-Sorey-

Warmth enveloped me like a tight hug, chasing away any chill that had been in my body. I let out a soft groan as I slowly opened my eyes. A strange ringing seemed to echo in my ears.

No wait, this ringing is coming from somewhere else. It's too loud to be in my ears.

As I sat up nearby, arggria flowers tickled my face, the small, blue willowy trindles that crept out from between the gray pelts left streaks of burning pollen on my face.

Quickly, I wiped my face, frowning.

"Am I in Elysium? If so, our Maker made a very odd error," I mumbled to myself.

In the center of the lush, green grassy field was an enormous tree. It reached up into the sky until, eventually, I couldn't see where it ended. Around the tree were a few of these odd-looking light blue see-through rings.

"Is this really what Elysium looks like?" I whispered.

I took a step forward but froze when I saw a strange yet familiar woman staring at me from a few feet away.

Where did she come from? When I looked around, I didn't see a single person.

Her bright, almost glowing violet eyes stared at me. Her long flowing white hair was adorned with a headband of golden-colored tealica flowers, their bluish-green leaves, and bright petals glinting in the sun.

The center of her chest was what really drew my attention. Instead of the pale skin I expected to be there; I saw ivory ribs encircling a golden ball of pure light. Her legs were covered by what appeared to be a skirt of pure white feathers.

"Who are you?" I demanded as I reached for my sword, only to find that it wasn't there

"Who are you?" I demanded as I reached for my sword, only to find that it wasn't there.

The woman pointed at me, a strange smile on her face then, she pointed to herself.

This woman...where have I seen her?

"Who are you?" I asked again as I took a step back. My thoughts felt fuzzy and disconnected; just looking at the strange woman put me on edge.

For a brief moment, I could've sworn the woman looked hurt. "I'll ask one more time, who are you?"

She continued to stare at me before pointing up at the sky, and at that moment, my eyes widened. One of the moons was missing, and the one that was left was abnormally close. I swayed in place as my thoughts became more and more disorganized and fuzzy.
