Adrift (1/3)
Blackness. She felt it intertwine and consume her soul, it was a sensation she would not soon forget. For a split, disjointing second, she felt an immense affliction as she came to. Any sensation she felt was met with a sharp pain, splitting through her forehead and into the back of her skull. An intense pounding, one that matched the beat of her heartbeat. Unable to think, Caira winced with pain, but through an open eye she recognized darkness. Her neck jolted suddenly as she inhaled a hesitant breath that reminded her craving lungs of the sensation and fulfillment of air. She drew in a heavy breath and found that she was surrounded by infinite nothingness, there was still clearly air to stretch her lungs, as she had ascertained. The female continued to regain her composure and realized her body was horizontal, yet, gravity did not protest to weigh or orbit any surface or ground. How did I get here?
Any attempt to excogitate how she had appeared in her present state was denied by a sort of blockage in her mind, and the pain increased as she attempted to recall the events. Perhaps a polar form of instillation derailed her memory. A lifetime was not something someone soon forgot, and hers had been replaced with an acute headache, she was definitely alive. Still, her dubious theory seemed infallible at the time as she desired to believe she was not dead and the pain was evidence enough to dissuade her from believing so.
As she continued a sweep of her surroundings, she felt no culpability nor onus, and the lack of gravity evoked awareness to her own unencumbered body. Caira began by listing the facts: I'm definitely unconscious, I am unable to recall what I was doing before this.. But if I am not, and I'm trapped in some sort of illusion, things look pretty bleak. Poison can cause hallucinations.. It's possible that a poison is the cause of.. All this. Her eyes met the darkness before her, she was within the Mouth of the Devil.
"Strange though, it feels as though I am drifting in an altered course of reality.." She spoke to the nothingness, to the darkness, and just to hear the familiar ring of her own voice purr to her ears, she felt a bit of comfort in the familiar timbre. She accounted, to the best of her ability, all of her astute senses and to this place which seemed to hold onto her, without any evidence of a physical grasp. As Caira sighed, exhuming her thoughts and delving into the point of pain, she leaned back to see if the nothingness would warp to the outline of her imagination, she found a strange sense of support suddenly tingle, as though there was density in this emptiness yet. This shock reached her breath which was mildly obstructed with the accelerated rhythm of panic and consternation.
"Humm..." She felt the agony in her skull lessen with the vibration of the tone, and then she squirmed, and turned upside down with a small struggle. Her hair tumbled downward suspiciously. Perhaps that meant the trick was up. But it was this that finally told her, "I'm not trapped at all!"
A gale force wind rippled from the nothingness, and her clothes and loose garments shook at the force. The tsunami wave of wind caught her off guard, and spun her around a bit, but she was sure she had imagined it, because it was such a surreal feeling. Instantaneously, as though she had strum the right tune, a light brightened the darkness. It appeared as a pathway to a coruscant star, only further convincing her that she was no longer conscious. But with a flash in the starless sky, a beacon of exalted cynosure was streaming with light before her. She faced the unparagoned being, upside down. When she saw it did not have eyes, her own averted from his face.
Omni..present? She assumed as the bright silhouette had introduced itself. She suspected there was something more to it but listened wholeheartedly. Omnilium.. And he can create fearless beings? Well.. Incentive to be fearless, with an irrevocable reason.. Caira attempted to understand, and was mightily intrigued by the being's words.
"Waiting for...?" Her voice trailed off as he had vanished by the time she could compose her question and allow it to stream from her lips.
