Darkness, endless darkness!
It seemed like a giant black hole which devoured anything and everything.
The edge of the darkness was blood-red.
The blood-curdling calls were filled with misery and destruction.
Everything was destroyed. At the end of the destruction, there seemed to be a hint of the radiance of dawn.
"Child… Wake up, child…"
The voice reached him from afar. Its sound vibrated and fluctuated in the faraway future.
He wanted to grab hold of it, but he could not.
He wanted to make it stay, but all he could manage was watch it leaving him.
"Lub-dub! Lub-dub! Lub-dub!" There were strong heartbeat sounds. Something wanted to break free.
An icy cold aura invaded his consciousness and suppressed the strong heartbeat.
Time seemed to cycle and alternate endlessly. Everything seemed both real and illusory at the same time.
