lyrics

i. Requiem

Part three of Kerragan's dream sequence. In this one, Kerragan sees himself as part of a secret project, being an informer for Sharhodeon.

A sudden pulse of sound was the signal. Creator had revived Derek Unmattias. Kerragan suddenly woke up yet again. Upon inspection, he discovered that he was on a large floating island. There was lava below it, as far as the eye could see. Was this an illusion? His instincts told him that it was.

”So, you’ve woken up again.”

”Who’s there?”

”Just someone you know fairly well. I’m surprised that you’ve gone and taken my body from me, Emeroch. Or should I say, Kerragan.”

”Dränsilane?!”

”Yes, it’s me, the spirit of your brother. Had you waited long enough for me, I would have granted you the use of the body of the miserable wretch you now inhabit.”

”I couldn’t resist, Dränsilane, I swear. The opportunity presented itself, and I took my chances.”

”Are you begging?”

”What?”

”It just belies your obvious talent to beg to me, your older brother. I’m not angry, Emeroch. I’m just concerned for your safety. We operate as a twosome, and I could never have gotten as far as we have solo. But that’s beside the point. My Instinct tells me that you’re in danger.”

”Instinct? That was a failed experiment, Dränsilane.”

”Only because we were unable to hone it all the way. It is still at 85 percent capacity in my body. I’ve still been able to walk on water as well, so I think that anything it tries to peddle off as fact is fairly reliable. Did you get hit by Reve’s bastard sword?”

”Only once. It’s a light scratch on my hand, but… Wait.”

”Now you’re seeing it.”

”So if she went behind the mirror to retrieve that sword, based on our theories, I’m bound for the Wysteriascape, aren’t I?”

”Probably. That was a poisoned blade, Emeroch. It’s the same bastard sword that Unknown Iahae retrieved from the beach, and the same one that Ross received from the burning rubble that was the Temple of the Sun. The people of the Wysteriascape tainted the sword with a parasite that will control the victim’s motor skills and guide him back to the civilization. Remember Lloyd Cathrop? He came down with Gondii Maledicta as well.”

”So I’m currently wondering if I should resist these visions I’m having, or I should go with it and find myself in the Wysteriascape when I truly wake up.”

”Now that you mention it, there is the power of immorality in that city. If you think you can make it home, Emeroch…”

”I should fare just fine.”
