It's hard to pinpoint when Aeris first felt it. The darkness.
She can't recall anything before the cold sluiced through her.
Or even the initial feeling.
All she knows is that she's dead.
Actually dead.
Is this what Catra felt? During the War of Nocturnia, when she'd fallen into that endless pit.
Aeris hopes not.
She keeps walking through the darkness. Hoping for what exactly? She isn't sure.
Perhaps some company.But as she walks and walks, she comes across a big wooden door.
And though hesitantly, she knocks.
It swings open with a buzzing sound, and she steps into the most colourful and busy station she's ever seen.
People are dancing, and singing, and it is just the strangest thing.
But Aeris looks around, then slowly descends the stairs.
The crowd part for her as she nears the main attraction, which upon closer inspection she sees is a boat.
A massive, neon-painted boat.
"Aeris Lavinia D'riluth," The man driving it smiles, "Welcome aboard."
He helps her in.
"Ris, long time no see...eh?"
A relatively young feminine voice says from beside her.
She looks up, and her heart seems to stop.
Naeva. Smiling at her. With the same dimpled smirk she'd worn for so long.
Naeva fucking Blightshade.
