Ooooh Man (Ricky, Viper)

Viper had forgiven Ricky without even taking the motive to plunge the dagger, instead he took it from Ricky as he knelt there astonished. How could such a man find the ability to forgive in all the anger, how could he begin to find a light amidst all the darkness; a truth where as everything else seemed a lie. Viper was indeed honorable in finding the ability to forgive Ricky, and though the fisherman could humbly respect his decision he could not see how. How it was that Viper was exactly able to see Ricky's wrong doing be corrected? What had he planned that would finaly open the door to the truth? Ricky watched in awe as he was still under the mercy of Viper, caught off guard by what he would do next.

The man had taken Gin's hands and used her to plunge the dagger into his own heart, watching her intently as he found himself now dying before her. Shock filled Rickys face as he felt a part of himself go with Viper, the man now falling to the ground near Gin. In the moment he did the dagger happen to glow and burst into a fabrication of light that soon vanished, and where Vipers heart would have been a much more brighter light shone out. His body soon became immaterial as it dissapated, and a hum could be heard as the body of Viper itself faded into a light that soon vanished from the dream. That hum was familiar to Ricky as he too could recall it, the same resonance he could feel in his own being. The same type of love and happiness he wished for also existed into Viper, all because Gin had to have one specific nightmare.

When Viper died it was a scene out of a fabled story, a romantic scene that played out in an unexpected turn. It was beautiful in a sense, a tragedy that would end well for the audience that watched. This was the revelation Ricky was looking for, the inspiration to begin his own story. To become someone important to others and know that they care, to feel that loyal trust between friends and companions and know they have your back. He sought to end this curse of lonelyness and never knew what it was he wanted to end, that it until Viper had finally demonstrated it with such honorable courtesy. It was because of his act and his role in this dream that Ricky finally realized what the truth had been. It was indeed love and happiness but not the type you share with one person, but share with close people as the ties become stronger. Bonding together to weave a unique image that woupd be unatainable, becoming part of each other as a family. This was the happiness he sought to find, the curse to break in this despicable darkness. He longed for the close ties he once had.

As the revelation had now overwhelmed him completion soon followed, a tear that he never felt coming drifted out of his eye and down his cheek. He could feel himself starting to awaken now as reality no doubt called him back now, but before allowing himself to slip away he looked to Gin to witness her reaction.

Night of the 58th of Fall 512 AV

Fear coursed through her as she saw him reaching for the dagger. What would he do? She saw his face go completely emotionless and she got even more scared, but she made sure it did not show on her face. She was willing to do most anything he asked of her.

So when he put the dagger to Ricky's neck it relieved her slightly... because he was not going to do it. His talking, saying he forgave Ricky some how. Which confused her slightly. But what happened next confused her more.

He faced her and grabbed her hand, holding her to the dagger with his hand. She was confused, he was pointing the dagger... at.. his chest... The look of realization crashed upon her face, and she wanted to stop him, so badly, it was writen all over her face.. But the dream wouldn't let her. She put her free hand on his cheek as her lips quivered. Tears formed as he forced her to plunge the dagger into his chest. She felt sick, but she had to be fast she had to tell him before he left.

When he collapsed, she collapsed with him, and in this moment she said it, "I love you, don't go.." She had removed her hand from the dagger and had put it on his other cheek. She felt his weight come down on her, and she let it happen. She did not care if blood got on her... She wanted him to know that she was there looking at him and crying till the very last minute. And with a light, the dagger vanished, and so did he.

She stared at the spot where he'd just been. She felt an emptiness in her heart almost worse than when she watched her parents die in front of her. The action she had just been made to do, made her feel as if she had been stampeeded upon. And then she couldn't take it anymore. She railed. She cried, screaming, bending at her waist, almost planting her face into the sand. How could she fix this? Was there no way to show Viper that he could trust her again? She wanted what just happened to not have happened. She have nightmares about this nightmare, and she knew she wasn't going to be able to stop them. She cried louder, her wails, probably could be heard for miles if there was anyone else in the dream to hear her. She was lost, stuck, she looked at her hands shaking and still wailing. She had killed, her Viper.

It was something that he couldn't react to, something he never had any experience with. As Gin collapsed to the ground and wept for her fallen love the dream had taken a realistic twist upon them, the possibility Ricky made changed upon them as clearly Viper took matters into his own hands. What was it he had to figure out on his own? Was it the way Gin would watch and react? Or was it more personal for the man? There was no way for Ricky to know anything, he only felt something deeper about himself. Something deeper than anything he felt before.

He wanted to help Gin and comfort her as she wept but his mind wouldn't allow it, the dream had become an unstable place that now willed for them to wake up. He tried moving his body but couldn't as the sand and rocks around him cracked all around, a light that was similiar to what Viper became shone through. As the world they were in now started to collapse he wanted to warn Gin, but there was little time at this point. Whether she was seeing the samething Ricky was or not it was already too late. The dream was now ending.

The beach collapsed around Ricky as he fell through into a boundless realm of light, he reached out into the open thickness screaming for Gin as he became lost. The abundance of the element too much for him to take in he closed his eyes, shielding them with his arms as his mind began to feel the reality grasp upon him once more. He jolted awake covered in a cold sweat as he looked to the room of the inn around him, breathing wildly as his thoughts began to assess what had just happened. Already the dream felt like a faint memory to Ricky, and even though he was now loosing it to the deep reaches of his mind there were several images he could vividly remember. Gin when they played together for a chime, Viper and the moment he held the dagger close to Ricky's neck, and the event of Viper's own death as Gin was there first hand. These images were vivid in his mind but couldn't play out, only creating a storyline as to what he had dreamed of.

Yet the knowledge he felt, the lesson he learned as he took it to heart. He wished for the same love Viper had. He wished to share the same happiness with plenty of others. This being the revelation Ricky had learned, the purpose he felt was this dream, he accepted it gratefully. He knew the odds of them meeting again were much more slim now, but that was only if their chavi would connect once more.

Convinced that what he dreamt wasn't just a simple dream he felt it time to think on his goals. What Ricky had learned was an important thing about himself, one that he would rather hold onto then let slip away.
