'I can't see…' he thought, frustrated, not by the dark but by the strange haze that clouded his vision of her.... He tilted his head up slightly, realizing how much taller she was than him.

Aether slightly looked up since whoever it was, they were really taller than him.

"Hey, pretty boy~" Her voice slithered through the night, both seductive and ethereal, "What are you doing here?"

!~Ding~!

Aether kept his gaze locked on her, 'Why can't I see her, Log?' he asked silently, hoping for answers.
