A noise. A pitter-patter of repeating motions that became louder, only to tapper out at a different position from where it originated. Another sound that was similar, but somehow more firm and... confidant? Voices? Another pitter-patter?

The vibrations through the earth created by these noises caused a figure within it to squirm, her pale, delicate hands twitching into motion as if their owner had been within a deep slumber. Deep, amber eyes fluttered open in the darkness under the shade of tangerine glass, a feminine groan releasing itself from it's owner. The moment she awakened, the figure could feel an enveloping pressure laying upon her whole body. What was this feeling? This oppressive force upon her person? It covered her, consuming her every movement, every excess of without reaction. She didn't like it.

Her squirming became a struggle, lithe limbs pushing around in their earthen confinement, an unpleasant, clutching feeling making itself known within her core. Why did she feel this way? What was feeling? How could this daunting pressure keep her here, in this oppressive darkness? She wanted out. Out. Out. OUT!

A brilliant, golden light, the relief of freedom, a loud rumbling that exploded towards the skies, revealing an encompassing fog. Was this freedom she felt, or the workings of a larger confinement? The undesirable tightness of her chest faded away, leaving a bliss coolness that she intrinsically knew was safe. Contentment, she knew it was called. [color=f26522]'But what was contentment,'[/color] she thought as she pulled herself from the earthen walls of dirt, the source of the earlier oppression, out of a six feet deep divid in the natural structure. Her eyes focused on the figures beneath her, only ten feet above the three forms. Two strangely familiar in her jumbled mind. Another tightness consumed her feeling, colder than the softness of content, but not quite the same as the feeling she felt underground. It was filled with an intrinsic sense of... loss? [color=f26522] 'What was contentment, if I barely understand what is going on?'[/color]
