OOC: but uh, feel free to continue commenting...

IC:Dyrx creeps around the ship, evading guards trying to catch the elusive shadow. Off the coast of Haiti, xe dived into the water rather than try to get off at port.

Xe had to swim almost a mile inland to get to the island. When xe got there, xe was cold, wet, and tired ,and xe took refuge on a small hill along the coastline. Xe had a long, hard struggle to sleep, despite how tired xe was. Xe twisted and turned, trying desperately to get comfortable, but without avail. The sun fell and the night rose, but the humidity and heat stayed, hanging around dyrx lyke a blanket. sweat collected on xir, the ground was hard, the air uncomfortably stagnant. Finally, dyrx couldnt take it anymore and stood up to walk around. Xe wandered down a small forgotten dirt path through the jungle and forestry, wandering down it, in utter darkness. Xe finally came to the coastline, and xe stood there for a minute, before holding xir's breath and diving in. Dyrx closed xirs eyes and swam as hard as xe could to the bottom, touching the rocks and moss with xirs bare feet and legs, Almost smiling for some reason xe couldnt figure out, and then leaped towards the surface, kicking and paddling through the water.

IC: Dyrx burst from the water with a gasp, Staying in place for a moment, temporarily stunned by xirs thoughts.

Xe rubbed xirs face in xirs hands, suddenly tired over something just at the edge of xirs mind.

What is it? what is so wrong todae?

Dyrx sighed and looked up to the stars, filled with a feeling of loathing and anger, yet xe couldnt figure out why. Xe swam back to shore, grasping the coast and climbing up the hill, until xe collapsed in xirs chosen sleeping spot, safely hidden from other people. For a long minute, dyrx stared into the darkness, feeling as if something inside of xir was breaking. Until finally, xe closed xirs eyes and fell to sleep.

There was a flurry of dreams, some of them nonsense, most too quick to process, but it always returned to the same veiw; a dreary dark city, along with a single tower. Xe thought xe could see somebody in the tower, but wasnt sure. But then something changed, and a new dream appeared

Xe awoke on a battlefield of white and black squares, covering all the lands. In the distance skirmishes between unknown parties broke out, but where xe stood xe was alone, alone with the corpses of a hundred dead soldiers. Xe looked into the sky and saw a great burning scar across the sky, an inferno leading to some other place. And then xe heard a voice.

You are not here

This is not you. You are not here. You are asleep, asleep, asleep, asleep, asleep....

The voice echoed in xirs mind, a hollow, metallic, high-pitched painful sound which cause xir to want to cover xirs ears. Xe fell on xirs knees and stared into the blood of the fallen, seeing xir's reflection... But something was off. Xe looked deep into xirs own eyes, but did not see xirs own eyes. They were a strangers eyes, yellow and green, not grey. And those eyes were not lost or filled with terror, but rather with a reckless fury.

Dyrx bolted up in xirs sleep, gasping for air all of a sudden. Xe took a minute to calm down, and then collapsed on xirs back. Xe stood up and started to walk around, making sure all of xirs equipment was in order, harvesting little material scraps for various purposes, but in xirs mind eye, xe still saw a green and yellow eye, staring into xirs soul...
