Stop.
Move.
Breathe.
Cold mist.
Deep water.
A claw rends the mist, powering through the floor of this dead realm. Red blood splashes from the soul of the rice field. There is a spiritual cry, but it’s not pain. No pain could exist here, nothing could.
Irrelevant.
Your mind is a machine of pure focus and will. You are concealed by the blood of the water kami. The demon will not see you. The demon cannot see you. The mist hides you, the water of the rice field holds you, embraces you with its gentle touch. You cannot be harmed here, not now, not today.
Move.
Stop.
Move.
Breathe.
Cold mist.
Deep water.
Time is irrelevant now. The mist holds. It’s only a matter of time. You approach the core.
The demon is panicking now, lashing out more and more in fear and rage. Its tantrum feeds your resolve. The will to live blooms in your chest, powerful and strong.
Masami.
Stop.
Naoki.
Breathe.
Friends.
Cold mist.
Family.
Deep water.
You stand and begin to walk. You are utterly safe. Your mind is a machine of pure focus and will. You are concealed by the blood of the water kami. The demon will not see you. The demon cannot see you.
Eventually the mist parts and you step out back into that endless expanse of nothingness, but this time something huge looms before you, an egg made of rice and flesh, drinking in power from the water, from the rice field on the other side of this nightmare. It was an aberration, a knot of spiritual concepts twisted into something that should not have been mixed.
There is only silence for you now. The demon is dead still, watching you. It cannot attack without risking you striking out at the core. The moment it moved was the moment it died. Its heart and soul was now literally in your hands.
A psychic plea makes itself known in your bones. The thing knew that it was doomed, but it wanted to influence how.
