Dream of Fall ; Leviathan [English ver.]
You could feel the breeze weep softly the skin of your cheek that isn't protected by anything. Freezing. It was almost like the wind brought out all the cold air in the middle season of winter.
You can also feel a completely light and carefree body of yours. Like a bird's feathers swaying in the wind without any handle.
Strands of your hair waved against gravity. At the time, you find your surroundings are dark, but it also bright with sparkling stars.
Your eyes are still locked by those dazzling dust, half awake realizing that some of them--above your head--are moving. Fast. Like a shooting star ... or meteor? The stars keep moving toward you.
The closer it got, the light was getting dimmer. The star is no longer a star. You are sure. That thing was manifesting into something.
You are now fully awake, because of the loud voice carried by the wind that wasn't far from where you floated. The figure shrouded in darkness, continued to scream. Groaning. His voice cracked and hoarse. Sounds bitter and tight.
The words "No" attack your ears, desperately. While your eyes are now wide open, you realize the purple-haired man; full of wounds; that you know so well; is a figure in the middle of free-fall towards the unknown land below.
"NO! THIS IS NOT THE END I WANT!" Leviathan's hand reached out like he was trying hard to get hold of something both of you and him can see no more. Something above there, that already far-far-far away from his place now.
Maybe someplace behind those fluffy cotton clouds, full of beauty and peace.
The halo that was perched overhead, now it's completely gone. Replaced by a pair of branched horns. It stuck out arbitrarily through the hair that was tossed wildly by the wind. The white cloth was now gone too. Getting eaten by the black color covering him like a flame eating his whole body slowly..
You also see how the long tail that used to warmly embrace you, now its appearance produces screams full of pain from the man.
"LEVI!" You want to shout his name as loud as you can. Stopping his rapidity with magic, or just moving after it and embracing him so that those angry face of frustration disappears.
But, your tongue was dumb. Throat suffocated like it doesn't have vocal cords for making even a little bit of sound. You can only do nothing with your body frozen in place.
While Leviathan keeps moving to the pitch-dark world beneath your feet.
"LEVI!" You tried to call him again. But it is always his sound that only can be heard between the wind that keeps blowing harder.
Your eyes caught a spark-like tears falling from the man's face.
"I never wanted to come ...
... to a place LIKE THIS!!"
You open your eyes wide. Feel the forehead wet with cold sweat to the neck. Chest still rising and falling breathlessly and your throat is still as dry as you felt earlier.
Now, the scene before your eyes had completely changed. There is no longer the night sky and stars, but the ceiling of the room with a dim blue light from the hanging jellyfish lamp. There was no sound of screaming either, apart from the ripples of the water from a large aquarium behind the back and the soft snoring of someone.
A sleeping Leviathan lay in the same bath up with you. Facing you. No wounds or tears. No painful cry. Only the peace of a figure who was drowning in his dreamland.
With a hand still weak and trembling, you caressing Leviathan's cheek carefully.
"Mm ... MC ...? Are you awake?" asked Levi, half awake.
"...um." You answered, still caressing his cheeks. Then, the top of his head. Rubbing the strands of hair that almost covered Leviathan's eyes.
Curios, mixed with embarasment by your action, he decide to open his eyes and asking the meaning of your doing now.
However, he was stopped by a tears that fell down on your cheeks. Leviathan sat up and exclaimend in panic, "E-Eh!? MC? What's wrong!? Are you ok? Wh-Why are you crying--"
You get up too. Without answering and saying anything, immediately threw yourself at Leviathan. Hug him tight. Buried your face in his broad chest, but still trying hard to hold back the sobs that actually made your shoulders shake even more violently.
"It's okay .... It's okay now. 'Cause I'm always here with you."
You tighten your hug. "Please, no more cry. You can tell me all your pain, all your sadness, your sore, to me. Promise not to grieve anymore. Because I am here."
A pair of arms then feel wrapped around your body. Reciprocate the hug that brought you closer together. Erasing the remnants of the existing distance and sharing the warmth of each other's bodies.
With a low and soft voice, Leviathan finally replied, "I promise, MC."
