I uneasily reached out, for a moment I felt unsure and pulled back, only I felt her reach out and grasp me hand.
A moment later, and everything turned dark, time slowed to a crawl, yet passed by in an instant, I felt cold frozen yet consumed by heat and flames, my body contorted, twisted, crushed and squeezed, pulled and stretched, ripped and put back together a thousand times over.
I forcefully closed by eyes, the pain and pleasure, the fear and joy too much to take.

"Cemilan, open your eyes," the Dark One said.
Slowly I opened them.
