fukengaku's new s-jade skin

Fukengaku had a dream.

In that dream, the hidden mountain welcomed all outsiders, making the formerly peaceful land become a lively country that was well respected by all its neighboring countries. It became infamous for having the most majestic sight at the top of the mountain– a sea of clouds that floated just above the tip of the ground, giving the illusion that one had ascended to Takamagahara. 

Fukengaku knows that this is a dream. 

He knows that the clouds in the sky could never touch any land that belonged to this mountain, nor can any sight be as beautiful as the smile she gave him in every life that they had the chance to meet in. 

Fukengaku doesn’t want to dream. 

For it was too painful to have these sort of hopeful dreams that can never manifest into reality. He knows that the moment he wakes up, all that is waiting for him is a small village that needs his help and a mountain that has erased its existence from the world. 

Fukengaku wakes up from the dream. 

The cold bed under his hands and the tears that drip down his cheeks tell him so.

If only he never had to wake up from that beautiful dream.
