Sohalia had been dragging around in the heavens. She wasn't looking very healthy either... So finally her father Astorphel approached her. This was very serious. She had stopped using her powers since the falling out with Akemi. And if she didn't use them, they would fade and she would be banished from the heavens. She couldn't bare to be near her dream walking mother either. So she was forced into dream walking. It had been just over a week since she did. And it was painful... She would usually have spent every night with Akemi. But after that time; she was never able to see his dreams, and she stopped trying. But even now, she still thought of him as she walked others dreams.

Akemi sighed, looking down at the mare that slept peacefully beside him. While he wanted to believe that he truely loved her with all of his heart, he knew it not to be true. After spending so much time with the exotic female and experiencing so many different things with her, he had grown to care for her greatly. Yet the love he possessed for the mare didn't extend past that of friendship. They had shared many things in the days between them; Food, family, entertainment... Lust. Ever since SHE had made her decision, his life had become a mixture of intense emotions. Not all of them possitive like he would like to believe. Giving the mare at his side one last look, he laid his head down and closed his eyes. He would once again have to face the nightmares that plagued him each night. The dream catchers wouldn't be able to save him this time.
He 'reawoke', his human hands gripping at the naked flesh of his arms. A deep ocianic blue sky streached out above him, twinkling stars winked at him. Pain flashed through his eyes, as he realized where this dream led him. His knees gave out and he fell to the ground, landing in a familiar indent in the soft grass. Of all the places his dreams had to take him, why did it lead him here? His head turned to the side, black locks of hair splayed out beneath him. He sorrowfully took in the sight of an empty indentation in the grass beside him, a reminder of what he had once had. His mouth opened to speak her name, but he couldn't force himself to speak. A single tear dripping down his cheek as the feeling of lonelyness took over his body.

Sohalia was watching a dream as normal... But it was then that there was this pain that felt it was ripping through her. She fell to her knees, her hands moved to her head, it was going to split open. Her silver eyes looked up and she watched the dream she was in shred, but the horse there was un harmed... It was just her being affected by this. Had she waited to long...? Her fingers curled into her hair, and she pulled at her, her lips parting only to let out a blood curtling scream. Her flesh burnt... She could see something... Her eyes filled with tears from the pain. The starry sky, and the familiar grass, but it fazed out again. She could hear something ringing in her ears... It was still her own scream. Her body started to convulse... Akemi... It was Akemi. Her eyes started to blur with red. Her own blood as she was being ripped from the dream she was in. He had thought of her. Her heart must have felt it. Her body was being ripped to shreds.
She looked down at the figure of Akemi, she wanted to reach out to him, and as she did, the warmth of her blood slipped along her skin, and dripped off her fingers. The drops of blood landing on Akemi.

Akemi's heart stopped when the silence of his nightmare was broken by a sound that would haunt him for days. A blood curling scream shattered the silence around him, bringing him to his bare footed feet. "Soha!?" He yelled, indentifying her voice right away. Where was she?! "Soha!" He yelled louder, his voice desperate as he looked around him. His tears flowed freely now, as the helplessness in his situation became apparent. He fell to his knees and screamed up towards the sky. The sky replied with rain, and the nonstop thunder of Soha's scream. 'Rain?' he thought, bringing his hand out before his eyes. 'No, not rain' his eyes widened, horrified at what he was seeing. 'Blood'. His neck snapped upward and he took in the sight of Soha against the silouette of the moon. "Soha!" He yelled again, reached up at her, onto his tip toes. Why couldn't he reach her? And then, just as their eyes truly met for the first time in months, she was gone. He stared up at the sky, his mouth haning open in horror and tears flowing in an unending stream from his eyes. The sticky feeling of blood, Sohalia's blood, coated his body in a wet glove. His heart was pounding and breaking all over again. He whole body shook and his eyes slowly rotated to the back of his head.
"Soha!" Akemi gasped for air, violently waking from the nightmare. He tore the blanket from his large body, and stepped out of the teepee into the cold night air. His chest puffed out as he stared up at the silent sky, searching for something he knew he wouldn't find. Never before had Sohalia appeared in a nightmare before him. That was something different. It felt too real. "I've got to go," He spoke glancing around at the empty grounds around him. The herdmembers were asleep. He wouldn't have any problem sneaking out. Something was tugging at his chest, a feeling that he couldn't explain even to himself. He was to go west.

Soha had blacked out. She didn't know what happened... But the pain... It hurt so much. Why wasn't there anyone there helping her... Her eyes looked around, but something wasn't right.. She was falling. The wind was whipping through her form. She didn't even have the strenght to roll over and drift. The air stinging her cuts. Her wings ached. Her smaller frame just sunk. Why did Heaven let her drop...? Her eyes closed as her hair was pulled at by the wind, it wouldn't be long now...
Thankfully the mare had passed out. Her form crashed into the trashed and when thundering down through branches before lifelessly slamming into the ground with a slight bounce. Her chest rose and fell... She was still breathing amazingly, but blood was still seeping out. She wouldn't wake again for a while. Not until Akemi found her... Her soul, that was drifting in the dream world.

His brain was shut off to the world at he flew, pushing his body to it's breaking point. Sweat dripped down his brow, and his wings flapped desperately, trying to go faster. With each second, he felt himself grow closer... Closer to what? Akemi growled, his blue eyes glaring at the moon above him. Did he really expect to find Sohalia at the end of this, or was he just being foolish? No. There was no reason Sohalia would finally choose to visit him for no reason. Something was wrong, and his heart told him that he'd find out soon.
Time flew by, and before Akemi knew it, it was dawn. The sun creeped up over the horizon, as the moon disappeared. Pinks and oranges streached across the sky, and the tugging in his heart was becoming weaker. His wings cried at him to slow down, but he ignored the pain. He knew that he was close. "Sohalia!" He yelled out, his eyes searching the ground. 'This is hopeless. I have to get closer,' He thought, gliding down into a rough landing. Hooves finding the solid ground, his sore wings tucked themselves into his sides as he looked around. 'Nothing,' he frowned, turning his head to look towards the denser part of the forest. Predators would be lingering in the shadows but... He had to be sure. Stepping into the darkness, Akemi kept his eyes pealed, looking for any sign of Sohalia. Twigs grasped and scratched at his sides, but he paid no heed to the minor pains. "Soha?" He called, entering a small clearing. His breath caught in his throat, and he paused for a single moment.
There before him, was his friend; broken and bleeding. Her eyes were closed and her coat stained red. Short, weak puff of her chest him were the only evidence of her bodies life. Akemi's body trembled as he stumbled forward to her side, crouching down to press his face against her shoulders. "Sohalia," He whispered, shaking her lightly. After no response, Akemi jumped to action, ripping the fabric from his sash. "Hang in there, Soha," Akemi tied the makeshift bandages around her wounds, inspecting her body for any signs of internal bleeding or broken bones. Finding nothing to worry him further, Akemi finished up with his job, cursing the fact that he didn't carry strong Uni blood in his line.
It had taken him a hour before he could start up a reasonable sized fire. He had settled the broken mare against his side, trying to keep her warm.
How long would she be stuck like this? Akemi's eyes were already growing heavy with his lack of sleep and exertion that he had put upon his body. He glanced around the clearing once more before deciding that it was safe enough for a quick nap.

When Sohalia opened her eyes, all she saw was starry skies. She felt the grass under her... It was that place. She was in Akemi's dream, or she should say, their dream. But there was no warmth beside her. No Akemi. Her fingers reached to the sky, and her eyes cause glimpse of the shredding that happened. She was broken now... By why was she here? She didn't think it was possible for herself to be in a dream without the creator.
She felt lonely, which was strange. It was like the life of this dream was gone. She tried to sit up but it wasn't possible. She couldn't move, she was so tired. Sohalia wasn't to sure if see would be stuck there. She looked to her right to where Akemi would normally lay. Akemi... She saw him after months. How did this all happen in the first place? All she wanted was for him to tell her, he wanted her... She tightly closed her eyes tears spilling out. She didn't think he wanted her...
