"There you go, love. That's it, easy now. Just lay back and try to relax a bit for me, alright? You have come a long way after all. Just rest your tired and weary head and leave the remainder to me" she spoke softly.

Drowsy as I was, I paid no attention to what she held affirmed. As I had blacked out into a deep slumber.

A steady gait of wheels churning steadily with persistence. Inaudible chimes sang like crickets in the dying of day fading into the late twilight. Across it all, I was unwound within the open pod I lay within like a newborn vampire snoozing soundly in their crib in the late of the evening before the hour of midnight strikes it is time for them to ascend. A time when one's body transforms in the single blink of their eyes and glows under the cover of nighttime and the shine of moonlight like a strobe light to feed on the sweet nectar of life that flows within the veins of the potential unsuspecting prey. A nectar that shines a dark red crimson, blessing an unholy heat upon one's lips. Something so unearthly and good, one would think it came from the heavens themselves.

Something cried to me from within, amidst the silence that resonated in the twilight surrounding my subconscious slumber form. A voice, distant and vague, impossible to reach and yet felt so close to grasp. An echo calling out to me from far within. A boundless appetite to hunt those who have tried to bring me down before. To be unrestricted from chains that once shackled me down from flying free into the bright twilight around me. The sound of blood flowing in my ears, screeching my name from the depths of the surrounding night.

Snoozing through an unknowing voyage away without an unmarried care in my core. The barrens from where I was birthed raced by like absent souvenirs just waiting to be found. A sudden flash of warmth flooded my form like a tsunami followed by something cold and slimy fondling my left hand. The sensation sent a shiver shoot throughout my body like a bullet, I could feel the presence of goosebumps form on my arms, butterflies fluttering wildly in my stomach, and my heart skipped a beat. At the same time, however, it felt like a kinky fantasy aroused within me that I didn't desire to recover consciousness from. Within my consciousness, an unfamiliar feeling echoed from within. A voice perhaps, some form of guiding light?

"Oh yes... Yes, master... Light me ablaze with your passion and desire... I am at your mercy..." my voice whimpered from within the darkness.

My senses awakened slowly to see the source of what was causing this sense to build within me. Glancing down to my sides, realizing that it was the tip of a tentacle, I rubbed my eyes tiredly. It was my dearest new partner Lillian by my side carefully watching over me like an eagle protective of their yet unborn young. I glanced around once more as my vision cleared and adapted to my surroundings. It appeared to be, different than compared to how it was before. Traversing through on some sort of colossal vehicle, like a train but made from what could be factual bone. The Citadel surrounding the outside races, the place that has me drawn to it with its subconscious call.

"Huh? Oh, hey Lillian" I moaned.

"Good morning my sleepy batty bathead. How are you feeling?" she asked.

"Couldn't be better if I do say so, I feel pretty good. Just slight nausea and warmth, really warm actually" I said sleepyly.

"Oh, o-okay then..." she stuttered.

"Hm? Is there something wrong?" I asked.

"Oh no. Nothing at all, actually I had been trying to awaken you. You've been talking in your sleep since you blacked out into slumber. My attempts were in vain, you were in such a deep sleep you couldn't be awakened from. Like you were under the effect of some type of sleeping trance or something. It got to the point that I had to also restrain you because you were shaking with no control" she explained.
