Chapter 111: Alone

(Agon's POV)

I opened my eyes, seeing nothing but Darkness...

Utter Darkness..

Not just the absence of light. Not just the stretch of shadow where things might lurk. This was deeper, heavier. A void that stretched beyond the edges of existence, suffocating in its nothingness, yet limitless in its reach. It did not feel like an absence but rather a presence, something watching, something waiting.

I stood there, alone.

No loose camp. No Celia. No Jess. No Uvan. No Lovia.

Just me.

A cold weight settled in my chest as I exhaled slowly, watching my breath dissolve into nothing. The air or whatever this place had instead of air was thick with contradiction. Boundless yet suffocating. Still yet shifting. The kind of silence that had weight, pressing against my skin, my ears, my mind.
