Emptiness

Dark

Everything was dark around Aldrich. It wasn't the Darkness Aldrich had a mastery of, but the word "dark" suited more to this Shadow World.

In the vast space, Aldrich hovered motionless in the same state as Sha had left him a week ago. Unknown currents kept sweeping him away to distant regions of this dimension. It wasn't the wind, but more like a river under a river, with its own flow and direction. There was no way for him to resist it, and he didn't want to, either.

Aldrich's eyes were wide open, but even if they had been closed, it wouldn't have changed anything. Except for the sense of passing time, Aldrich couldn't feel any presence around him. Even his pupils hadn't moved from one corner of his eyes to another. They were planted dead on his Record, and the stats it contained.
