Pain …. There is so much pain. Why am I in so much pain?

The pain was so unbearable that it took a lot of effort to open up my eyes. How did I get here? Why am I in so much pain? It felt like my body was on fire and the pain traveled across my body and was stretching everywhere. I could feel the heat of something that was digging into my skin. I made another effort to open my eyes. Maybe that way I can see what is on my body that is causing this pain.

I finally opened my eyes and tried to adjust them to see where I was.

The more I tried the more my vision didn't become clearer. I did see some sort of movement. I was laying on my stomach but my head was turned to my left side. There was a dark liquid that was moving underneath me. It looked like it was moving in a quiet rhythm back and forth. I could see that I was laying on a solid surface with the strange liquid that surrounded me.

If I could see it, maybe I would see where I was.

My body felt weak and trying to make any movement sent more pain across my body and it took a lot of effort to turn my body all the way to my left side. The dark liquid also moved with me. The area that I was in seemed like the edge of something. I think my eyes had adjusted and I could see where I was.

The area had no light. But as I looked around I saw as much as I could. I think the area above me was the sky of this place. It had a dark greyish color. The edge I was laying on was also darker and made it look like the color was so deep that you could disappear into it.

The liquid was flowing from somewhere. But I couldn't find a source. I turned my attention to my arm. It looked like my arm was laying off the edge of something. Maybe a cliff? Something told me not to look at the edge. My arm had strange markings on it. The strange liquid that was on the ground was also oozing out of the markings. The markings went up my arm and I saw that it reached my shoulder on my neck and maybe could be on my back.

Maybe it was there as well?

I tried to move my arm away from the edge of the cliff and found at least that it didn't need any effort to be moved. The pain was still there but I tried to ignore it. I needed to get up and see where I was. When I saw more clearly I noticed that there were claws and the end of my hand. I didn't know I had claws.

Why didn't I know that ? What was my name ? Who am I? Why couldn't I remember ? How did I get here?

While I was contemplating on who was I could hear a sound in the distance. First it was so faint that I thought I must be hearing things but then it got louder and the sound was so chilling and dreadful my body started to shake. It didn't stop and sounded like something was in pain.

But why was I so afraid of it?

But I needed to ignore it for now. Focus on getting up and away from this place. I tried to push against the solid surface with my right arm. I didn't have much strength and was panting so much that I needed to stop for a few seconds to catch my friend. My arms still shook. I was starting to get frustrated with myself.

Somehow I knew that if that sound came closer to my location. I would be in danger. I couldn't stay here. I needed to find a place to hide. I blew out a frustrated sigh and tried again to lift myself up. This time it worked although I didn't feel anything in my legs. I could see them more clearly now.

My skin looked lighter than the gray color of this place and made me stand out and also feel like I was the only living thing here. My legs had a different color; they looked like the surface I was standing on. But when I touched them there were softer substances like hair. I looked down at my feet.

They had the same claws like my hands but they were darker the same as my legs. I also noticed that I had hair that reached to my neck. It had a mixed color similar to my skin and legs. I saw movement on my stomach. It was the same markings I had on my arm. It seems they were everywhere on my body. They were moving.

They also had the same liquid that was on the surface. The constant movement made them look like they were alive. When I touched my skin it felt so tender that it made me flinch back. I need to find out what that marking means. They were also on my other arm.

Out of curiosity I also touched my back and the same thing happened. Except when I removed my hand some of the dark liquid was on my hand. What could this mean?

The terrifying sound had suddenly stopped. The sudden quietness made me alert. Why did it stop? For the first time since I woke up. I turned my attention in front of me. Something was happening beyond the edge off the cliff on the other side in the vast distance. Up in the sky something was happening. There was a spark and something bright flickered for a moment. Was that light ? It happened again, this time a bit more clearly. What was it?
