✧・゚: *✧・゚:* Radiant's POV *:・゚✧*:・゚✧

Fading and Existing again and again. Like a million bubbles in boiling water.

Exploding and Receding. Like a million screams in a still ocean.

Dreaming and Waking up, like a million wishes that things are as true as they are.

These are not your thoughts.

Or are they? You don't know. But, you feel the sorrow and loneliness of it. Wanting something to happen in total darkness.

I'm conscious and unconscious. Or am I truly asleep and this is only in my thoughts?

These thoughts are confused and conflicted. It hurts so much, I feel like my heart is burning and wanting to burst from my chest.

Is someone there?

Suddenly, it seems to have acknowledged me. Who are you?

Who I am? I guess I'm everything there is. I am the only thing that exists until you. Who are you?

My name is... Who was I? Nevermind.

It stayed silent, but not for long.

Do you know what Radiance is?

Yes, I do.

Tell me what you know.

It's like a bright light or someone who is very enthusiastic and intelligent.

Like you, can I call you, Radiant?

Everything then goes to silence, I lose the ability to talk and a ringing sound begins to emit in my ears, they are so deafening, but I can't do anything about it. I have no limbs nor a body. I simply exist.

R--iant...

Ra--ant..!

"Radiant! Wake up!" I'm being aggressively shaken to reality.

I groan, sitting up. "What happened?" I got a wave of headache and my paw that keeps me in an upright position slipped and someone caught me.

"Careful now, we just got you back." Feeling delirious, I loom up and see a face I haven't seen before.

"Who are you handsome?" Without thinking I kissed him and the world goes black again.

✧・゚: *✧・゚:* Jamis's POV *:・゚✧*:・゚✧

I walk inside where Radiant was being held and saw him kissing a blue wolf.

Instincts kick in and I was ready to make him disappear with my voice before my mouth was shut by an unknown force and I am bound in place. I can't move!

'Jamis, stop resisting, do you think it's worth it to kill someone because you saw them kiss, Radiant?' Its Salinas. I let myself calm down.

But, that pain never left.

As I regain my ability to move, I just stand there in silence, Blazer and the others notice me.
