[i]Sora Ayanami couldn't remember how long he had been lying down, his back on the surface of the sea that stretched out all the way towards the horizon beyond - everywhere around him was so quiet, so bizarre that there was no doubt he's in a dream. The orange-red sky above clashed with the blueness of the water beneath him; his consciousness felt fully awake in here, and the dead silence was beginning to unnerve him, filling his ears with a low hum that he had to remind himself it was nothing more than a figment of his imagination. He closed his eyes.

Startled by a voice - a sharp, feminine one - he bolted upright, sending ripples across the once-stagnant liquid. He looked around fervently, trying to pinpoint to source. He then got up to his feet, vaguely noticing the water turning into a murky green from the disturbance.[/i] [color=00aeef]Where are you?[/color] [i]he frowned, squinting his eyes and staring hard into the infinity.[/i] [color=00aeef]Who are you?[/color] [i]As if she had heard his thoughts, he picked up the same voice again, this time she was singing to a melodic tune:

[quote][color=f49ac2]God forsook us but Death would not come
In the depths of the dark I searched for a light
Across the stars I yearned for the one
And now the final chapter has begun[/color][/quote]
As the last note reverberated across the dreamscape, he suddenly felt a deep sadness welling up somewhere inside of him, his whole body shuddering uncontrollably at the glimpses of horrifying scenes that were spinning faster and faster in his mind. He dropped to his knees, clutching his head and screamed, [color=00aeef]"Stop it, whatever the hell you are! Leave me alone! And get out of my head!"[/color]

[color=f49ac2]"My vision has shown me the way. You are the answer to what I have been seeking for eons."[/color]

He raised his head to see a figure looming closer - a petite girl with strange pinkish hair and blood-red eyes - before the pain was too much for him to bear, and his eyes rolled up to the roof of their sockets, the trance world disappeared into nothingness.[/i]
