[center][h2]Li’Kalla[/h2][/center] [hr] [i]Stay away! Don’t, don’t, please-! No…! No, no no. Get away from me![/i] Shouting and screaming and crying for as long as she remembered. She’d spent so long running, escaping. Even now after what felt like an eternity, the memory was burned into her mind. So, she ran. There were so many shadows. Were they real? Was her mind playing tricks on her? Most of them stood there, formless beings that she [i]knew[/i] were looking, staring at her! No, they were real. They definitely were. She panted and huffed and puffed as she ran through the endless expanse, looking for some way out. For some way to escape. There was none… [center][b]II[/b][/center] She was huddled up. Knees to her chest and arms around the legs. She looked around and saw the formless forms around her. Were they all looking at her? They must have been! For the way she felt… It meant they were looking at her, judging her, laughing at her! Oh, the humilliation… [center][b]III[/b][/center] A light! There was a light! At first the woman sat there, wide eyed, but the sudden movement among the crowd of formless forms woke her up from her reverie. The light was there, and it called to her! In an instant she rose to her feet, but then the crowd washed over her. Passing through her, connecting to her-! She saw fragments of memories that weren’t hers. She felt her immaterial body suffer upon the touch of a thousand thousand pairs of dead hands. She froze, but the crowd carried her with them. It was like a tide—Inescapable! She tried to run away, crawl away from the light. [i]S-Stop touching me! Don’t push me! Stop, please, stop![/i] She tried to say. No form would stop, however. As she got closer to the light, she felt a shiver permeate her entire form. She knew then, that if she reached that light, she’d know suffering once again. [i]Stop! I said, stop![/i] From a plea, she went to a demand. Then she felt it for the first time—The anger, the hunger. It was as if she was alive once more. [b]”STOP!”[/b] The voice bellowed throughout the void, the first sound to grace the place in an eternity. She reached the light, but as half her form passed through it, the other half expanded without a care for the others. It consuming everything in its path and left no memory or feeling behind. [center][b]IV[/b][/center] A form had at first arrived in the new world. Shapeless like most others, this one proved to have more trouble choosing a body for itself. Even when several of her peers had adopted new forms, she was struggling. At times the being looked like a cloud, then like a person, then that person warped and twisted almost into a monster—But in the end, the form of a person stood victorious. So she found herself in the new world. She looked at the one who’d brought her here and recoiled at his hideousness. Perhaps looking for comfort, she turned her head and looked at the other beings in the great room. There were ones that looked somewhat like her, but more… Regal, Intimidating… And then there were others who were not so lucky. They looked more like monsters. One of them had begun forming. A colossal one, so large that his mere laughter sent waves crashing all over the room. She knew who he was at a moment’s notice—Or at least, what he was supposed to be. It scared her. A shiver went down her spine and she turned to her summoner with a wordless cry for help. She received nothing but a cold stare. Judgement. The waves were approaching her, but even then she sank low to the ground. First her knees had touched the ground, and then it was her forehead. She shut her eyes tightly when she felt as if the weight of a mountain had just been placed on her shoulders. Why… Why couldn’t she just live in peace? She grasped her chest, looking to comfort the heart she knew she no longer had, because it still felt like it was going to give out.
