Was this the afterlife, for someone like me?
Lazily spinning, I couldn’t see or hear. I could only feel the cool currents of water brush by my body, pushing me in whatever direction they pleased. I didn’t really care, not like I had a better place to be. After all, I was dead.
Wasn’t I?
Eyes slowly opening, all I could see was black. Deaf and blind, doomed to drift forever in a nearly senseless void. Although with nothing to concentrate on besides my own gut feeling, I could tell someone else was watching. Observing. Curious.
Opening my jaws, I bellowed a silent roar, only to be sent spinning in a random direction.
Mind your manners, insolent lizard. I was under the impression your kind were a bit more civilized than that.
I could tell that the voice wasn’t really a voice, but at the same time, I didn’t even care.
You SHOULD care.
So this thing was reading my thoughts now? Funny, never thought I was worthy of special attention….
Oh, no, I disagree. You are VERY special, you know it to. You are just too cowardly to acknowledge it.
I just floated in the water, right side up, upside down, I didn’t know. Didn’t care. If I was going to be spending the rest of eternity with this annoying little putz I didn’t want to give him the satisfaction.
You dare think yourself bigger, stronger, better than I? You are mistaken, young one. Though, I can sense the strength within you, your doubt and anger clouds your true abilities and sense of purpose.
You are interesting to me, so I will spare you, this time, and impart upon you a pearl of wisdom: Open your eyes to your true nature, embrace it, and you will be a danger to no one but your enemies.
I struggled out of instinct as I felt the darkness embrace me once again, squeezing me, binding my limbs until I could not move.
We are more similar that you would care to admit. Both entities of a different place, a different time, trying to regain their station in a world dominated by creatures lesser than they. Heed my advice, child, if you wish to survive our next encounter.
Choking on the nothingness, I felt my world, again, fade to black.
