Inner World

She needed to listen to Ki's own sound to fully determine the true cause of this disturbance that she felt was going to be harmful to the young lady before her.

Ki picked it up and began to play and sing along, she had the right movements and a clear voice that could carry far but she was still a little lacking compared to those who had practiced for many years but her overall efforts were shown for the short time that she had to practice.

After she had finished her performance, Sonare had a serious look in her eyes. "Forgive me.. but I have to test something. Please trust that I do not wish to bring harm to you but wish to help."

She took it back and began to play another song completely different while utilising her Sound Arts.

Strangely as that happened, Ki sat down with her eyes closed and had a look of struggling on her face.

As the music and Sound Arts influenced her, she found herself deep within a world of her self conscious or an illusion created by Sonare.

Before her was endless blood and resentment, within that endless blood and evil aura was a figure that seemed to walk about it freely as if it belonged there but once it was within view, it locked its murderous red eyes upon her as if she was prey.

All of the world began to shake and draw towards the figure forming a more clear image.

It was herself but it also wasn't.

It was a remnant of a past life full of resentment, rage, murderous intent and blood on her hands.

A small young woman covered head to toe in wounds but many bodies continued to pile up at her feet as she still continued to walk on after absorbing them and her surroundings becoming even more creepy, cruel and murderous as time passes.

It was something she had confronted and destroyed during her time breaking through to the Unrestrained Realm in her previous life.

It taunted her and tried to break her down but in the end, she cut it down many times until it finally disappeared and did not get in the way of her breakthrough and enlightenment.

What she was seeing was her own manifestation of her own heart devil.

Only this time it seemed even more scary as it slowly turned more resentful and bloody forming the image of a scary looking old lady who beneath the many scars had a powerful bloody and murderous aura surrounding herself.

Just as she got closer, her eyes coldly looked down upon Ki as if she was an ant that could easily be stepped on. "How did you get in here? It is not yet time for you to appear here yet. Did you get some outside help? No matter.. since you came. You can give up yourself to me child, I know you no longer wish to carry the resentment any longer. Give it to me. Give it to me now."

Ki could feel the heavy pressure upon her body and felt weak compared to the entity in front of herself. "I… cannot."

The old woman creepily smiled mockingly towards her. "You have no choice!"

She walked in front of Ki and reached out her hand towards her face and looked to be absorbing something from within her. "See… you concealed it well these many years but you cannot completely get rid of it. It will always remain."

She showed Ki a large mass of a mixture of different auras containing the things she had continued to try to suppress and hide from those around herself. "Do you see it? This is the true you. Why hide it? For those dead people? Ha! They died once, they will die again! Do not think otherwise! Even if you do save them, will they forgive you for what you are and what you have done? Will they even accept you? Do not make me laugh! Those family you wish to save are figments of a past you could not prevent and are stopping you from achieving your true revenge! Come! Take my hand! Destro..is..co..ed….wo…ld…a..g…wi…me."

Her voice became more shrill and angry penetrating deep into Ki's mind as she tried to struggle against the old woman's influence when suddenly the image before her grew more fuzzy and unclear.

Even the sounds that she heard started to become unclear.

As she was gaining distance from the old woman, the old woman began to chase after her relentlessly with eyes full of hate until she was left to once again stand among the bloody and murderous space.

Just as it ended, she opened her eyes with a fearful look in her eyes and then began to calm herself down. "What did you do?"
