"I'm sure he'll grow up to be an amazing mage." - Zenith Greyrat


(First Person POV)

Amidst the chaos and commotion, I found myself trapped in a hazy, surreal world of pain and confusion. Every movement I attempted was a struggle, as if invisible weights were holding me down, constricting my limbs and numbing my senses. My body felt like a leaden mass, an anchor that refused to obey the desperate commands of my mind.

The air was thick with urgency, filled with the sounds of hurried footsteps and the shrill wails of sirens slicing through the atmosphere. The frantic symphony of a crisis enveloped me, blending with the pounding in my head to create an overwhelming cacophony. Each step that the paramedics took, each bark of orders, reverberated through my consciousness like an echo, intensifying the disorienting sensation of being trapped within my own body.

Suddenly, a sound pierced through the fog of confusion: a voice both distant and near, carrying the weight of concern and anxiety. The words reached my ears, jumbled and fragmented, like the pieces of a shattered mirror reflecting a broken reality.

Concerned Person: Mister, are you okay?!

I strained to respond, to reassure this concerned stranger that I was indeed conscious, albeit trapped in a nightmare of immobility. My mind screamed for my lips to part, to form words, but my mouth remained stubbornly sealed. It was as if my very ability to communicate had been taken hostage by the enigma of my condition.

As if the world itself was mirroring my turmoil, droplets of rain began to descend from the heavens, pelting my face and mingling with the tears that had welled in my eyes. The sharp contrast between the cool touch of raindrops and the searing pain within me only served to heighten my surreal sense of existence.

My head throbbed with an intensity that matched the symphony of sirens, and I struggled to assemble the fractured pieces of memory. What had led me to this moment? The question reverberated through my consciousness like an echo in an empty chamber, each attempt to remember adding another layer of torment to the throbbing ache.

In the midst of this disorienting struggle, the voice persisted, its words imbued with a growing sense of desperation.

Concerned Person: Stay with me. Help is on the way. Can you tell me how you're feeling?

Once more, I willed my mouth to respond, to grant me a semblance of agency within this disorienting nightmare. But my attempts were in vain, the silence of my voice mirroring the chaos and turmoil that surrounded me.

And so, I remained trapped, a spectator within my own body, grappling with the enigma of pain and confusion, raindrops mixing with tears on my face. The world continued to whirl around me, a frenzied dance of motion and sound, as I fought to reclaim my place within the tapestry of reality.

Amidst the chaos of the accident, I found myself surrounded by a sea of murmurs and hushed voices. People stood in stunned silence, their expressions a mixture of shock and disbelief as they tried to process the unfolding scene before their eyes.
