A scream echoed in the valley of someone who’d just experienced death. It was quick and abrupt, ending as suddenly as it began. No carving was left behind on skin, no evidence of the rocks or death- only the memory of it. A memory that forced the air from her lungs and her body to be wrought with pain and grief. Her eyes took a moment to adjust, but she no longer saw the ravine nor felt the crushing weight of death. Frozen winds whipped against her face cold enough to sting, yet she shivered from the confusion instead of the frostbitten air. She no longer felt solid ground beneath her, it was soft and white instead.
The sky was an unbroken slate of gray, distant and unforgiving. At first she sat beneath that empty sky in an attempt to process while her body trembled. She sobbed, but felt the composure slowly returning to her. Legs refused to move, her head stayed firm to the ground all while forcing herself to process what had just happened. An exhaled breath could be seen through the chill air in which her thoughts formed the only word she could comprehend in the moment. Impossible. Had she somehow… survived? Or was this the afterlife? Nothing around her looked familiar, even the air felt foreign and thin. But she was here, breathing. She felt the wind biting at her, the snow beneath her. She heard the wind and saw the world. Did pain exist on the other side? Grief, worry, or doubt? It did, it felt unbearably harsh and unfair.
Serana decided to lay there awhile longer, feeling small, forgotten, and beaten by the outcome. Somehow, in her mind, it felt right to just lay there in a broken state and forget everything existed. It was easier than confronting it all. Just let me be, she said to the world.
