~ Imprisoning me
All that I see… ~
To the bemused mind, everything was too still and far too quiet. There was no wind and the little noise that the motley group did make seemed to be choked off as though they were in the soundless void in space. That alone kept their conversations to a minimum, and when they did talk words were edged with pain and anger and at times even jealousy. For the time being they were stuck in the home of Taitsu-kun, but that was to be expected. They had no destination in mind, and no clue as to what they were fighting in the first place. So, all they did was wait, and that fact alone drove them all insane.
Eyes of shimmering emerald glittered slightly in melancholy as they searched the mountainous area in hopes of seeing some movement. Yet there was none to be found. It disheartened her greatly and finally she was forced to look away as her eyes averted to the ground. Umiyame hadn't remembered the Universe of the Four Gods looking so… dead.
It's sad… isn't it?
"What?"
This lifeless thing… it's sad… yet so satisfying…
"…." Umiyame blinked at the deep yet soft voice as it drifted through the depths of her thoughts. It was as though the person was right next to her speaking loud enough for all to hear and yet when she'd searched she found no one. "Who are you?"
Don't you hate it? I can feel your thoughts and they betray you. You have no happy memories here… why protect it?
Frowning deeply at this, the brunette shook her head firmly in hopes of shaking such thoughts, but the more she tried, the more they thickened within her train of thought. "What right have you to accuse me of such things?"
It hurts doesn't it? Thinking of what happened to you before… How you were defiled and tortured for years by the very people your loved one protects… Is he worthy? Are they worthy of you?
Unbidden tears began to well in her eyes as she gritted her teeth forbidding them the chance to fall as she snapped them closed quickly. "That was then… things have changed…"
Have they? Go to Kutou and see for yourself sweet child. They're just as vile now as they always were… Even when they know this world is falling to ruin… Such hopeless creatures humans are. Greed, lust, power… They rule they're lives. Dare you think any of that could change?
"I think nothing… Who am I to judge the worthiness of a person?"
One who knows their wickedness first hand? One whose suffered that which proves them dirty and vile? Surely you realize that much… I know your pain, so why must you suffer more?
Opening her mouth to answer, a sudden shout broke her thoughts and the fog that seemed to have enveloped her mind prohibiting her from escaping the grasp of something that both felt warm and cold all at once. Turning her head slowly, empty eyes of jade rested upon the two figures glaring one another down not quite able to focus on either. "Listen you Seiryuu trash…I'm sick of your impertinence."
Growling in response to what sounded like Tomite's voice, the other held a fist up between them angrily as he hissed through clenched teeth. "Oh really? Keep it to yourself you purple haired freak… I have just as much right to be here as you do! The only reason you're so ticked is because as long as I'm here Umiyame isn't going to notice you." There was a smug smile that touched Suboshi's face as the Genbu seishi nearly growled in response.
"Will you two please stop…" Hikitsu stepped between them shaking his head slowly before sending a sharp look in either's direction. "I know this is all trying, but we can't collapse and fight one another. We have more important things to focus on…"
"He's right Suboshi… let it go…" The younger twin blinked as his indigo blue orbs rose to meet those of gentle maroon as Soi smiled weakly. "It seems we're all getting stir crazy… but fighting won't help…"
Umiyame blinked a few times in thought as she reflected back to the conversation she'd just had. For some reason, just the short moments of those accusing words seemed to have sapped her of what energy she had once possessed sending her spiraling into self-doubt. Was she the only one that heard it? Of course… for those words were pointed directly at her. How did that smooth female voice know? How was it possible that anyone knew the pain she suffered at the hands of Kutou soldiers?
Shaking her head quickly, her eyes suddenly found the pale countenance of the magenta haired woman as she looked away to the horizon thinking no one could see her. Yes, it seemed that even though her conversation with that woman was just between them, that Soi must have had a round as well. She could have been wrong though. It was never wise to make an assumption, but the emptiness and pain that suddenly flashed through Soi's eyes only made her wonder.
"Umiyame?" Jumping slightly, she then looked up quickly only to meet a look of concern within the eyes of the older twin matched only by an equally concerned look within Uruki's as well. "Is something the matter? You look pale…"
"I'm fine…" The answer was quick, and to her amazement sharp and cold much like her old self from years long past. Looking away quickly, she closed her eyes slowly and took a deep breath attempting to calm the tight feeling that seemed to throb in her chest. "Gomen ne… I'm just… not well."
For a moment, Uruki had narrowed her eyes, but as soon as Umiyame apologized her eyes softened once more. It was habit to react in such a way where her cousin was concerned, for that sharp tongue was all too familiar to her. It had brought down a good deal of the Genbu Seishi's morale unintentionally. "Maybe you should rest."
"No… Not now… demo, arigauto." Slowly standing to her feet, she gave the duo a soft reassuring smile before pushing past them and heading for the small palace like home of Taitsu-kun. Maybe she should talk to the creator, it may help her figure out what was haunting her and why she felt as though the world was caving in upon her like a black hole in the midst of the soundless void.
~*~
"Where did they go?!" Crying out angrily, the pink haired Genbu warrior looked with wide blue eyes to her companions as they all gaped at the open book on the floor. Miaka sat with tears streaming down her cheeks as she timidly reached for the book with trembling hands while Taka only gaped silently on the other side of the table.
"They… they were sucked in…" Miaka's shaking voice barely left her pale lips as her hands finally closed around the binding and slowly lifted the object into her lap. Turning pages slowly at first, the pace suddenly became frantic as she turned even faster until the pages began to turn themselves. Pulling her hand away quickly, sudden letters began to appear in large print over a two-page spread that made the trio gasp in sudden fear.
The darkness has come to take away everything you love. Where truth is twisted and hearts are broken, you will find the ones you love. And you cannot save them…
Taka quickly yanked the book from her hands and glared at it as his deep ink blue eyes narrowed. "What happened? What did you do with them!" The former seishi's voice quaked only slightly as the letters erased and a new line appeared on the freshly blank pages.
Nothing has been done… yet.
Crying out in fear, Miaka quickly wrapped her arms about Taka's arm closing her eyes tightly. "Does this mean that all of the ones the book reacted to are now in the book again? But why doesn't it show up on the pages?"
"I… I don't know…" Taka could only tremble as he shook his head slowly sending a fall of deep blue hair over his eyes. "This isn't making sense…"
Growling lightly under her breath, Iname quickly pulled the book away from Miaka and Taka glaring at the blank pages angrily. "Listen here you unnerving piece of tree bark! Tell me where you took Umiyame-san and that bishie! RIGHT THIS INSTANT!" For a long moment silence prevailed and no response came, but soon the black letters emerged within the sea of white in a slow foreboding manner.
Be careful what you say… You've been saved the pain for now, why beg for it sooner? Sit back and watch as everything fades away…
As the last period touched the white surface, the whole room swirled in black mist and the book lifted up from Chu's hands only to explode into the four colors of light then fall to the ground with a loud thud. All went silent for a moment as normalcy finally returned to the small university library room, but as soon as they moved toward the book it snapped open and all of the pages fanned through until it hit the beginning with a loud crack. All of the pages were blank now, and not a single chapter remained.
For your entertainment… I will start a new chapter to a story that will tell the ending to such a pointless world. From now on no priestesses will journey here again to see the horrors of this universe and that which it created. All will cease by the end of this story… And I will show you how I win my triumph, for what is a book without dramatic irony? You will know my plans because no one else will enter this world. And you will watch each one die…
With those words, written primly across the first page, a line was then skipped as they story began. The three pulled in closer as a soft sob escaped Miaka's throat as she shook her head in fear for her friends. Taka only hugged her as he watched the girl with pink hair slowly pick up the book and read the almost sarcastic reverent words as they appeared. "Warriors serving the four gods have once more been called, but for a different reason. They have been called forth to die fighting for something that doesn't even deserve such devotion. But can they truly win when the gods themselves have been silenced?"
Before anyone could comment, the door opened as Yui, Keisuke, and Tetsuya walked in giving the others a puzzled look. "Hey, what's going on guys?" Keisuke blinked a few times as a look of worry crossed his face at the sight of tears on his little sister's face. "What happened?"
But no one could speak, not even the ever-bold Iname who could only point to the slowly appearing symbols of kanji on the pristine white pages. Yui was the first to speak as her eyes flew over the page swiftly taking in the words as her green eyes widened. "They've… they've been taken away…" A deafening silence fell over the room as the sandy blonde dropped her eyes to the floor sadly.
~*~
"Taitsu-kun?" Umiyame stepped silently into the large room littered with Romanesque pillars that normally held the creator as she watched over the universe of the four gods. Looking about with wide eyes of shadowed green, she felt her skin crawl as an unseen breeze of cold air washed over her almost frail like form. Shoulders drooping slightly, her head then dipped as well dropping long bangs of chestnut into her saddened eyes. Maybe she'd been wrong about this…
"What is it Umiyame…?" Snapping to attention once more, the warrior gave the old woman a poised glance that seemed almost wild for a single moment then calmed into the normal placid sea of green. "Is something troubling you?"
Looking to the only door exiting the room, she then finally looked back to the withered figure as she slowly hovered closer to her motionless form. "I'm…" Pausing a long moment, she started to question what she'd originally wanted to say. It wouldn't seem so good if she proclaimed that she'd been hearing voices… "Could you tell me more about what's happening?"
Giving the young warrior a careful look, Taitsu-kun merely nodded before floating in the direction of her large mirror. Waving a small gnarled hand before it's silvery surface, the reflections it held began to ripple then fade into a scene of what seemed to be the country of Konan. Stepping closer, she watched with wide eyes, as people in countless scenes would suddenly drop screaming in pain then turn to stone in an instant. "It seems our world is slowly being frozen as though time is stopping. Not only in Konan, but people in the other countries are facing this fate as well. When it first started to occur people only petrified once every week or so but lately… it's been happening at least one a day."
Eyes of green locked on the petrified form as they shimmered with a layer of moisture as they drank in the look of agony on the person's face. No one deserved this. No one deserved to have their life swiftly taken from them in a way worse than even death itself. Shaking her head slowly, she then looked away in order to look at the solemn woman floating beside her. "Is this all that's happening?"
"Such a critical mind… I'd almost question your heart for this in itself is far more horrifying than any other problem that has arisen…" Watching Umiyame look away quickly with a flinch, Taitsu-kun merely shook her head before nodding to the mirror causing it to shimmer and change to a seen within the bounds of Hokkan. There the palace lay crumbled in places as a great chasm trailed through the center of the city.
"Wh-what happened?!"
"Great earth quakes hit Hokkan just this past week before you arrived… Just as Hurricanes and Tornadoes tore through the country guarded by Byakko. Suzaku's land of Konan has undergone a series of fires that can't be controlled where the country of Seiryuu has dealt with countless flooding." Looking for the first time with tired eyes upon the mirror, Taitsu-kun then shook her head causing the vision to vanish. "Natural disaster and supernatural disaster has been plague upon us, and I know not how this came to be."
Dropping her eyes to the stone floor, Umiyame clenched her teeth together before closing her eyes reveling in the darkness that resided behind closed lids. It was horrible. The pain, terror and chaos that was running it's course over her former home was boundless, yet something tickled the back of her mind and kept her from feeling too horrified at the news she'd now received. It wasn't the same calm hatred she'd known when she was in Hokkan, rather a soft voice that told her that just maybe this world was getting what it deserved. Though, even then she couldn't denounce the other voice that told her that there were still innocent people, and they were suffering unjustly.
"Why do you not tell me what is troubling you Umiyame? I see it in your every move that you want to tell me something. Wasn't that why you sought me out?" For a moment, she began to tremble then eyes of fierce green snapped up in order to bear down at the woman with white hair.
"You sound so self righteous, as though you know everything! But you don't! You don't even know why this is happening…" Smirking in a manner that could almost be called evil, Umiyame then continued in a voice edged in a sound that was not her own. For some reason, everything became blurry and nothing she said or did in that moment was her own any longer. "Old fool… the people deserve everything that's coming to them. This world… this hateful and vile place… it will shrivel up and die taking you along with it." As the last statement escaped her lips, Umiyame suddenly forced her hands to lace through her hair, making fist in the short strands as she cried out in pain. Falling to the floor in a heap, she soon drifted into darkness where only a soft mellow voice fringed with hate kept her company.
"Umiyame!" Crying out in both surprise and worry, the old creator hovered closed to the unconscious yet still trembling form of the Genbu seishi. Giving her body a once over, her old eyes soon fell closed as her thoughts clouded with questions. Who could have penetrated someone with such a strong mind? Umiyame wasn't weak, she was known for her strength, but she knew, even if those words were somewhere within her heart, the seishi would never have uttered them. Much less truly believe the words that had been spoken. "Nyan-nyan…" At her soft call, a small cat like girl appeared and beamed at the old woman as she awaited her orders. "Take Umiyame to her room, she's very tired… and… keep an eye on her for me…"
~*~
"I want to see Hokkan…" Deep amethyst hair spilled forth over iridescent green as Tomite bowed his head sadly. "I want to know if everything is ok. I don't like it here. It's… like a false haven that is hiding the chaos outside."
"We're safe here Tomite… We shouldn't venture out till we know what we're up against…" The man with platinum hair gave his companion a patient look as he then turned his head away in order to watch as Tasuki and Nuriko waved their fists at one another in an argument.
"How will we know what we're up against if we sit around staring at each other?!" Snarling the comment out at his friend, the green-eyed boy then jumped to his feet and marched away from Hikitsu in a flurry of anger. The older let out a soft sigh as he watched the younger storm away contemplating his words.
For once the eager seishi was correct about his feelings, and Hikitsu could not deny it. Walking slowly over to where Hotohori and Chichiri sat, he then smiled at them amiably giving a slight nod of recognition before speaking. "Could I have a word with you two?"
Hotohori blinked at first before giving the older man an elegant smile as well as a regal nod in means to encourage whatever Hikitsu had to say. "But of course my friend. What is it that you need to speak with us about?"
At this, Chichiri could be heard snickering under his breath as well as muttering something about former emperors before giving the platinum blonde a nod as well. "Sure thing no da! What's on your mind?"
"It's come to my attention that staying here is getting us no where… So, I think it's time that some of us, or maybe even all of us went out to at least scout out what is really going on. We'll learn nothing here where we're sheltered by the creator's power…" The two took in his words nodding slowly as Hikitsu trailed off. "What do you think? I'd much rather have a second opinion…"
"I understand fully what you are saying and totally agree. But to have all of us go is risky… Should something happen, we need to have some back up." Hotohori looked thoughtful as he rested his chin in one hand and tapped his cheek softly with his index finger.
"Great idea Hikitsu! Now I know why they chose you to guard the Shinzaho, no da!" Giving the blonde a quick smile, Chichiri then jumped to his feet and turned to Hotohori. "Your idea is with merit as well Hotohori, so we should chose a party quickly, no da!"
The two nodded to the monk slowly before sinking deep into thought once more. After a long moment, Hotohori spoke up once again looking to Hikitsu with a soft smile. "I'll go, but you should stay Hikitsu. We need you to strategize our moves. I can tell a great mind when I see one. Chichiri, would you mind accompanying me?"
"Mochiron! I wouldn't miss it, no da!" Turning his head to glance at the others out in the small courtyard, his eyes first fell on the arguing Tasuki and Nuriko bringing about a nervous look to his normally smiling face. "I think we'll leave them here, no da…"
Hikitsu could only follow the gaze as his expression also changed as he felt the perspiration build on his forehead. "Good thinking… Take Tomite with you though… he's aching to get out of here and to keep him cooped up here isn't a good idea. Uruki would be a big help as well…"
Nodding in agreement, Hotohori then drew his eyes to the twins as they sat beneath a tree talking to one another softly while Suboshi merely frowned constantly as Amiboshi continued to smile. "We'll take Amiboshi along as well… it will be good to take at least one of each seishi to keep the balance."
"Then that leaves Byakko… How about Subaru? She has healing power and that could help out a great deal…" Hikitsu glanced up at the former emperor that seemed to be quite pleased with this idea as he nodded. "Then it's settled… when do you wish to set out?"
"Maybe tonight or in the morning…" Hotohori mused thoughtfully then finally gave a sharp nod and spoke with a stern voice. "Tonight most definitely… this waiting is playing havoc on me…"
Laughing softly at this, Chichiri merely shook his head before smiling at the two of them. "Sounds good to me! I miss my days on the road! The sooner we leave the better, no da!"

Eyes of blackened green opened slowly in order to glance lazily about the dimly lit room before once more falling closed. A set look of anger edged in sadness etched over fine porcelain features creased as her frail body was forced into a sitting position. One trembling hand slowly slipped over the hunter satin like fabric of her shirt before gripping just above the elbow as a wave of nausea washed through her. Leaning forward in a dry heave, Umiyame had to cough as she struggled to regain her composure. The light was slowly returning to her eyes as they opened once more through the hazed feeling in her mind.
It felt nearly like the sensation of she could only call a hangover yet, she couldn't remember when she'd ever touched alcohol in her life. Something felt strange though, like just maybe she'd done something she shouldn't have though wasn't truly sure of what that might be. Thinking carefully she could remember hearing a voice, even responding to it, but when she'd left to talk to the creator everything went black. Now, here she was in her room waking up with a headache from hell.
"Umiyame?" Looking up sharply, her eyes were met by that of iridescent green shaded with concern as he timidly moved to take a seat on the bed beside her. "Daijoubu? Taitsu-kun said I'd find you here… but it's not like you to be out cold in your room in the middle of the day…"
Idly reaching out, one hand pushed aside the deep amethyst bangs from his eyes before a small smile touched her lips in an attempt to calm his fears. "Daijoubu yo… There's nothing to worry about, I think I just passed out and someone must have put me to bed. I haven't been sleeping well with so much on my mind. Demo… arigauto… for your concern."
Tomite shifted slightly as his eyes gave a disbelieving gaze. Finally giving a soft sigh his head provided her with a curt nod and a serious expression when his green eyes rose once more to meet her own. "We're sending out a party to scout out what's going on and see what we can find… I was asked to go along. I… I just wanted to tell you before we left. We'll be leaving after dinner."
Slowly nodding her head to this, she then drew her attention to the slowly darkening window that overlooked the quiet mountain rage. "I understand… Who will be going?" Not looking back to him, she let her shoulders slump slightly at the knowledge of knowing she wasn't one of them and that more time would be spent in idle here.
"Hotohori-san, Chichiri-san, Subaru-san, Amiboshi-san, and Uruki-chan. Actually… I think Nuriko-san has weaseled his way into going as well…" Giving a slight frown at this thought, he then shrugged his shoulders before smiling at her again. "At least you can rest easy knowing that at least SOMETHING is being done about this whole situation… I've noticed you haven't been looking very healthy lately…"
Shaking her head in defiance her eyes then grew sharp as they quickly turned in his direction. "I'm fine I told you… Must you keep doting over me? It's rather ridiculous… I'm just as capable of taking care of myself as everyone else…" Clenching her teeth together as she cut off her statement, her head then bowed toward her lap causing a fall of long uneven bangs to fall into her eyes. "Gomen ne… I… I think you're right… Something is wrong…" Bracing one hand against her forehead, her eyelids slid closed. Something wasn't quite right all of a sudden and she didn't understand. It was almost like the old habits of the past were suddenly sinking in taking hold and taking control.
Giving a slightly surprised gape, the amethyst haired teen finally blinked before taking on a solemn look as he nodded in agreement. It had been so very long since she'd used such a tone of voice with him and the resurfacing for some reason put him on edge. "Aa… We'll hurry back and send for you guys if things go wrong… Please… Rest."
With that said, the young Genbu seishi then stood to his feet and silently slipped from the room. Upon the click of the door being closed, Umiyame then lifted her gaze to it with an evil grin tainting her pale lips. "Things will go wrong… I guarantee that…" A soft detached laugh then slipped from her throat and filled the quiet room in a way that wasn't her own.
~*~
All your kindness… Do you ever wonder if it was worth it?
"What?" Looking up sharply, dark blonde hair slipped into eyes of dark blue indigo in response to the quick movement. Turning his head to the side to gaze at his twin, the younger merely blinked as his blue eyes widened almost blankly.
"I didn't say anything…" Suboshi arched a brow slowly at his older twin then smirked as he leaned in closer to whisper in Amiboshi's ear. "Tell me you aren't hearing things now are you Aniki?"
Giving Suboshi a wry look, the older merely shook his head and sighed as he replaced his flute to his slightly parted lips. Once more closing his eyes, he allowed a gentle breath to enter the instrument causing a soft note to come forth from it's hollowed depths in the beginnings of a melody.
Do you ever think about the things you had to give up in order to make everyone else happy? You didn't even get to be happy in your new life…
Hitting an off key note, the blonde opened his eyes in annoyance as he lowered the instrument to his lap. At first he was going to yell at his twin, but when his eyes reached him, Suboshi had already wandered off and started an argument with Tasuki. Arching a brow slowly with a bemused look, he then closed his eyes again as his brow furrowed. "I must be crazy…"
Far from it…
"Nani???" Eyes flying open once more, the only thing that saved him from falling backwards was the tree he sat beneath. Breathing in deeply, he wildly searched the area for the voice that seemed to echo in his head. That is, till he realized it was exactly that. Calming himself for a moment, he then spoke very softly hoping that no one would see or hear him at the risk of them questioning his sanity. "Who are you?"
Some one that understands… I know your pain and loss… What it's like to love someone then give them up for the good of others. You were even born to protect a country that repulsed and destroyed your family for no reason… You even had to lose the one thing you cared for most at the time…
"How do you know this?" They were words of truth he couldn't deny, but anyone who knew the history of Kutou could have guessed what many families had to undergo. "Why should I listen to you?"
You don't have to… but you will. First you sacrifice your life in order to bring your brother happiness… then all he does is torment others and bring about despair… Was that what you wanted? Yet still you forgave… and let your own body die in order to let your brother save the one he loved… Why did you suffer so much pain? Was it truly worth it?
"Shut up! I don't have to listen to this…" Trembling words barely went past his shaking lips as his head shook in denial. "You have no right to make such accusations!"
Truly convincing… But you know I'm right…
"Even if you are…" Barely a whisper, the words fell from his lips in defeat as his quaking hands clung to the flute they held. "Even so… it was my choice…"
Wouldn't you like to know what it feels like… to feel important?
"To feel… important…"
No longer the sacrifice…
Tears began to poor down his cheeks as he violently shook his head wishing and hoping that the words did not influence him, but in the end knowing that they had. "You're wrong! You're… wrong…"
~*~
"Is everyone ready to go, no da?" Yelling excitedly over the other's conversations, Chichiri merely beamed as he shook his staff in the air causing the rings to clank together lightly. Sighing a bit in exasperation, he crossed his arms over his chest as the noise only grew as sporadic arguments broke out taking the volume a notch higher than before. "This is useless…"
"Isn't it always Chichiri-san?" Tomite laughed softly as he smiled at the blue haired monk almost apologetically.
"It's embarrassing…" Hikitsu could only groan as Soi nodded in agreement at his side. "I suppose unity in this group is going to be a hard thing to achieve…"
In the back of the group, Umiyame stood silently arms crossed over her chest and eyes closed. Something still bothered her, and now the sudden gaps in her memory were starting to nag at the back of her mind. At the gentle feel of a hand on her shoulder, her eyes opened only to meet with the set of dark sapphire orbs shadowed by a tousled curtain of dark blonde. There was a touch of redness staining them and instantly she could tell he'd been crying. "Kou-kun… Doushitano?"
Smiling weakly in reply, he merely shook his head. "And here I came to ask you what was bothering you… I should have known you'd beat me to it…" The soft tenor drifted off slowly as his eyes then fell to the ground beneath their feet.
"You can't always expect to be the strong one…"
"That can go both ways you know…"
"Why is there always a sacrifice?" At this the older twin didn't reply. Instead his eyes widened to the brim as he looked at her in fear. Quickly looking away, she could tell he was trying desperately to hide his face from her at all costs. "Gomen ne… I didn't mean…"
"There's something not right here… not at all…" The shaking voice that reached her ears caused her to tremble as well even though she found her self already nodding in agreement. "Have you ever wondered Siân-chan… if this isn't a fitting punishment?"
Looking up with a wild look, she could only gape at the older twin before whispering words she hadn't expected to hear herself say. "I've… thought it…"
"Sadly… so have I…" Giving her a melancholic smile, Amiboshi then took a deep breath as he looked to his brother who easily joined in on the many brooding arguments already taking place. "Take care of him for me… Onegai?"
Smiling sadly, she nodded once before speaking in a soft voice. "Mochiron… just promise you'll do the same for Uruki-chan…" Amiboshi only nodded in answer as their eyes fell with weariness on their comrades. "This… is going to be a disaster…"
"I have that feeling to." Amiboshi sighed softly at the thought and slowly shook his head before looking up at the sky above them. There was still no breeze yet he felt as though he were standing in the midst of an ice storm. But then again, it could also be the icy thoughts that seemed to float in the back of his head like a veil of smoke that slowly choked his own train of thought out of existence.
