Total Consciousness

Chapter-1: The Killing ….

     Cana closed his eyes and loosely held his jaws shut. He concentrated for several long breaths, allowing his power to flicker about him in electric jolts. Waves of manic heat triple pulsed and spread out from him.

     A deep growl rumbled up from Cana’s closed jaws. He lowered his head, and his presence expanded and faded into the heavy darkness around him. Glowing ruby eyes opened and sparkled with an immense death glow, while the rest of his body blended in with the surrounding shadows.

     At the same time that Cana faded into the night’s darkness, all living creatures within a three-kilometer radius scattered from around them: birds, woodland beasts and even insects desperately sprinted or flapped away—horrified by the breathing shadows.

     Luz stretched his arms above his head and glided them down to his sides. All calm, all still. And, in quick movements, he flicked his hands forward three times and flipped pages only visible to himself. Several turns and he rose up onto his toes and pressed his index finger forward, and then he dragged it to the right. Gradually, more music emerged in the night and replaced the yet to be Mejia song.

     The space above the two travelers filled with a much deeper and anguished and desperate tune. Cana looked above his master’s head and grinned. It was a new song from the others. His ruby eyes glistened, and his phantom tongue lapped at the air with delight. Overwhelmed by such power, he looked at his master with awe.

     Luz sidestepped into a slow strut and whistled along with the new melody for several easy breaths. “People think the killing moon is a full moon,” he said, as he stared at the woman on the ground, five kilometers away.

     Cana expanded his shadow-form deeper into the night.

     “I disagree, jovencito,” said Luz. “Tsk, tsk, tsk … it’s a crescent moon with a smudge of copper red, on a dim lit night, filled with fear and hatred, and copious amounts of bloodlust and lust.”

     With the new song echoing stronger, Luz searched into each man, into each little thumping bunny man that surrounded the woman.

     “Same set up as before, jovencito,” said Luz. “Cover the rear and both flanks. No surprises while I walk in from the front. Anyone tries to leave without permission: chomp, chomp and bring them back.”

     Cana glided forward in his shadow form, eager to investigate the small group of four.

     Luz gazed at the crescent moon and breathed deep in. He exhaled slowly and let loose his grip upon the world. Filled with reflected hunger, he leaned back into a pleasant stride, whistling and singing along to, The Killing Moon.
