A soft voice drifted into the infinitude of the multiverse. Reaching far until it touched every corner of what was and what is.
"It seems that was a failure as well," It murmured. Dispassionate. "Another reset. And yet another standard deviation to attempt."
And, thus, the story began anew. Yet once more.
The girl opened her eyes to an abyss. She could see nothing. Hear nothing. Smell nothing. All she felt was the cold texture of chains spiraled upon her arms, her legs, and her knees meeting a chilling floor.
"No," She decided, muttering alone in the darkness.
Though she could clearly see, there was nothing to see. Though she could clearly hear, there was nothing to hear. Though she could clearly smell, there was nothing to smell. And although she could feel, only the cold hugged her.
Time seemed eternal within that space. Time seemed nonexistent as well. For day and night did not exist, she did not sleep. Instead, her mind ran with thoughts.
Why was she here? She did not know. And that confused her.
Many times she had tried to escape and each willingness ended with failure. The first. The second. The fifth. The hundredth. The ten-thousandth. She had tried to escape many, many, times.
"How long have I existed, chained here?" The girl muttered to no one, resigning herself. All she knew since she became conscious was ever-consuming darkness. And so, without her knowledge, hundreds of years silently trickled by as madness threatened to take her mind.
The only thing the girl could do to keep sane was extend her fangs, biting and drawing blood from herself, over and over. The sensation of pain. The bliss of the warmth of blood. That was how she knew she was still alive as time marched mercilessly onward.
Within that eternal darkness where she tormented herself, watching as her self-sustained injuries healed as quickly as she created them, she did not see light until much, much, later. When the blue of azure ice shone brightly.
