Despite the fact that time seemed to be working as expected again - tick, tock, tick tock; the ebb and flow of seconds as they were meant to be - not all the haze had cleared from his mind. Something was still deeply amiss, deeply forgotten, deeply wrong. Element stared closely at his reflection as it was constantly warped by the flowing of a small stream, his nose almost touching the chill water that flowed from one of the lower, sun-dappled peaks of one of the mountains that did not yet have a name.
It had taken proof of his existence in the eyes of another to cement him in this world, but his mind still ached with the vaguest of memories. Every so often as he wandered, he'd be struck with the sense that he was missing something real, something important, and the certainty of the thought would momentarily freeze him in a shuddering place, taking deep breathes into his constricted chest as he tried to make sense of the realities clashing in his head.
Thoughts of laughter and comfort and certainty were in direct juxtaposition with his current state - wandering across a mountainside he had no memory of. He sometimes felt the weight of a lifetime on his soul, well-lived and well-earned, and in the next fleeting moment that security disappeared and left him faced with the fact that he was wandering along - searching for something he could not name. One of those moments had overtaken him now, as gray eyes stared into the ripping stream, trying to look for something deeper.
