Elisabeth's POV
Terror should have consumed me completely.
Every rational part of my mind screamed that I should be drowning in panic, overwhelmed by confusion, completely undone by this impossible situation. Yet somehow, that familiar dread never materialized. We had been transported to this bizarre realm that felt fundamentally wrong, then without any warning, we were hurled into what could only be called an endless void.
The experience left me reeling, and for one heart-stopping moment before it all unfolded, genuine fear had gripped me. But then something else swept through my consciousness, replacing the terror with something far more unsettling.
Cold resignation.
