Dream ∞ 03
Warnings: Running and death of others. Also from Emil's POV
Dream Effects: Dread, fear followed soon by horror and despair. However it ends with the feeling of serenity for some reason...
Emil is running. What he's running from who knows, however it becomes apparent that it doesn't matter. The town he was in was lit with flames that seemed to be colored in the blood of those lying around him. As he runs through this chaos, he's not the only one still alive. In fact, he's following after them desperately trying to keep up with them. Soon they both turn back to face him.
"This way! Hurry!" shouted the man as Emil tried his best to catch up with them both.
"Yes," the woman quickly agreed trying to help encourage him.
"Emil, hurry! We must get away or we're all killed by Lloyd!"
Emil continued to run towards them, finally reaching them--
"Who did you say was going to kill you?"
The voice sent a chill down his back as all three of them looked towards a figure standing on a stone bridge.
"Lloyd Irving!" his father yelled in horror and disbelief. Hearing that name made his stomach drop instantly and filled him with dread.
"The people of Palmacosta have aided the Vanguard and undermined the authority of the Church of Martel and the Chosen," Lloyd calmly states as he unsheathes his two swords, "The punishment for this crime is death."
Lloyd immediately lunged towards them, swords at the ready to strike and to kill. His mother was the first to take the hit as he heard her scream in agony right in front of his eyes.
"Mom!"
"Emil, run! Get away from here!" his father shouted back at him, pushing him away at the same time. He got only one last look back as he saw Lloyd attack his father.
Suddenly it fades to pitch black and it's as if he's floating in nothingness. It seemed to go on forever as Emil could do nothing but try and hold back the tears. The memories were still at the front of his mind, making this space seem even more frightening. His clenched his head between his hands as it had begun to pound. He was the only one there and he didn't know how to get out or if he even could get out...
Suddenly though, he's not alone. A pair of familiar arms wrap themselves around his chest from behind. In that small instance, the darkness didn't seem so frightening. In fact, he almost didn't notice how the black darkness started to fade into a peace white light around him. His fears and confusion were gone in that instant, along with his headache as he let his arms relax.
"It'll be fine, Emil. I promised I'd stick with you remember? You're not alone," reassured the person from behind. A very familiar voice.
"... M-Marta?"
Emil could barely bring himself to ask as he turned to look behind him, not sure if it really was her or not. However, it was. Marta!
She smiled at him encouragingly, before everything suddenly faded to white.

[Even with the strange ending to the dream, Emil awoke with a start. After a few moments of looking around as if trying to remember where he was, he slowly wraps his arms around his legs, pulling them to his chest. It takes him a few moments sitting like that before he notices a dark orangish colored light from his Dreamberry. Eyes suddenly wide he reaches out with one hand, cutting the feed off]
