Just a Dream!

Jin didn't say anything as the person was crying next to him, although he felt a little bit of pity for him. He waited for a while. The person didn't stop crying. "Hey you okay?", at long last Jin asked.

"Unforgivable! Unforgivable!!", the person murmured and then shouted. "I can't forgive anyone. I won't forgive you for this humiliation! Also I won't forgive that Marcy person!!", the person stood up and shouted.

Jin looked at him in utter surprise. "Then what're you gonna do now?", Jin asked.

"Simply Unforgivable!!", said the person as he stretched his hand in the air towards his scythe. As soon as he did that the scythe that was locked all this time got unlocked from the ground and quickly came to his hand. Probably that's some sort of mystical bond between the person and his scythe. "Since I can't finish you off in a real battle I'll destroy this place and die alongside you!", the person said as he slashed the ground with the scythe. Suddenly with a sharp gust of wind and a tremendous sound the ground was cut into two halves between Jin and himself.

As soon as the ground was cut magma from below started gushing upwards finding the hollow space of the cut. As a result both the halves of the ground started breaking down causing both the person and Jin to lose balance and fall below into the sea of lava.

"Hey Old man, have you gone nuts!? What good will it do dying at a place like this, for both of us? I thought we could make an escape plan together!", Jin shouted feeling disappointed about the person with the scythe. For a while he really started thinking that the person was different at heart than he appeared to be. Still what can be done after he made such a suicidal move. He started looking for some firm ground as the ground beneath his feet were breaking down completely.

As Jin was falling he looked at the person one last time. Just like him the person was also falling down into the sea of lava but unlike him the person didn't seem to care. The person's face can now be seen clearly as the cloak hiding his face got away. The person really looks just like a normal person with short golden hair. The person was looking firmly towards Jin. Then he pointed the blade of his scythe towards Jin quickly and started laughing.

"I don't know if it'll do any good to you dying at a place like this. But for me, I can't live a life of humiliation!", the person shouted looking towards Jin with the same fierce eyes. "Now die! And mourn in the next world!!", the person threw his scythe towards Jin with a terrifying speed. Without any firm ground below his feet Jin was in no position to dodge the scythe rushing towards him and with such tremendous speed. Jin looked at the finely polished as well as deadly sharp blade of the scythe as it was rushing closer and closer with every passing moment.

Suddenly just the moment before the scythe pierces his body Jin felt darkness everywhere. With a sudden shock he finally woke up from a terrifying nightmare. He felt he was lying in a comfortable bed of an extremely hot and fumy wooden room. He didn't get up although as he actually felt somehow relieved. "So it was all", he closed his eyes, "Just a Dream!", he thought.
