"How did death feel?"
The voice asked, and I could not answer. Not because of any unknown power that kept my mouth shut, any presence I could not define that made me go silent... But because I was at a loss for words.
I didn't know what to say. The voice asked me once more.
"How did death feel?"
This time, it was almost like a demand. It wanted to know the answer, and I could not help but oblige. Something came to mind.
"Pain... It was painful."
But that was not the end, I still had more to say, the words simply flowed out of my mouth hurts, despite being in what it felt like the bottom of the sea.
"Unexpected, painful, and... Helplessness."
This time, I could feel as if the owner of the voice, most likely Ariel, smiled.
"The mind is a great, powerful weapon."
The topic changed, I listened attentively, I had no choice but to do so, albeit I was still a bit confused as to why the topic changed so suddenly.
