Work Text:
I wake up.
My eyes are open, and everything I see is like seeing the summer sun for the first time. Burning, blinding, too bright, too much.
My lungs are begging to be filled with something, anything, and it hurts as they try to scrape for what they need.
My body feels the cold and uncomfort that he never wanted to experience, so dry and aching after all this time spent into the nothing.
I want to scream, "Mother, mother, take me back! Please hold me so I can feel your warmth again!", so I open my mouth.
As I scream, I wonder, is it what it felt like to be born?
My lungs get filled with air, and my whole body is suddenly awakening; my heart beats, my organs find back their purpose, my skin feels more and yet feels less, and finally everything starts to make sense around me.
There is someone looking at me, as if my scream somehow offended them; it's been so long since I've learned to recognize humans from each other, and everything about this one is so different from what I know.
"Hey are you alright sir?" their voice calls, and I at least can recognize a male tone.
"I am fine, don't get concerned about me!"
The man looks at me, and he doesn't seem to understand. My language has been lost for ages, and I only realize it now. I hope, pray that I can talk the language of this man, in the same way I can understand it.
Something is burning in my throat, and I know that if I wish so, my next words will be understandable to this stranger's ears.
"I am fine," I repeat, " don't get concerned about me!"
The man seems... no, is suspicious of me. I can see it on his face, plain as day.
"Are you doing the trail too?" he asks.
"Of course."
Since when have been men so easy to fool? Without another word, he leaves, and I'm alone again.
Father, please tell me why you sent me here again! Why did you break me from my slumber, what is the purpose of my return?
Father, please tell me that whatever my destiny is, it won't be as painful as the last one! Tell me that I'd get to live, or at least die in one blown to the head.
Father, please, if this is another trick by him, please help me.
