Elyssa
The cold floor sent a tingling sensation through my bare feet as I took slow steps forward, my ears ringing with absolute silence.
I had no idea where I was heading, but somehow, a pull came from the other side of the darkness, urging me to venture further.
If this was going to lead me to the afterlife or whatever lay beyond it, I didn't want to go. I wasn't ready to die. I didn't want to find out what came after death.
I wanted to go home. I wanted to see Kaelith.
But I couldn't stop my feet from moving.
One step.
Then another.
And another.
Until I finally came to a halt at what seemed to be the edge of a mountain. Only, I couldn't see the mountain itself, nor could I make out what lay beyond it. There was no sky above me, no ground stretching into the distance, no trees or rocks or anything that could tell me where I was.
Just darkness.
Endless, suffocating darkness.
