PATHS
-The place of new beginnings-

My eyes opened. I surveyed my surroundings with wide eyes. I wasn't on an airship, nor was I in Marley.

I instantly shot up, realising I wasn't even in clothes. My form was completely bare.

That wasn't the head of my worries, however. My gaze was fixed on the beautiful, blue light in the distance, the white sand I was stood on and the overall ethereality of this mysterious place.

All I remembered was that syringe.

That syringe.

My eyes widened and my hands moved to my face, tracing the new found markings on my face as I tried to unintentionally mimic the feeling of my father's calloused hands on my face as he held me before he passed. But nothing could even come close. It just wasn't the same.

I felt as if I was a new person.

I felt fresh.

I felt as though I was reborn.

I felt kind of free.

A forced grin etched its way onto my face and I threw my head back, cackling as I did so. Everything was funny. This new place, the sand my feet stood on, everything.

But then it happened again.

Pure nothingness.
