Chapter 337 - Comforting Her Within Dreams



Chapter 337 – Comforting Her Within Dreams

—–

"You're nothing without Chaos, huh?"

"A mere insect."

"Pathetic, you were so weak…"

"We could have killed you back then, but we were just playing around with you."

"Without Chaos, what are you?"

These were words nobody had ever told to her, but Abyss was having nightmares with her foes telling them to her.

More than her foes ever saying such things, it was her own insecurities that showed up now, and the how pathetic she felt of being so weak she couldn't fight against those foes without Chaos aid.

After having lived through a whole journey without him, she had been missing him more than anything in the world, but deep down, these insecurities projected themselves in an incredible dependence in the vampire dragon.

She loved him and dedicated her life to him, but somehow, deep down, she had begun to slowly develop on her own accord, and gained her own desires as well as loving him, perhaps without him at her side, Abyss had developed more as a person than she thought.

This strong self-dependence on him wasn't clear to her before, but now that things had escalated to this point, it felt very clear that she was very dependent on him, after having battled on her own for a while and realizing her own strength, and only to be completely ridiculed at the end… asking for Chaos to come…

It felt… like… it was really as if she wasn't someone strong by herself.

If she were to be stronger… nothing of this would had happened.

In this harsh world where the strong ruled the weak, this sad reality was the only truth.

And this truth hit her very hard, as something she had to quickly realize.

But it felt painful.

She felt… as if she was falling into an abyss of despair now.

Her name couldn't truly reflect who she truly was.

Drowning in self-hate, Abyss saw through her nightmare as they began to cut her down into pieces, as she began to die slowly, bit by bit…

There wasn't anything for her here, only her despair and pain…

However, within such a nightmare, a dim light suddenly emerged.

The dim light couldn't overpower the darkness and was quickly devoured.

But then it came back again.

The light tried to fly towards Abyss… but it was swallowed once more.

However, it emerged once more.

The light once more tried to reach Abyss… slowly, bit by bit… but it was once more swallowed by the darkness.

However, the light came back once more, even brighter than before.

And with each time it was devoured, it simply emerged once more, and continued to move towards Abyss.

Until finally, the light was so big it shone like a star in the middle of the night.

"What…?"

Abyss looked into this beautiful shining star, as it extended its light towards her…

"Mama… You can do it…"

"Eh? Mama?"

Abyss looked into this bright light.

It somehow called her mama?

But how? Who was it anyways?

It was… so strange.

It was certainly not Erebus, that voice… it felt like that of a toddler, a baby.

She touched the light more, as it shone brightly all across her body.

This powerful light suddenly gave her a strong feeling of warmth, as if something very little, but very bright, was covering her with its light.

And it made her feel so happy and soothed.

And then, from within this darkness around her, another small red light emerged, touching her other shoulder.

"Abyss… I am here for you… Don't worry."

It was Chaos' voice.

"C-Chaos?"

Chaos voice spoke to her as if he had somehow come inside her own dreams.

"I'll never leave your side… Don't feel bad because you lose. I will help you move forward…" said Chaos.

"Mama… Cheer up!" said the little light.

Abyss eyes began to flow with tears as she felt the warmth of her lover, and of this mysterious light.

"I am sorry for being so weak…" she cried.

"You're not weak. You're very strong… I will help you grow stronger…" said Chaos.

"Even as useless as I am?" she asked.

"You're not useless, you're the person I love." Said Chaos.

"…Chaos. …Are you coming back?" asked Abyss.

"Soon… I am going through some… complications. For now, wake up, don't drown yourself in these nightmares, Abyss, you're way better than this," said Chaos.

"Chaos… But… what is this light?" she wondered.

"This light… I don't know it either… It is mysterious." Said Chaos.

Not even Chaos knew the true identity behind the little light.

"Pa… papa!"

The little light flew around Chaos, calling him papa.

What was this light, really? Could it be something special? Someone… their child?

But there was no such thing yet… they had even yet to do… that.

So what could this be, exactly?

Chaos, however, couldn't find anything bad with the light, it seemed pure and innocent, and seemed to comfort Abyss by merely being at her side.

Perhaps this was all the fabrication of a dream… or maybe something else. But it didn't seemed to be malicious…

Chaos petted Abyss within her dreams and kissed her.

"I will coming soon, so wait for me…" said Chaos.

"Okay… I will." Said Abyss with a smile.

Chaos slowly faded away from the dream, as the tiny light flew towards Abyss chest.

FLASH!

And then she woke up.

"Ah! Eh? Huh… I am awake… That was all… just a dream… Sigh… Since when Chaos can go into dreams? T-This is new…" said Abyss.

Abyss sat down over her bed, as she touched her chest, she looked around, but the curious little light wasn't there anymore.

Nonetheless, it felt as if this little light was still with her, somehow…

Abyss looked into the ceiling as she sighed in relief, thinking about what to do now.

"I should go look for everyone else, they were wounded… Yuki, Boxxy, Rot… I wonder how they're doing…" she thought.

FLASH!

Suddenly, a mass of shadows materialized into Erebus in front of Abyss.

"You're finally awake…" he said.
