Nightmares, unknown figures, Kiiro.
Hello everyone. A different story from my paranormal experiences. I might have my ages wrong, but this is the basic order (I think...)
It started when I was 11, all these sudden nightmares. In all of the nightmares I was the same figure.
A girl 4 years older than my current age with tan/dark skin and long silvery hair. I knew that my eyes reminded everyone in a town of a once "great, powerful, but evil man." The color was simply called demon fire. In these nightmares the people would be attacking me, or that something bad would suddenly happen to me and the town would be my only chance of help, and they all did nothing or dragged their feet. I had been mad at the people in this town for a while, and I would curse them at night by a gravestone. The gravestone was of the "great, powerful, evil man" and that I had known him as none of those. I hated the people (but one boy specifically) for killing him. I fell in love with a traveler who was about the same age as I looked in these dreams, his name was something like "Kaz" or "Kano" ... maybe "Ienzo" suggested by recent evidence. My name in this town was "Yugure", pronounced (You-GOO-ray).
After the details of myself and that traveler became clearer, I started seeing glowing yellow eyes in the dark of my room. Those eyes were from a tall figure, about 6 foot 8 maybe. He just watched me, didn't do much else. It made me nervous seeing him in my waking-hours, especially when there were other figures in the hallway with a much more defined shape (some times I would see see-through people, other times a voice whispered "hey, you!" or "this way" trying to get attension)
When I turned 13, the nightmares got worse. I wasn't just ignored and disliked by the townspeople, but now strange creatures appeared around, they had shiney black skin with those glowing yellow eyes, they didn't have a look or feel of evil. More like they were confused. They could stand on two legs, but most of them ran on all fours, they had some characteristics that reminded me of monkeys with the way they could move. They had long, clawed fingers and their feet were wierdly long and thin, curled upwards a bit. They spoke in clicks, hisses, and growls. I didn't know what they were saying but they were drawn to me.... And they destroyed the town and killed many of the people, but I was more conserned about "Kano", he didn't return. They had knocked on my door, and right as I answered it I would be forced to wake up by the alarm clock in my room.
These dreams, not reoccuring, but more like a continuation, were bothering me. I saw those yellow eyes again one night and whispered, "if you want to see me, don't be so nervous. Make up your mind."
That night, I "woke up" in the town. I was fighting against the black-skinned creatures. They were attacking me in the middle of almost total darkness. It felt like everyone in the town was dead. I used a katana-like sword, but even though I could attack them, it seemed like their skin was more like thick scales or metal. I was getting pretty injurred and frustrated because I was loosing.
Then right when I was giving up, I felt someone tall grab me and pick me up, somehow they stopped the black creatures. I couldn't see any facial details, because he was wearing a dark brown hooded cloak, he was also wearing a tanish long-sleeve shirt that met almost perfectly to his thick blood red gloves.
"They should no longer harm you." he said. His voice was dark, smooth, and low. His accent was a mixture of Russian and German. I suddenly realized that his eyes were like the creatures. They were glowing yellow. And of coarse I wake up at that point. I remember that much because I was so mad. My arms were sore like as if I had worked out and I had claw-like scratches on my arm. (which vanished shortly later)
The next night, I went to sleep and "woke up" in a place I didn't know. It looked almost like what you'd think to see in a gothic-mideval bedroom in a castle. I walked out of the bedroom and down a hallway to see that man sitting in a chair and speaking in the clicks and hisses to one of the creatures. When he noticed I was there he seemed to order the creature to leave, like how royalty might order a servant to leave. He invited me into the room and I did, but not without suspicion. We spoke for a while, he said I could call him "Kiiro", pronounced (KEY-row), it was the first part of his name. I asked his entire name, but when he said it I quickly knew why he chose to tell me a nickname... It was impossible for me to remember or pronounce. He told me that I was the daughter of a man who wished for change, but maybe not in the best way. That my father was feared by many beings in many different places. Not just that little back-woods town. But that's not the topic of this one.
Kiiro told me that he (himself) was once a well-respected general among "soul-eaters", in service to the King. The King wanted to move faster into taking over a different realm (they were talking about the one we live in) and then to take over and push us into absolute chaos. He occasionally sends out spys, to "test the waters" and usually are there to cause trouble for us. They cause some out-of-body experiences and some possessions in which a crime is committed, but there are also many other factors in such happenings. Kiiro was going to be sent out to take control of someone who was considered important "to a very large ammount of humans". I asked for a name, but Kiiro wouldn't give it, only saying that it was too many years ago to matter now.
He didn't want to and defied the King, and took 1/3rd of the entire population of soul-eaters with him who agreed with him. Now he was using the soul-eaters to assist when he could and to stop the ones still in service to the King.
Kiiro also talked to me about the figure(s) I saw in the house, and that "they will no longer be permitted to wander my territory freely." We spoke for a while that one night, and much of the conversation is a blur, but he also told me that when he had succedded in over-throwing the King, he wanted me to follow him so he could teach me important things, and that in exchange he would guard me durring the waking hours. I quickly agreed under specified terms.
We spent a lot of time for the next (2 years real-time) training in swordplay and magic. He also taught me flight to a certain extent... which I found the limits of quickly. I HATE falling from the sky, it wakes me up and makes me feel like I got punched in the stomach.
When I was 15 my training was over, and he let me know more about my other life, as he called it. Basically, its like I have myself that I go to work/school with and hang out with friends, but then in that place I am Yugure, who is a different person with the same identity. He told me that my age (in the place when I sleep) is 22, and that I had a 2 year old son who had vanished at the same time as my huspand. He knew that my son was located at his ex-King's castle, where he had somehow been forced to age to 17 and was brainwashed into thinking he was the Prince of Soul-Eaters, but he had no idea who my huspand was.
He allowed me to remember it on a first-hand account, and that made me want to go kill that King of Soul-Eaters right there. Unfortunately, Yugure is impulsive, and I marched myself right into the land of Soul-Eaters and started trying to find the King. I was attacked by the 17 year old boy I recognized as my son. Of coarse I couldn't fight him, and lost. I was saved by a pale woman with black hair, she had Cerberus (as in the hellhound, owned by Hades) and got me out. She took me back to the dark forest where Kiiro and I lived with the words "you need to sit down and think first. See you at school tomarrow." WTF, I though. SCHOOL!? But this story isn't about her, so I'll continue with Kiiro.
Kiiro found me and gave me quite the nagging. Ever since then he's been following me a bit closer when I'm awake. (its funny, he thinks that my waking life is a bad influence).
Sometimes he allows me to have out of body experiences if he wants me to see something (that I couldn't get to if I was.. physical?). He also talks to me and says I should share my experiences here. So everyone know, not all demonic-things are bad.
Currently, Kiiro is setting his plans of overthrowing the King into place, and the reason is because "Yugure" was taken by the King. I hate the King. He's creepy, even with a human-like form. The soul-eaters call me the Queen, but I want NO part of royalty in that place. Many other spirits are assisting Kiiro's side. While I am kidnapped, its like I can't see anything when I'm awake, and I can't have dreams eather. I only hear things now (my bedroom door opens and closes, but I can't tell who/what is there and no one is home. It creeps me out. when I ask "please stop opening and closing the door, I can't see you today." it stops, so I honestly assume it's little brother and hes is extremely worried.)
"Human creativity comes from reality of a far-off place" is a saying that I go by, because some of the spirits that assist me remind me strongly of characters from a familiar story.
Anyway though. I know in waking-hours the woman who had Cerberus and she allowed herself to be temporarily possessed by a few of my spirit-bound friends. First Little Brother who hugged me and said he was "doing really great fighting!" and that he wanted to challenge the King himself, even though he knew it wasn't his place. Next was my son (who we had gained on our side and he knew who I was again) and he said "Your little brothers wierd. I still don't believe I'm really younger than him. Anyway, I promise we will return you." Then some of my casual spirit friends, and then finally my huspand. I asked him "Say.. four years ago... what do you remember from back then?" He said simply, "not enough. Just.. something bad that I shouldn't trouble you with, Yugure." Man it sucks having him be all not-knowing who I am and formal to me. He's only so formal because my father (who is also assisting in the attack) is basically his boss. After they were all done, she told me that I had a different friend from the waking-hours who was using "enemy troop's heads as spear-toppers and soccer balls"... damn him in the wierdest way.
And I am still waiting for the results. I had a small dream in which where I was being kept was changed and that something that "drastically changed" the fight happened. I've been hearing less door openings but still some. I'm wondering what other things will happen?
In order to take my mind off of it all, I've been spending time with my friends as often as possible. Usualy though, there is something to keep my thoughts.
EX: the photoshoot last week. Me and my friends are cosplayers and they were dressed as characters from Hellsing, and we were going to have a photoshoot in a cemetary down the main road a bit. There was a couple of wierd sounds, but some of our photos are really wierd... You can find/view them on true-aerith.deviantart.com under my Gallery. The explainations of the oddities in the photos are there.
Well, basically its like I know I have an entirely different life, but my only clue is/was the glowing yellow eyes that belong to Kiiro. I know this sounds really out there, but I'm serious and I know its real. Especially when I'm told things as "Yugure" and then when I'm awake I find the messages from the people in that place.
EDIT: Wooo! I found out what that "drastic change" was!!!!
When I felt the change, I had a short moment as Yugure, and I was standing up and following someone wearing black clothes silently. That was all I saw.
I spoke with my friend who was there, and she said that I was located! Yay! As for the King of Soul-eaters, he was found and Kiiro has him under tight supervision and probably plans on execution. He never does say his plans to anyone else until its time, after all. GRR! I wanted to be a part of this war so badly!!! I can't believe I missed ALL of it! T_T
My husband found me, and my friend said that's who I was following. I must have been silent because of my indignance for needing help, my slight mental instability of being apart from the rest of my spirit, and my anger for not getting to fight.
Though we were inside the enemy stronghold and had taken the King, there are still many soul-eaters around who would destroy us, she says. And that it was little brother opening and closing the door because he was impatient trying to bring me back together. XD
Now its just a matter of time before Kiiro is the King... and I'm sure everyone everywhere will have a lot less nightmares and it will become a lot harder to get possessed by evil spirits too!
I only wish things would move along faster!! *had a secret desire to walk the halls of the soul-eaters castle ever since I first saw it*
Also, I've been drawing a lot and I'll try to edit a picture to look like someone. Only one thing though, I draw anime style so it'll look a little silly to most people.
