Warnings: Extreme Darkness and Violence. Seriously, lots of blood and dismemberment. Spoilers for Fate/Stay Heaven's Feel, and Fate/Hollow Ataraxia.
Dream Effect: A chilling emotionless state with a numb yet burning sense of pure, untainted rage
There was nothing but echoing black all around. Every single step the fully armored King of Knights took, the clanging echo of her footsteps resonated almost endlessly. It was strange; though it was complete darkness, she could still see herself.
After what seemed like an eternity there was finally another sound: the clang of heavier armor.
"It is most impressive that you still retain both your sanity and your form." The voice was eerily familiar, and yet void of any substance. It was as if it was the voice of one that was already dead.
Immediately, the cloaked and invisible Excalibur was in her hand. She was ready for battle, but she wasn't ready for what awaited her when she turned around to meet the owner of the voice.
"What's wrong? You look panicked."
There was a blood curdling scream of pain and blood splattered everywhere. Saber was thrown against the ground and cracked her skull. The one standing over her was like a marble, evil version of herself.
"Do not worry. You will not die." The sickening aura of her sword gave the already injured Knight a pulsing sense of nausea and dread.
"You will merely be asleep. The last speck of light within me." The dark clad knight was relentless; as if she wanted to strip every last inch of flesh off Saber's body. And for some reason, she couldn't fight back.
"Just let go. Let the darkness consume you. I promise, it will be easier."
The sickening rip of flesh and the shattering pop of bone echoed in her ears though she felt nothing. Her arm dropped to the ground with a heavy thud, and she could clearly see it was no long attached to her body.
"Now that you're in shock...it will be less painful. But I have to be sure you cannot fight back."
Saber's lips moved, but nothing came out. Her other arm was now in the hand of the frightening doll leering above her.
"Consider yourself fortunate for keeping your head."
[Her eyes shot open but she couldn't move. It felt like her arms were really missing, and she couldn't even scream. The Dreamberry at her side just kept broadcasting, as she couldn't move to turn it off]

But, that did get a twitch out of her, and she started breathing better]

Regardless, the Knight-King clenched her eyes shut, trying to force her arms to move]

That was not necessary [that growl will sound a little uncharacteristic]

Date: 2010-02-16 02:40 am (UTC)From:Uh, yes. I s-see that now. [No sudden movements, putting glass back on bedside table.] Hey, you can move!

Date: 2010-02-16 02:43 am (UTC)From:She lets go. The adrenaline rush is over and she falls back again. She's still in pain, but at least she's fully conscious again]
Forgive me, I overreacted.
