I close my eyes, frowning.


    Ronin brings the both of


    us away from the mirror.


    He coos, "Open your eyes.


    It''s over now."


    I open my eyes and pout,


    this feeling of dread is


    intense and the smell


    of my body reeks.


    It smells of dead


    flesh.


    Ronin doesn''t smell


    that way though and


    crazy enough he Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.


    looks calm about


    everything.


    "Is this place really,


    Beladim?" I asks,


    slowly calming down.


    "It is. I made sure this


    dimension was able


    to form and stay in-


    tact permanently for


    all of us."


    "Who''s all of us?"


    "You sure do ask


    many questions yet


    I guess it''s only natural."


    I roll my eyes from


    Ronin''s rude word


    choice.


    I stare outside the


    window, removing


    the white sheer


    cloth.


    The sky reminds me


    of that day.


    I do recall luring Tsukino


    to a false death,


    while casting the slight


    illusion of the ground


    reflecting the sky.
