Blood Drops & Thorns

[ebony]

It had to be a dream. Sitting on the ledge that overlooked the third district Ebony sat there watching the empty district before her. It was odd normally there were a few people flittering about. Now there was nothing. A shove from behind, Ground coming closer, Surrounds dissolve, Darkness envelopes. Fighting it trying to escape the darkness that was like cobwebs and water choking and entangling. It soon began to disperse and She was falling again heading towards nothing. Landing standing on something. Ebony began to walk forward. Light appeared. Blinding as Rose petals fluttered away revealing a platform.

A golden stained glass with Black and Red Roses with thorn covered vines, Blood drops falling from the thorns that looked like hearts on it. Empty platform no one, no objects. Just empty with darkness surrounding it. Walking forward the platform shook beneath her feet. Stumbling Ebony looked around reaching for the knife she carried in her pocket. Nothing was there. Small square pedestals appeared. A sword, A staff, and A Shield.

Approaching them she inspected them closely. Reaching for the staff she held it before placing it back down it disappeared, She looked between the sword and the shield. walking towards the sword she picked it up. The platform shook again the pedestals faltered - The platform began shattering collapsing around her. Ebony began falling again. Glass falling with her surrounding her body. Head first she plummeted in slow motion into darkness. Another platform came into sight landing on it she looked around. It was dark blue and Purple mixed. Stars covering it. It reminded her of the sky of her home town.

Her hand felt heavy. The sword appeared in it. Little black creatures appeared on the platform before her but quickly disappeared. Hearing a noise behind her she spun around, sword in hand. A black creature tried to sneak attack her but quickly disappeared leaving a glob of darkness on the platform swirling black, blue and purple. Two, Three, Four the patches of darkness multiplied then began to grow. Swallowing her, Dragging her down into the black abyss. Gulping, Gasping, Struggling for air. Landing back first on something. Darkness left leaving light. Another platform.

Grey, Black, Blue, Green color stained glass. Raging seas a broken ship sinking. A spotlight on the opposite side of where she stood shining on a set of doors. Ebony stepped forward the door was locked and transparent. A chest appeared, and the door slowly too solid form and cracked open. A bright blinding light that left you seeing spots appeared - Walking into it watching her surroundings as she did Ebony took a deep breath.

The light faded and she was back home. Standing in the middle of first district. She walked around, Questions were asked, Questions were answered. Her home faded away. Another platform. A large heart surrounded by faces. People she knew. Ebony heard a noise - Looking around her she was becoming surrounded by black creatures. A fight broke out. Slashing at the little monsters killing them a light shown from above. Following it - it turned into stain glass stairs leading up to a platform ahead. Running up the stairs she came to stand on another platform. This one multiple colors looking like blossoms falling from trees in a spring breeze.

Her shadow matched her stance and it began growing. Popping from the ground Forming a large beast she couldn't describe or name. I was black and had golden eyes and was taller than any building she had seen with jagged bony wings. She backed up slowly and found herself on the edge of the platform. She had no where to go. The thing loomed over Ebony - The sword disappeared and any determination she had, disappeared with it. But it was replaced with what looked like a key.

It was a weapon to her going at the creature she began slashing at it with everything she had. Destroying any of the small creatures that came at her. She slashed at it and it would break and reform like something breaking the surface of water. More slashing, More counter attacks from it, It went on and on. She was getting weak now but she kept at it. Everything went in slow motion. One final slash at the creature and it began falling. Ebony backed away as it fell towards her. The keyblade disappeared and she fell off the platforms edge.
