Capítulo 773: Chapter 773: All Is Lost

Why is everything all black and fuzzy? Numbness pulls at me, hums to me to return to the dark and be still. I almost do, want to, for some reason. There is great comfort in it, in the embrace of the black and the haziness of the nothing.

Have I fallen into my sorcery? Into a gaping hole made for travel from the hungry black of my power, only to be lost?

No, that can't be right. I can hear voices, can't I? Familiar voices, ones I know very well. They make me want to focus, to listen and understand why I am here, floating in the dark.

Even as I do, my soul flinches. Cries out. Tries to retreat. Something isn't right. A fundamental something, tied to the center of who I am.

But what? And do I really want to know?

Light assaults me, bright and terrible, and only then do I realize I'm blinking. Looking up into Lula's face while she talks from very far away. Not to me.

To Mom. Who hovers over me, face lined in strain, hands clenched tight to her chest.

Why are they upset?
