Limbo

There was only darkness. This place wherever she was didn't really exist, or more like it didn't exist on the same dimension as Earth and all those other realms...

This was something different. Scary but tranquil. Painful but serene. Good but bad. Happy but sad. It was a contradiction, like even in a world of gods and madness it shouldn't exist.

In the empty void a lonely soul floated, she didn't have a body or any resemblance to her previous self, but deep down she knew herself. But it took her a while to remember.

'Who am I?... Where am I?... What happened?... Is this a dream?... Or was reality a dream...'

Slowly her memories returned one by one and after an infinite amount of time she knew everything about herself.

'I'm Lucy!... I... I died... Is?... Is this the place where souls go? Into the void?!'

A bit of panic rose within her, but the atmosphere quickly calmed her turbulent emotions.
