Leo couldn't move, not a single muscle. But he tried, and when that proved fruitless, he kept doing so anyways. "Not again", he thought. "Not again! Never again...!"
The darkness was all-consuming. There was nothing to see, nothing to feel, and, as he proved, nothing to do either. He was at the whims of yet another of his nightmares. Panic was starting to build inside of him. He promised himself that he'll never allow his fear to stop him ever again. But, as always, his dreams were there to remind him of how pathetic he actually was.
But wait... where was Michella?
A figure appeared in front of him. It was definetely not her.
The vaguely humanoid man started to talk, but Leo couldn't hear anything of what he said. His mind was too busy crying and screaming to pay any attention.
The figure gave Leo what appeared to be an orb made of... something. His body moved on its own and took it, without any input from him whatsoever. Even his own body was beyond his control.
"No!", he thought. "I don't want it! I don't want anything from you! Leave me alone!". He didn't need any more stuff from "superior beings" given against his will.
He wanted to throw the ball to the featureless man, but that, too, was too much to ask.
The darkness got replaced by light, and now he found himself standing on a white landscape. His body was once again under his control, something he found out by how he almost fell to the floor; his body finally reacting to all the strength he was using on his attempts at moving.
It took him a moment to react to what just happened. The "dream" was real, something the weird orb on his hand proved. With all his strength, he threw it to the fountain in front of him, which he just realized was there.
"I don't want this shit!", he yelled at nothing. ""I'll be watching and waiting" my ass! FUCK YOU!"
He pressed his hands into his head; his whole body shaking. Tears started to fall. "It happened again, and i couldn't do anything... Again. Why?!"
Slowly, he sat on the white floor, sobbing.
The memories of what just happened replayed on his mind over and over again. It was the same helplessness, the same self-pity, that he felt when that demon took his sister's sight to give him his new eyes. He was glad no one got hurt this time, but he couldn't shake away how pathetic he felt. It was as if the gods enjoyed toying with him, using him to play who knows what kind of cosmic game, with he being forced to silently watch. It was even in his name, "to watch"...
…
A few minutes later, when the rewinded memories stopped having any emotional effect on him, he pushed them aside, and stood up.
He observed the water fountain; the only feature on this whole place. It was just a circular wall made of whatever the floor was made of, with a single water jet in the middle. In the water, the ball he threw earlier was floating, moving with the gentle current of the little pool. Leo took it, and sat on the fountain wall.
It was a weird orb, with a whole rainbow shimmering on its surface, like nothing he has seen before. He didn't know from what it was made of, but he was sure that, if light were a solid, that would be this orb's material.
Leo opened his eyes. Under his vision, the orb looked exactly the same. No texture, nothing inside of it, no invisible pattern. Just a solid orb "made of light".
He noticed the floor shimmered with the same rainbow as the orb though. While it did look to be made of something specific (albeit unknown to him), behind that white material, an almost invisible iridescence could be seen.
Besides observing what Leo had in front of him, there was nothing else to do. Not that he wanted to do something, but eventually, being alone on this place started to creep him out. He didn't know anything about it, and he didn't pay any attention to the weird dude explaining it, so he was lost.
Sharpening his vision, he noticed something on the horizon. Between a certain interval, he could see some kind of structures in the distance. They were too far away to distinguish their exact features, even with his vision.
But he wouldn't lose anything by exploring on his own, would he...?
He better not.
