Peace

Kael found himself floating.

His body felt weightless, calm, and utterly comfortable.

He slowly opened his eyes to find himself suspended in a void.

There was nothing around him, only an endless blanket of soft darkness.

'Not this again,' he thought, a flicker of resignation.

His mind felt heavy and blank… empty.

He drifted continuously for a while, then grew bored and decided to try and fall asleep, surrendering to the sensation of nothingness.

He to floated aimlessly for an unknown period of time.

Until he felt a shift in his surroundings.

His eyes fluttered open as he stared into the distance.

There was a small ball of golden light shining, impossibly bright, in the distant gloom calling on to him.

He felt an invisible force pulling him toward it.

As he drifted closer, its size began to increase, growing more vibrant with every passing moment.
