<Pyrrha PoV>

I heard the Wyvern cry out in pain.

I quickly turned to look at Cinder, who had a horrified look on her face.

I decided to make use of this opportunity, and dashed forward, controlling the wreckage around us to stab her.

Just as I was about to reach, I tripped and fell.

'What? I tripped?'

I look down and saw a hand grab my foot from the shadows.

I looked around. Colour was draining from the world, leaving only black and whi- nothing.

There was nothing.

I recognized this feeling. This horror.

I closed my eyes as tightly as I could. 'Trust nothing'.

I could hear Cinder screaming and firing fireballs, but none of them hit me.

A loud Crunch was heard and Cinder's screams stopped.

I heard rustling and movement in the dark, but I did not open my eyes.

"Pyrrha?" a voice shouted. "Pyrrha, I need some help here!"

For just a moment, I was heading in that direction, and then I turned back. 'Jaune wouldn't need help, nor would he shout like that. Especially since he's in that weird state now.'

I focused on surviving here.

I kept one foot after the other, just continously moving forwar- Forward? Am I moving forward?

My mind says I had been going forward, but my body says I'm falling!

'Did I fall off a cliff?! I shoul- No. I was surrounded by rubble. I should have bumped into that.'

The feeling disappeared.

After a point, I lost my sense of direction and decided that everything be damned, I'll just keep moving.

Hours later, I was floating. I wasn't alive. I should open my ey- NO!

'I almost opened my eyes!'

Voices, sensations, visions, smells, tastes, everything attacked me here.

'How much longer?'

'How much longer?How much longer?How much longer?How much longer?How much longer?How much longer?How much longer?How much longer?How much longer?How much longer?How much longer?How much longer?How much longer?How much longer?How much longer?How much longer?How much longer?How much longer?How much longer?How much longer?How much longer?How much longer?How much longer?How much longer?How much longer?!

Then, I let out a breath. And opened my eyes.

<Jaune PoV>

I was drowning. In emotions I had long lost.
