What's next?

The smallest ember can provide light in the darkness

Damien walked all over the soul society alone. Due to his relationship with Genryūsai he was treated as an honored guest and was still watched but from afar. Damien found himself at a cliff overlooking a large structure. Damien had never seen anything like that in his life and couldn't formulate the words to describe what he is looking at. Taking a seat and just looking in the distance he doesn't notice a visitor walk up and sit next to him. Damien falls onto his back to enjoy the day and look into the sky when he hits a soft(er) surface. He looks into the golden eyes of a beautiful woman. Blushing he begins to ask but she places a finger on his lip and points towards the sky. They both sit in silence as the wind blows and the day continues. "He talked about you alot. He felt you were important to him and he hated that he had to leave you. Genryūsai was a powerful man, he could move mountains with a nod and commanded respect of everyone around him. To hear him speak of someone greater than himself was.....unheard of. " She said while looking towards the horizon. Damien considers her words and goes to speak but once again is silenced. She then starts to stroke his hair and began to hum a familiar song. Damien couldn't place the location of the song so he tried listening intently. Eventually he fell asleep and ended up in a unique spot when he woke back up. He looked again to the sky but saw instead of bright brilliant light now darkened skies. The ground was scorched under his feet and he could feel heat tickling his skin. Around his a wildfire burned but it didn't hurt him in the slightest. The warmth he felt he remembered he felt this when he was with Roxanne and later Rachel. Damien smiled to himself while thinking of Rachel and out of the fire a younger woman was seen looking into the distance. Damien saw this and began walking towards her and the fire moved out of his way. Standing side by side the woman spoke "You know loss, you have felt the loss I have also felt. How do you go beyond it? How do you move on?" She asked without looking at Damien. While standing there the young woman asked Damien questions about virtually everything. Damien answered each question with full honesty and sincerity for he had nothing to hide. The young woman smiled to herself and looked at Damien "we will meet again, this is just our first date." she said holding his hand. Damien woke up in searing pain and when he looked down at the location of the injury he saw a perfect hand print inside his hand as if he was holding someone's hand. The pain was only for a split second and after that the burn hardened. Thinking of his conversation and looking for the golden eyed beauty who sat with him, he began his trek back to Genryūsai's burial site and the 1st Division's barracks.
