[F6-PP] Ending the Nightmares (Calming the Soul)

[Eruda 0]

Setsuna gets grabbed from mid air and thrown to the ground. Eruda's eyes widen in terror, as Kasumi's pedals burst into nothing as she lays on the ground and pops herself. Tears fall down Eruda's face as Gaius had a spear plunged in his heart, Freya right next to him as a sword cuts clean through her neck. Eruda couldn't breath, grasping for air as a piece of her, lost. Eruda pulls her shield up as a hardy bulk of a weapon was holding resistance. Eyes lock on her father, surrounded, unable to fend them off. Eruda's chest felt heavy with emotion as she feels a blade carve up her spine, causing her to drop to her knees now. The sword she was keeping at bay smashed against the ground beside her. Shiina is grasping at air as Simmonè was no longer of the living. Flames all around them, burning whatever it could latch onto. An outcry from her father as a large blade plunges into his chest. "Rai, where's RAIDOU," Eruda manages to choke out before seeing him lay upon the ground mere feet from her. A hand reaches toward her, reaching back before she is kicked to the ground. Those finger tips touch, as his health depletes to nothing. Eruda gets kicked in the head, causing her to roll to her back. Looking up, tears soaked her hair as she stares up at a red haired woman with an orange icon hanging over her head. Eruda couldn't catch her breath, there was nothing left... A rapier pierces Eruda's chest, closing her eyes now...

Waking up in a panic, her bed was drenched with sweat as she slowly sits up holding her head...

A slow, deep breath, Eruda found that she was crying when a hand was pressed to her cheek and if came back wet. Shaking her head, breath was cracky. This dream felt so real this time. Everything that could have possibly gone wrong did. Time and time again since they got back from talking with Morrighan, when Raidou finally became real to her. Every day from then, Eruda has had little to no sleep. It had been weeks and regardless of whether or not Eruda thought that it couldn't happen, that it wouldn't happen that way, they all still just died. Every last one of them. 

"I can't do this anymore. I need sleep and I need to deal with this," Raserei just looks up with tired eyes and a squint. "Yeah, I know, I'm sorry." Slowly getting up from her bed, patting Raerei on the head. "Just go back to bed, I will be back in a while." Right then the wolf curls up into a ball and does just that. Eruda walks to the bathroom, softly shutting the door.

Placing both hands on the sink, staring into the mirror. Eruda has changed so much since she first came into this game, it was night and day different. Everything was so different and maybe she was getting worked up for absolutely nothing, but she still couldn't help but think about everything. How far she and Raidou had come, Freyd and Eruda had become actual friends. Eruda had friends... That was something that she had loathed for most of her life. Everything that has happened... Eruda smiles at her reflection. It was most likely nothing, for all she knew that dream that she had was something that Raidou was going through too. Eruda was happy to take it from Raidou so that he could relax and get some real sleep, but now Eruda couldn't, sleeping restlessly every night, it was exhausting. Eruda was not going to let the dreams go unchecked. Eruda wasn't going to let this thing interrupt her happiness that she had worked so hard to get.

Checking the clock on her HUD, it was 1:23 am. Clicking the bathroom door open, softly walking toward Raidou's door. Placing a hand on his door, ear against it. Listening carefully, those sheets of his rustle a bit. Eruda smiles, heading toward her room again, gathering her things, glancing at her wolf sleeping peacefully. Eruda only read one quests on that red table that would even remotely help her right now. It was something that had to be done on her own. Eruda had been thinking about it for a very long time, now was the perfect time...

Opening that door, softly closing it and locking it. Eruda would go to the guild hall and pick up a few things before heading to floor 6. Wandering through the town of floor 6, it was dark, early and silent. Not a peep within the area around her. Eruda was alone, taking a deep rough breath. It would be clear that Eruda was having a bit of trouble, but nothing that she couldn't handle. That dream was getting to her, not by complete intention though. It felt so real when it was happening, but Eruda knew better. Nothing like that would happen like it did. Firm Anima was smarter than that, Eruda has seen that proof to support that. The way that it happened though, the orange player's within that dream place. The female with the red hair... Who was she... Maybe some of that information that Eruda was told about Laughing Coffin was merging with that same symbolic image. Raidou and Freyd are in charge that guild, Freyd more, but they had in under control... right?

Taking the quest before walking into that deep dense forest. It was full of trees, you could barely see through the thick of it. Eruda would depend on her map and its icon to guide her way. Climbing over large branches, ducking under low hanged tree leaves. This looked very familiar from back in the day. Those days that she was scared of her own shadow. A light sprinkle of water upon her head, the ground was damp with each step. In the distance Eruda could see those large stones sticking out of the ground. The ones that marked Firm Anima and their success with the same trouble shadow figure that haunted most of them for a very long time. Passing those slabs with a glance to each. After a few more jaunts, running water could be heard. Most of Eruda's fears had already been dealt with, there was just one in particular that she was looking to conquer. One of all those recent dreams, Eruda knew that she could handle them, but she didn't want to have to. A shadowed figure with a creepy smile marks the entrance of a cave that could be seen underneath the falls. There was a door too, weird, but she understood why. It was the entrance to one's worst fears as others saw them. A private sanctuary that only they could fathom upon their own doing. Eruda was ready...

That shadowed figure gestures a hand toward the door, Eruda takes grip on the handle and walks in, the figure would follow her in with a smirking chuckle, to see what would come of Eruda's fears.
