Hikari's side, we're not going to help you, and you'll just die a painful death, here in this realm." Sayu shut her mouth and waited.

"Sorry for interfering Sayu, but you were beginning to get a little heated." Luna said, then turned to Autumn. "Your friends are safe because they are near Ikari, who has the Beads of Darkness. With special magic, they're protected from the ravishes of this place completely, thanks to Ikari's power. The Beads of Light do not have the same abilities, however, and will only protect their bearer and the ones closest to her." Luna paused, looking oddly at Autumn's wrist. "Oh my...this is not good, not good I say, Hikari, you'd better put her to sleep right now." Luna became more and more frantic with each passing word. On Autumn's wrist emanated a dust that was colored black. It seems her threat of leaving was heard by more than one entity, and the darkness was getting to her, rotting her flesh to the very bone. "See?" Luna looked up at Autumn, "The Beads of Light heard what you said, and no longer offer their protection. The same thing would happen to us three if we were to go into the Realm of Light without the protection of...very specific and complicated magic. There are many more wards that protect your realm than ours. Putting you to sleep is the only way for the Beads of Light to offer their protection again."

Sayu waits.

Luna waits.

Shane waits.

~Player Phase II~

Sekai said nothing, only continued to run through the maze, careful not to touch the wall.

Sekai moves to B-14

Hikari acted right when Luna said to, and she waved her staff through the air and pointed it at Autumn, casting her magic. Within seconds, the both of them were asleep, and Autumn's wrist was healed.

Hikari uses Sweet Dreams on Autumn!

Dusk moves to E15!

Dusk moved forward and stopped behind Sekai once more. She didn't care if the painter was smart enough to follow or not. He was a deadweight anyway. If he died it would be all for the better. But deep down, she also knew that this was pointless. She lived in darkness, so what was the difference if she helped Hikari?

Twilight moves to H14!

Twilight scowled at everyone else, starting to question why he was even here. The group had caused him nothing but trouble since they met. Not to mention Sekai had made him drop all of his materials. Each was practically irreplaceable. With a sigh he followed, wanting to leave once they returned to the realm of light.

Autumn falls asleep!

Hikari falls asleep!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Deep down, somewhere in the darkness of the minds of the group, a voice sighed before saying, "You just don't understand." With that one sentence, a huge bust of power rose up from underneath the group of six, Hikari, Sekai, Autumn, Flora, Dusk/Dawn, and Twilight. Then, they all sank down into the depths of the darkness. The neutral party watched as this happened, and they seemed to relax.

Mission....Failure...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Down in the darkness, Hikari awoke suddenly from her slumber and immediately attempted to stand up, only that she wasn't lying down, or sitting, or in any sort of position. In fact, she felt as if she were floating. Hikari blinked once and looked around. The only thing she could see was pitch-black darkness. Hikari immediately frowned, beginning to wonder where she was.

Then, footsteps entered her ears and she squirmed around to find the source, only to be flipped over and come face-to-face with a man. The man had a gentle look in his azure eyes, and his olive hair was especially unique. He bore a smile on his face and his hands were in his pockets. He opened his mouth and spoke with a gentle tone, "Hikari."

Hikari blinked once at the sound of her name. For some reason, it seemed foreign. "Y-yes?"

"You have done well, Hikari." The man said, stretching out a hand towards the girl, touching her face once. When Hikari didn't flinch, the man continued on and stroked her cheek. "You've done very well, but you must rest for now. I will take care of the rest from here." He said, and disappeared into the darkness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sekai struggled furiously to get a grip on something, for what seemed like hours she squirmed and punched the darkness, kicking furiously. She was getting more and more agitated, and her mouth was sealed shut in a thin white line.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed her thrashing arm and stopped it. Sekai froze in her place, staring at the arm in horror. "What the hell!?" She growled.

"Sekai! That is enough, all is well." A male's voice said to her with an air of authority. "Hikari is safe, you are safe, your allies are safe. You will be safe, just let me handle everything and it will be over soon enough."

"O-okay..." Sekai was rather stunned at this man's sudden speech. She hadn't even got a look from him, but all of a sudden, she was respecting him like no other.

The arm vanished from sight, leaving Sekai to blink at her arm in confusion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The same man appeared before Dusk and Dawn, their entities separated by the very same man's power, so that he could speak with them individually. He was smiling at them. "I am proud of you two, so very, very proud." He looked at Dawn, "Out of the kindness in your heart, you decided to help Hikari. I thank you so very much for that. With your help, your world can be saved. But all of you need to cooperate together." The man then looked at Dusk, "And do not think you will escape the ravages of the darkness, Dusk. For this danger that faces the Light also endangers our world, the Darkness."

"I am proud of you so far, do not fail me, I beg of you." With that, the man disappeared.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Twilight, dear noble Twilight, how your heart resonates with hatred." The man sighed. This time, he had decided not to appear, leaving Twilight confused as to where the source of the voice came from. "Don't you see that hatred is just a futile escape from the truth and from reality? Art is a form of love and kindness, with hatred, you will never be able to become what you want. Rid yourself of these thoughts of hate and disgust, for everything is beautiful. Philosophy and art are about beauty, master them, and you'll master yourself and the world." The voice stopped there, leaving Twilight to ponder this statement.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Flora, beautiful, fragrant woman. A soul as gentle as the fragile water-lily." Once again, the man failed to show himself, leaving Flora to listen to his voice. "I have come to thank you for everything that you have done. Your love of nature has allowed the forest in which you live to prosper and grow. Even the animals of that forest tend to it in your absence, so do not fret. You have left an impact on them, and they have become gentle souls. It's all thanks to you, sweet Flora."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally, the man appeared in front of Autumn. He did not smile, nor did he say anything. In fact, he simply looked at Autumn, a sad feeling emanating from his eyes. He stayed there, staring at Autumn. The man knew, there is more than one way to speak one's mind. He was going to peer into her soul, and look at her straight in the face until she got his message. That it was by the efforts of multiple people that the Sage of Light was able to win, not just one. Without his friends, the sage would have never been able to banish the darkness completely, and the entire world would have been swallowed up in darkness.

Finally, the man spoke, "I know this because I was a friend of the Sage of Light. Not a descendant of a friend, I knew the man personally. Yes, I am an immortal, in a manner of speaking. The ravages of time do not affect me, and it was with my help that he was able to win. I know this for a fact: Hikari needs you."

"Let yourself decide, forgive and forget for the well-being of this world, or hold fast to your hatred and doom it to oblivion. Do not rely on such an emotion as hatred ever again. Let it go, release those thoughts from your mind. Purge your soul of the darkness, and you will find bliss." The man paused for a second. "I will wait for your favourable reply, Autumn. Remember that I am the one who brought you here, and I can take you out any time I desire to do so. If you wish to leave, then so be it, but I promise that you will not like the results of it."

The man waited, just as he said he would, for just one word of reply. Yes, or no. Yes, that she will continue to follow Hikari and help save the world from oblivion. Or no, she would cast aside her calling and allow the world to fall, her along with it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Whatever you say..."

Dusk glared at Dawn, happy to be free of the girl. If she could kill her, she would be free permanently. She raised her claws towards Dawn who gasped slightly but then nodded.

"Just as Light must banish darkness, I must stop you..."

Before either made a move though, they were forced to freeze. It was almost like they were without control over their bodies...

Twilight said nothing but looked around, having a feeling the man was right. He sighed and his expression softened, nodding slightly. He took out his paintbrush once more and was ready to paint.

"Do not worry, Autumn, for that has already been taken care of." The man said, then put a hand to his chest, closed his eyes, and bowed towards her. "We will meet in person, very soon. Yes, how about I take you out of this place?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The group, all of them, then found themselves lying on the floor in a small room. Slowly they rose and looked around at each other. Their experience in the darkness still fresh in their minds. For a long while, all was silent. Then, familiar footsteps could be heard as a man approached them from another room, the very same man who had visited them before. He stopped and looked each one of them in the eye before saying to them,

"My name, is Jakki Vi Levyka. If any of you wish to ask me something, then do so now."

"You are in the basement level of Heirenn Kakku, the base which is shrouded by, and protected from, the darkness of the realm outside." Jakki said simply, "You are also in the flip-side of the Realm of Light, the Realm of Darkness. Does that answer your question?"

Jakki paused for a moment, then sighed. "I'll have to apologize in advance. I am the one who brought you here. It was my desire to speak with the six of you, and things just seemed to get out of hand when I did."
