Darkness.

Cold and devoid of any type of sound. The only sound that was audible in the darkness that surrounded everything. It was near endless, with no sign of light or any other type of margin that would signify an end or a beginning.

Total darkness.

Except...as time went on...a new light began to emanate high above. The light began to grow, brighter and more vivid. The coldness now turned to warmth as a form of life began to expand every corner of the darkness that was once dominant.
Once the light reached peak brightness...a soothing voice echoed from above.

Wake up...

WAKE UP...

Asim gasped awake, as if someone had just punched him in the back. He tried looking around, but his respirator was covered in what seemed to be a thick layer of...moss? And the most important part...was that the respirator was broken, exposing him to the poisonous atmosphere of Pandora. He reached with one hand, touched his visor, and tried to move, now feeling that his entire body was covered in moss and some plants. Asim tried moving again and this time he pulled himself from the moss that encased him. His hands reached automatically to his respirator and cleared it, touching the gap that was the opening in the glass.

Asim breathed once, twice, and...didn't feel like he was going to asfíxiate from the poison that was all around the air or that his lungs stung. It felt like regular air that he could breathe, which was strange. Now that he realized that this was happening for real after determining somethings, he calmed down and looked around as sound started to return to his ears. And to see more clearly, he decided to take off the damaged respirator off his face and head.

The entire forest of Pandora surrounded him where he sat, the sounds of the creatures like insects and animals blaring across the endless expanse of the jungle. Asim looked around the place where he sat to determine that there was no one or nothing hostile nearby. Once seeing that there wasn't any danger, Asim sighed and groaned as he began to move and stand up. He felt weak from having slept an undetermined amount of time, and then stopped when he looked at his body.

Something long that looked like an arrow was embedded in his abdomen, piercing right through his black protective suit and armor that was still covered in moss. Asim panicked a bit when he saw it, and examined it some more to determine how deep it went. When he looked back, he saw that the tip of the arrow on the backside where it came out was broken. This was a relief, as he didn't have to worry about that part coming out back again. The only thing that he worried was the pain that it would involve taking it out.

Asim began to breathe slowly as he gently reached for the arrow piece that was embedded in his body with both hands, making a mental countdown before swiftly pulling it out. He let out a sort of gag/gasp as he felt the sharp pain of the stick being pulled out from his abdomen. Some blood started to trickle out from the wound hole in his body, coating the moss and suit. Sometime later the pain started to decrease, and slowly started to heal Asim felt. Then he looked at the arrow he had removed from his body and examined it. Now that he looked at it closely, he immediately began to remember what it meant.

The arrow was by the natives of the world that called themselves Na'vi. Shot from bows that could pierce even the strongest of armors, and were coated with a neurotoxin that stopped heart function in one minute. Asim had just pulled one out from his body, and even if it went through him the toxin should be enough to paralyze him. And yet here he was in the middle of nowhere...breathing the poisonous atmosphere of Pandora, surviving a fall...and not having suffered the effects of the deadly arrow. Asim tried to remember what has happened, and everything came rushing back to him like a large wave of water.
