Weiss Kreuz Fan Fiction / Yami No Matsuei Fan Fiction ❯ Red Shaman ❯ Nightmare ( Chapter 31 )

Blaze knew that she was dreaming. Knew it and still couldn't take control of the dream or wake herself up from it. And couldn't stop the voice echoing in her head.

 

Edana,

Known in many guises,

Called of many names,

Mother of flame,

Powerful one,

Queen of the midnight,

 

STOP!!! Blaze nearly screamed.

 

Why? All of these things are true. Every last one is an honor called of and given you.

 

I will not allow you a call of honors yet, Tal.

 

Perhaps you are correct. It is not yet time.

 

Why?

I am tired, my old friend. I do not have your strength of will to go on. I am sorry it must be you. Yet I am exultant as well. I shall be most content to die at your hands.

 

I still don't understand why you want this.

 

For a very simple reason. In my soul there is a yearning an ember fanned to burning from a spark that flew from far across the sea. Every year, ever louder grows the song every time the pipes or bodhran start to play. In my heart there is a singing ever closer to me bringing the day when I'll no longer stay away.

 

But why do you feel the need to die for that? Surely you can go home without needing to pass through the veil.

 

I have been too long in this form. I need to begin again. Call me home, Mother, bring me home.

 

*******************************Author's Notes**************************************

A bodhran is pronounced ('bow·ron, 'bor·on) and is Irish frame drum, covered on one side usually with goatskin. Often played with a double-end stick sometimes played with a single-end stick or by hand.

 

The song in this chapter is “Call Me Home” by Emerald Rose.

 

Powerful one has often been a name attributed to Sekhemet, the destroyer goddess of Egyptian theology. I will give that great goddess the honor she is due. I am only borrowing it. No, Blaze is not Sekhemet.

 

Thanks to everyone who has reviewed this work so far. I think that's three people. Moimoi-chan. (You just updated everything recently so I won't bug you too much) KD Sarge -Aren't you supposed to be updating something? BlueFolly10- Please, please, please update Tarantella. You're all so wonderful and keep me going. Oh, maybe that's a bad thing. I swear this isn't the fic that never ends.
