Ath3na blinked to alertness as if she'd just woken from a long dream.
"W-what?" she whispered. "What's going on?"
A heavy mist coiled around her feet. It was all she could see for the world around her was pitch-black, and yet, this didn't seem to bother her at all.
"Come," said a soft feminine voice. "Come…"
She took one step forward. Then another, and then one more, until she was strolling through the darkness and moving ever forward. To what, she didn't know. All she had was this feeling of being compelled to keep on walking.
A tiny speck of light flared up just beyond her vision, causing Ath3na to run toward it. It didn't take long for her to get to where the light was, and when she finally saw what had caused it, Ath3na felt her throat go dry.
Before Ath3na lay a small pile of glowing azure marbles. They were high-grade soul stones.
"Go ahead," the voice whispered into Ath3na's ears.
Greetings, fellow reapers!
Well, hope you enjoyed that insight into Ath3na's inner desires. :D I enjoyed writing it... never thought it would feel so easy to write that kind of situation from a point of view that isn't a man's... I hope I did it justice. :D
Also, update on the cover. We've got the composition we want... now it's all up to the artist to draw it, give it color, and then bring the thing to life! Can't wait to show it to you guys. :D
Hey, are you liking the book so far? Don't forget to send me a gift so I can have a cup of coffee while I keep writing. hehe.
Happy weekend, y'all!
