Chapter Two: A Whole Old World

[Aria Blackthorn]

Acolyte Suki Fujioka opened her eyes slowly to the sounds around her. For some reason she thought she heard music in the form of beeping and chimes. Suki slowly blinked her eyes as she moved her hands before her face. It was if the lights were all turned off. She heard speaking, she understood it. Someone not far was speaking Japanese. She reached for a light switch or something. Her hand hit a metal tray causing its contents to fall across the floor. It was in that moment she realized that the light couldn’t possibly be turned off.

She hastily reached for her face feeling her bare face. Hope turned to terror as she realized her vision wasn’t impaired by a blindfold. Panic filled her mind as all she saw was a thick cloud of darkness around her. “I’m blind” she called out in terror. “Help me, I’m blind!” Her mind raced over everything that she heard and what her eyes failed to tell her. “hello!” Please” she called out again for someone, anyone to help her. Her voice was filled with horror, “someone!” as she whimpered.
