It was dark and yet again the moon shone purple, clouding Hanako's dreams and spoiling her from within. She awoke with a start, panting slightly as panic seared through her veins. The pain was long gone, trapped inside her nightmares but she couldn't find it within herself to fall back asleep, to settle into the safety of Azure's embrace. It was one thing to have one bad night's rest but two in a row? An unwelcome pattern was forming and for the life of her she didn't know why this was happening to her. No one else had complained about it, so she felt safe to assume no one else was suffering from the same affliction. Whatever it was, a curse or a sickness, it was hard to say, or if she even believed in the former.
Wandering out to the Willows, the air was thick with the same floating blue dots she'd found down on Obsidian Beach. She'd gotten a little distracted before but now she couldn't help but wonder what they were, not bugs in nature or sound but when she gently reached out for them, they were quick to skitter out of the way. Or rather...she blinked and they faded from sight. Leaving her alone with dancing shadows, shapes and forms rising and blending together as though figures were approaching. Just out of range of her senses.
"Is someone there?" She asked the darkness.
