Darkness. That was all there is everywhere.
Nothingness....
Void...
"Hello?" A voice called out, confuse, bewildered, and lost.
Slowly, as if being woken up, the darkness made room for a faint light, fog so thick, it seems tangible started to be discernable.
Then, a silhouette. A man.
"Is anybody here?!" His voice echoed, as if the void was replying back to him.
His dark robes hung heavy against his frame, the fabric damp, clinging like a second skin. Strands of hair stuck to the back of his neck, unbound and swaying with each step. He didn't know where he was going, only that he had to go.
The world around him was neither dark nor light, just an endless stretch of shifting gray. The ground, if it was ground, felt strange beneath his feet, like stepping onto something that wasn't quite solid yet wouldn't let him fall.
Had he already passed this place?
No, that didn't make sense. There were no landmarks, no signs, nothing to distinguish one part of this world from another.
