In a blinded state I felt myself being magnetically pulled into something. The force that ushered and carried me also sent waves of energy that could rip my body into pieces. It was frightening yet magnificent.I was being engulfed by the core of the force, inside I could hear her screaming. Apatheia's voice went from a sweet intoxication to a surging horror. Memories flashed before my eyes rapidly as burning photographs, each memory hurt more and more. The fire filled my head and remained trapped behind my eyes, attempts to restrain my own cries of suffering were futile. Her scream was so loud and piercing that I pressed my hands against either side of my head, feeling as if it would violently shatter like glass. It was then that I came realize that I was not blind...I was in pure darkness. Slowly being guided into what would be a probable equivalent to a black hole. My body did not resist, my mind no longer wanted to resist, I had surrendered. Seconds afterwards the fire filled my whole being causing my body and self to explode into a million fragments. The pain that I felt could only be described as Hell. Each fragment drifted in different directions, though they kept an orbit around the magnetic core. In her darkness I am conquered, orbiting the magnetic void of our souls. When I awoke I had returned to the room that I was staying in. Had I dreamed that I saw her? Did I ever really leave this room? The vision that I had saw...was any of it real? Why is it that every time I am near her, I am flooded with bliss and serenity then with unspeakable horrors and pain?! Why does this render me powerless? The endless questions feasted upon my mind like vultures ripping the hide off of their decaying prey. I stared into the blank ceiling for hours, my body being too heavy for me to move, my voice muted, and I entangled in the vision, questions and memories. The day had ended and the night would soon retire, still I had no answers and no one to answer what consumed me except for my own voice. I knew better than to trust my answers, I needed to go back to where I saw Apatheia and get answers from her. She held all the answers, to the vision, to the questions, to the truth behind the King and his rule of the people. If I was to venture out again I needed to take care of the basic needs as well as mentally prepare. I could only wonder as to which power she'd use on our next encounter, if at all she was real. First thing was first, I needed to regain control of my own body again. It had taken a majority of the morning to freeze and break most of Apatheia's bindings. There was one that remained, it was one the one around my neck, however I did not have the needed strength left to destroy it. It seemed like no matter what we were bound to each other in one way or another. I had come with the intentions of playing a game with the King and instead I've been crushed into fragments by the Queen. I needed to shake my head of those thoughts for the time being, I needed to get cleaned up and to eat before it was time to sleep walk again. It'll be just like a dream.
