Nefretiri
I slept in darkness and was grateful for it.
There were no visions or nightmares. No one pulled me into other places or gave me cryptic warnings I couldn't decipher. There was only the calm and quiet of nothingness, and part of me never wanted to leave. As wonderful as that peace was, it was also scary. It numbed your feelings to where you could hardly feel a thing, making you forget about all your troubles.
It was addictive, and I needed to run from it.
After what I'd experienced, I needed that darkness to reset my brain. However, when I tried pulling myself out of it, I found that I couldn't. At first, I thought it was that needle I remember being given, but then I realized it was something else. Whatever had pulled me away from Hanbi was also keeping me here. Yet, I didn't feel any presence. No consciousness told me I was in the presence of another god. It just felt empty.
I would've been lost in that emptiness if it weren't for Ivan.
