8 A dream of dying in the snowfall

Inside the Black tide forest there were a lot of dangerous and blood thirsty magical beast that could kill you at any moment but now the is something more dangerous and it was a young girl sitting on top of the head of a giant snake, what was surprising was that the all around her snow was falling.

The white snow around her only made her more beautiful, her snow white hair and white battle suit which complimented her curves made her even more beautiful, if Cloud was to see her he would recognize her as the girl he got the card from.

The girl sat crossed leg on the head of the big snake in deep meditation until there was a loud boom.

The sound of lightning striking the ground woke her up from her meditation and she look up like any one would do when looking for lightning but then she remembered that the sound came from her left.

The girl got up and jumped up to the top branch of a tree to get a better look and what she saw took her breath away, in the distance the forest was on fire and in the middle of the fire the was lightning.

.....

The sound of a thunderstorm is what Cloud remembered best about his first suicide attempt, when he came too he was surrounded by fire and the Black Panther was nowhere to be seen.

Cloud looked at the sea of flames and was shocked the he did not feel the heat, it took some time to realize that he did not feel anything because his body was numb and he could not move his body at all.

All that did not stop a small and proud smile from forming, with the fire Cloud knew that no magical beast will bother him so he decided to just rest there until he could move again.

Cloud was right about the magical beast not coming but he had attracted unwanted attention from the other participants, the other participants arrived one by one and saw the distraction in the area and at the middle of it all the was a the black sheep sleeping.

The near death experience had made Cloud more sensitive to his surroundings as soon as the other participants got close to him he knew but the was nothing he could do now, from the experience he just went through Cloud was even more cautious of the participants than the magical beast.

Cloud waited until all of them arrived close to him and he counted three of them from the distance from each other Cloud could tell that they were not working together and were even cautious of the each other's than him.

Without even opening his eyes Cloud said in a low voice "can I have some water"?

Well that did it because all of the participants surrounding Cloud walked out of the shadows.

They all looked at each other and one of them said to the others "look at the damage he caused, if we don't kill him now that he is at his weakest we may never get the chance again" from the silent of the other to Cloud could tell that they had the same idea.

Cloud listened to it all with his eyes closed and to his surprise he did not hear the whispers even as one of the participants was walking slowly towards he, than the participant stop and the was a long silent Cloud knew that something had changed that and he could not sense so he open his eyes for the first time since his suicide attempt and what greeted him was white and beautiful snow falling around and Cloud could not think of a better way to die.
