Lost to the world

[Adrian]

"You have to forget yourself, it is the only way you will survive"

Her voice rang out all around him, resonating in his mind, yet he couldn't place whom it belonged to. In the darkness not much was clear save for the chains that bound him so tight they where becoming part of his flesh.

"They are of you now, embrace them"

The voice answered his line of thought before it came into his mind, and at once his need to struggle dissipated. There was a peace to be found, he could feel it, but he was not ready for it, not prepared enough. Thats what his mind told him in this place, but not much was right in this place where only darkness and chains resided.

"Understanding will come, with time"

He wanted to speak, ask the voice questions about what it meant, but like most of him, so to was his mouth bound, but not by any physical means that he could tell. More so ever a feeling, a mental block of sorts that didn't make much sense to his mind, but it came unbidden in his thoughts anyways.

"Careful what you say, they are always listening"

Again the voice interrupted his thoughts, and a shiver of annoyance coursed through him, yet there was nothing he could do to deny the voice. For some reason he knew it spoke the truth, but he knew not in what context or why for that matter.

"Keep your head down, and if your lucky they might look over you"

"And if I don't?"

He finally managed to say, only to be answered by unwavering quietness for was seemed like bells. Finally the voice answered.

"Be well, Adrian"

[Sekka]

Darkness. That was okay, Sekka thrived in the Inky blackness. But her golden green eyes were not adjusting as they normally did. She realised she was still human, and what was worse she was clothed, tightly. The dress was corseted and uncomfortable and as black as her raven hair that fell down to her hip in thin waves. She could not shed it and she could not change form. In her own way she was chained. She let out a strangled cry and burst into a sprint through nothingness. It was suffocating her, and Sekka could not seem to breathe easily. And there was another presence. He was bound and in pain, and more suppressed than Sekka

"Why are you chained?"

She asked in the universal language of dreams. He was chained and Sekka was free. She morphed into a Panther and sunk further into the blackness, only her eyes showing against the background. She began to slink around the man, not questioning the fact that she could still speak to him

"Can I help, perhaps, or maybe ill just..." She moved towards the man a manic feline grin spreading across her face "Hinder you further" she grew larger in her confidence and even began to circle him, an aggressive stance was clear but she did not yet move to attack. She merly snarled and snapped her teeth as if the man was her prey.

[Adrian]

The terrible quietness broke with a new voice, the darkness illuminating ever so slightly. This new force he could see at least, yet that did not bring him any comfort for this one carried a menacing energy about her. Was this why he was restrained. So that he might suffer the indignantly of helplessly being torn apart. He almost wish the mysterious voice was still present. At least it offered him a measure of comfort.

For lack of something better to do though, he answered her, relieved to see that at least he could speak still. "I was born to this world in these chains. They are all I've ever known" He remarked, following her with his eyes whenever she crossed into his vision. "They are as apart of me as I of them"
