A light burns at my eyelids, but I keep my gaze focused on the ground. I dare not look upon his form, as brilliant as he is, but it is not out of fear, but respect. I know when he steps through the barrier between worlds, for I hear the soft sound of hoofbeats, the flutter of feathers in the wind. I am entranced for a moment by the thought that our gods are so like us, but it is short-lived, for he speaks, and in his speech is my prize. "So you have learned little dove. I commend your dedication to the task, and in return.... your reward." My heart begins to flutter, and suddenly the heat radiating from him seems too much. The light is growing ever brighter; I am consumed by it, falling through it, floating in it. It is in and around and on me, and I feel as though I am everywhere and nowhere. I open my eyes, and the world seems a bit too dull. The god is gone, and I murmur a thank you as I rise from my knees. I am stiff, having been frozen in the position for... well, I'm not sure how long. I stretch out my wings, flap them a few times, then settle them once more along my sides. Much better. In truth, I am not paying attention, as entranced as I am with my surroundings. It is dull, and I find that I am seeing in black and white. The grass beneath my hooves appears shriveled and coarse, though I know it to be alive. I lower my maw, sniff experimentally; oddly, no scents meet my nostrils. Looking around me, I notice drifting creatures of many shapes and sizes. The spirit world, apparently, does not discriminate. Everything glows, but it is not the brilliant orange of the Sun God; no, it is a soft, ambient light that bleeds from the very core of these souls. They take no note of me, and I am left to wonder: what will happen if I speak to one? If I try to touch one? I take a step forward, but hesitate, overwhelmed by this new world and its possibilities. Closing my eyes, I think of home: Note and the Throat, Phaedra, Rowan... when I open my eyes this time, I have returned to the Veins. [OOC | Thank you ^^] |
