Shadows of our end - KDA x Male Reader (Original)

Act 1 - 046

*** Ahri POV ***

I then gesture to my person. "The thing all of us need to remember is fitted, is an Anchor."

Rey then states, "It's to keep us connected right?"

"Huh?" Kat looks at her.

I chuckle, "The Anchor is an invisible line that keeps our physical and spiritual form locked in place while we project ourselves inside of the rift. This makes sure that if we get lost you can just be pulled out of it easily and if the gate shuts then all of us are pulled straight out of it."

"Without it, if you get stuck in there you are gone forever and the chances of getting back is very slim."

Kai'Sa giggles, "One in a hundred."

We fit everyone with their Anchors as I then ask, "Where is our other leader?" I glance around trying to see if my senses can pick him up, I fit my anchor and start walking around and for some reason, I can't find him.

Erica sides next to me, "What's wrong?"

I feel my arms go weak, "I... where is (Y/N)?"

She furrows his brow, "Ahri don't tell me he is inside without an Anchor."

I then turn around, "Has anyone seen (Y/N)?"

Kai'Sa then says, "He was just... there..." her face is then covered by her suit and she charges into the gate.

"Kai'Sa!" I try to stop her but she ignores me and zips right past me.

Fuck... fuck... no this isn't good. He can be anywhere...

Rey then walks up, "We have a week to find him right?"

I then state, "The problem is not that we have a week... but time is different inside there. A day here could mean three even four days in there... everyone gets ready we are going in right now."

*** Normal POV ***

I regain consciousness, I lift myself instantly despite my headache only to find myself lying in... fleshy cushions and weird tentacle grass. I have no idea what to call it. Fucker... I am going to kill him when I see him.

I glance around, this place is massive and very weird.  The air tastes... putrid and gassy. I hear a thundering crack sound in the sky, I glance up to see that even the sky looks just like everywhere else. As if I am in a big hive.

In the air, massive creatures are flying through the air. Everything has a purple hue mixed with what looks like bone and flesh. A world that exists purely out of organic material. Kai'Sa said it infects and eats.

Parasites?

I walk to the edge of the area where I woke up to see that below me, I can see the same things I saw above me. A world that appears to have no end and I am in a random place because I wasn't anchored.

I scoff as I drop to my knees. "I am not getting out of here... I haven't been anchored," then laugh at my situation knowing there isn't anything else to do, crying and screaming won't help. "Fuck..."

Fuck me... guess you are going to have to find someone else to fall asleep Ashe. I am going to be stuck here for a while. My arms are shaking, my stomach feels like the acid is bubbling inside me ready to be let out.

My anxiety is through the roof, I pace my breathing just to not freak the fuck out. Okay... just look around. Keep walking. See if I can find anything. I have a week, right? Week. One week. If I don't find anyone by then... then I am on my own.

I check my pockets, and all I have is my card. Need to keep it... I don't want to pay for a new one. I then put it in my jacket's pocket close to my chest. I have nothing else on me. Nothing. Nothing to help me survive but my clothes are thick enough in case of cold weather... if the weather is even a thing.

I glance around, a lot of this is just biomass and I am going to have to rely on figuring out what won't just kill me after I eat it. Water... if I can even find water. 

I push myself forward, I can feel how shaky my legs are moving forward. The thought that I might be stuck here for the foreseeable future is killing me. Kai'Sa said she was stuck once... maybe someone will come and save me.

Eventually.

Taking a deep breath I start walking in one direction saving my energy in the case of having to fight something. I don't know how hostile this place is and I am going to learn the hard way whether I can get close to it or not.

I then pick a direction and hope to the gods that I chose the right one.

Travelling what I just decided to be north.  I watch the creatures in the air float high above. None of them even look remotely interested in me, probably because they haven't noticed me. I glance forward to see another island of mass.

Crawling over it are fairly large spiders, one of them skitters towards me with pincers in the air as it screeches pulling the other spider's attention to me. I fade into smoke and shadow to see if they can harm me. 

Their clawing attacks phase through me, they are as big as my knees... I glance behind me to see even more of them have popped out from the ground rushing towards me. I ignore them and float past them to see if they are mindless carnivores.

Maybe they will get tired of me before I get tired of keeping this form. I get to what looks like a tree with weird fruit hanging from it. I phase up to the branches sitting on them as I pluck one of the fruits.

It... looks like a rotten apple that has turned purple and it leaves blood marks if I touch it. I bring it close to my nose but the air I am already smelling has dumbed my sense of smell so much that I can even smell the cologne I put on this morning.

I toss it towards the spiders trying to climb the slimy tree and they all dash towards the fruit. Killing each other to get to it and then returning their attention to me. Even if I am to leave soon... need to learn as much as possible as quickly as possible.

I decide to stay for a while they aren't mindless zombies. Most of them have given up and skittered away while like three or four have stuck around.

Guess they do get tired eventually. Or bored.

I float back down and start walking, the ones that have stuck around return their attention to me but just return to what they were originally doing. So they aren't stupid either.
