Riful's Heart.

[dramatispersonae]

[everything goes away.]

[sight, sound, taste, touch, smell - you lose yourself to the nothing that waits through the doorway. do you have a body? a mind? what is such a thing? for a dizzying moment, you might not even be sure you have a "you" to identify these concepts with.]

[then, wrenching and violent, the confusion of the senses pummels itself back inside you like seasoning pounded into raw meat, and you're left, painfully sensate, on an open plain.]

[oh_brother]

... I have no idea, honestly. Perhaps not the tower, as that is where Sion went.

[identityformations]

The trees were...strange.

[oh_brother]

[slight nod]

You may lead the way then.

[amivoringyou]

[outside, the mounds seem ... closer to you, again, but once more, looking at them head on destroys the sensation. you get the sense you're being watched from somewhere.]

[so, for that matter, do the trees feel closer to you, less distant. but this sensation doesn't go away when you look at them.]

[amivoringyou]

[and so you walk.]
