Empty. That’s what it felt in the Abyss. Those who traveled long and far enough would have found the same creeping sensation settling in their bones, smoothing over their skin until all they could feel was the. Cold. That’s what it felt right now. Strangers with strange voices doing strange things disturbed the serenity of the Abyss until it was no longer. Still. Stillness was broken, replaced by noise, noise, noise. The Lagoon was disrupted, a place of gathering where the Abyss could watch from its children, now shook with the violence that took it for a day.

By now the Lagoon was in more than just chaos. There were five groups of guardian wolves, and two groups of prisoners who deserved to be sent back to their cells and rot; give or take a straggler or two. Spread out as they were, the air was charged with the energy of carnage and became humid and hot with it. It was the opposite of the glassy Lagoon, whose waves were unmarred until now. Blood was spilled. That much was easy to ascertain, red flying.

Corpses fell with it, some of their essence flicked into the pools of the Lagoon just out of position. More than enough blood stained the cavern walls, red running freshly off their craggily surfaces into some form of cave art. But what mattered was the blood in the water. Strands of deep red from the spilled drops separated as all did beneath the waves. Compared to the darkness of the Lagoon’s waters, the red wisps were a source of light, a beacon.

Two eyes as deep as night opened somewhere from the depths of the Lagoon. Unfocused as they were, they wearily locked sight with the trickles of blood. An invisible force pushed them upwards, rising out of the deep, until a [url=https://i.imgur.com/EVwD5AT.jpg]body[/url] broke the surface. Immediately, the tranquility beneath the Lagoon was switched for harsh noises of battle that hurt the girl’s ears. She might have chosen to cover them but instead stared at the Lagoon’s ceiling.

She made no move to intervene or participate in the battle. Some of the wolves who took notice of her didn’t raise their weapons to capture or kill. If anything, they ignored the new girl idly floating upon the water’s surface. She would remain there until approached but she prayed it wouldn’t happen too soon. Nothing would be better than to sink back into the depths where it was empty, cold, and still, where the Abyss was at its purest. But no, the noise kept coming.
