[] Talk
Standing before the monstrous form of Ireland's greatest Hero, you found your body locked up in fear. You could only stare as he moved past Rider waiting happily for him to come back while he kept his eyes on you. He could see you. Your eyes darted between him and his brutal spear and felt a chill run down your spine.
Death awaited you. You wouldn't even have time to think. You wouldn't even have time to blink. He was coming close and there was close to nothing you could do about it. It was the sort of primal fear that would have driven person insane.
You were scared. So scared that as his shadow loomed over you, you wanted to fall down and cry. Words died in your throat as the monstrous man stood before you, his indifferent gaze staring at you as if you were no better than a bug he saw.
Tears began to fill your eyes as your entire body screamed for you to move. Your survival instincts flaring for you to get away. But above all else why wasn't it activating...
Why wasn't the program inside you activating to get away from this spot now? Why wasn't your emotions being muted, why weren't you utilizing this body to escape with your life. Terror filled every fiber of your body as Cu Chulainn in his most twisted form lowered himself to look at you.
Shutting your eyes, tears slid down your cheeks. You could feel his hot breath hit your face before you slowly opened your eyes. He was looking straight into your soul.
"Ri... Rider..." You whimpered before Cu Chulainn lunged.
His crimson spear went past your head and stabbed into the ground. Blood left your face as you felt like you were going to have a stroke. You felt light headed...
"Tch," Cu Chulainn clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"Well? Did you get it, Cu-chan?" Medb asked as she trotted to her beloved's side.
"It's a familiar. Must be Chaldea's Caster," Cu Chulainn replied before turning away, "Deal with them."
"Aww. But I want to stay here with you!" Medb purred as she latched on to the monster's arm, "We don't normally get to be alone like this!"
"Whatever," The monster said as you stood rooted in the spot.
You stared at them before you reached out, "Rider... Ri-!"
.....
....
...
"Rider!" You cried out as you jerked awake.
"What?! Why?!" Medb jumped as she looked around in a panic.
It was morning and you were lying on one of the guest rooms of the Church. Tucked underneath your blanket, you were sweating hard as you shot up abruptly. The sudden movement messed with your blood flow and made you dizzy.
Rider was beside you in the same panicked state as you were before she calmed down with a glare. She grit her teeth and growled, "What the hell are you yelling about in this morning?!"
It was her. It was
your Rider.
Medb stared at you with an uncertain look before her eyes widened, "H-Hey, I didn't mean to yell! Don't cry!"
You started sniffling as hot tears slid down your cheeks before Medb started panicking some more. She got up to look for some tissues as you hiccuped while looking at her.
"Shh, shh! Shut up, Ruler's going to kill me if I made you cry!" Medb said as she tried to look through the drawers.
BANG
"I heard yelling!" Ruler said as she kicked down your door. Her eyes fell on you, "Miss Brie?"
Medb paled whiter than a sheet of paper. Ruler walked to your bedside and placed a hand on your shoulder. She took a handkerchief from her pocket and offered it to you.
Brush
[] Get up and hug Rider. Don't let go. It was scary.
[] Take Ruler's handkerchief and thank her. It's just a nightmare.
[] Shake it off. It's just a... Bad dream. You'll be fine. They don't need to worry.
