This is almost exactly like deja-vu. Two days have passed since I was abducted. Nagil is still carrying me to an unknown destination, probably a castle. I am utterly starving. Two days without food really weakens you. I'm kind-of glad I am in a pouch because I might have fallen off by now. But my thirst is unquenchable. There is a raging fire in me. Everything feels dry and cracked. As soon as we land, I am going to eat all the snow on the ground and have it melt in my mouth. Suddenly I was thrown to the ceiling of the pod and back. That was the final straw. I screamed and cried and howled until I could only manage a faint whimper. Everything hurt. It was painful to die. All I wanted was rest. I dug my fingernails into a the pod and closed my eyes for the last time.
