Flashback: space
Thaidakar rounded the corner in the large, white hallway. Electric lights guided the way. He wore a militaristic, black and white uniform. A pattern moved softly on his left sleeve, buzzing. He smiled, Lerya would be in her room, waiting for him.
"I just saw something move, a shadow," said Glyph softly in his odd accent. He was from Roshar. "It may have been Shadow, but... it's hard to tell."
"it probably was just Shadow," said Thaidakar, adjusting his glasses. He hoped it was just Shadow. It could have been... the thing. But no, it couldn't be. He'd left the thing behind back in...
No, he had to leave that behind, he was a new person now. He had to leave that behind.
Glyph buzzed again, "in all our three thousand years together, you haven't been nearly as nervous as you've been in our years in this realm."
Thaidakar rolled his eyes, not responding. He rounded another corner, passing a squad of uniformed guards.
"You should have worn a suit like I told you," said Glyph accusingly.
"Fine." Thaidakar moved his fingers across his uniform; an illusion covered it, making it seem as if he wore a dark blue suit with a black tie. "You happy now? Good. Just don't give me anymore lectures tonight."
"Alright, boss man." said Glyph happily, buzzing softly.
Thaidakar stopped by a metal door and rapped loudly on it.
A woman in her early thirties answered the door. She wore a tight, red uniform with a gold insignia that showed that she was a commander on the ship. Her hair was frazzled and eyes playful. She grinned, "hey, Thaid'. I thought you were coming back in another week!"
"Well," he smiled, "it took faster than I thought. The-" he was cut off as Lerya kissed him, giving him a short hug. He smiled, but it was short lived as he felt something approach from behind. A shadow with red eyes and a dark expression. Glyph's pattern moved faster and faster, "Thaidakar!"
Thaidakar pulled out of the kiss and cursed, Lerya looked confused. The shadow looked like... no. No. No. He couldn't relive those memories. The shadow smiled softly as its features seemed to become clearer. "What is this, Thaid'?" Asked Lerya, hand on a side pistol.
"A nightmare..." whispered Thaidakar. "I thought..."
The shadow stepped forward and whispered. That voice... no... "You are mine, Thaidakar. You have always been mine..."
"No..." Thaidakar summoned his Glyph-blade. It fell into his hand, glitching occasionally. It gleamed darkly; mixed with his soulless powers and radiant powers, the blade was powerful. "Get out of my life!" he yelled suddenly.
The shadow held its place. "Destiny always arrives on time, my friend..." It turned into vapor and seemed to hit Thaidakar in the mouth.
Thaidakar's vision flashed red and he cursed. His muscles moved by themselves, stabbing Lerya in the heart with his sword. Thaidakar paled, "Lerya..." the words wouldn't leave his mouth, however.
Lerya looked at him, stunned as she fell to the floor, blood leaking from her body. "Th-Thaidakar..."
Thaidakar regained his control and he stood, paralyzed. "Lerya... Lerya. COME BACK TO ME!" Red energy seemed to flow around him, in the hallways. The ship seemed to quake, lights flashing, people screaming. "Come back..." he whispered, falling to his knees and cradling the body.
Glyph didn't say anything, he was back in pattern form on the floor. The very universe seemed to implode on itself. Thaidakar's ears seemed to explode with screams as his body seemed to burn slightly. He... He was destroying everything. He gripped Lerya's body as it started to turn to ashes. His tears evaporated as he made them, the ship being destroyed. Glyph whispered, "oh, Thaidakar..."
Thaidakar clutched what was left of Lerya's body and whispered, "I'll see... I'll see you across the bend... my love... oh my love... I'll see you around the corner... I'll see you someday again..." The air rippled and Thaidakar disappeared suddenly. He screamed. And, suddenly, he was somewhere else as the dimension he'd been in was turned to ashes and void.
