Green.
That was the first thing I saw when I woke up, green all around me. Further inspection showed that I was in a container of some sort, cylindrical in shape. The bubbles rising from the base of the container, showed that the green was actually liquid. It was at that moment that I decided I hated cages and all forms of containment, because the limiting was unacceptable to me.
My vision was still blurry, but I knew there things there. Things beyond my cage. I could feel them. Through the liquid, the vibrations reach me, the vibrations of people talking. I somehow know it is sound, and I wonder where this knowledge comes from.
At first, I couldn't make out the words, it was all dimmed by the liquid. But as I continued to listen, it became clearer, and I was able to hear voices for the first time. The beginning of the conversation was lost to me, but I planned on listening through to the end.
"... -ul isn't she?" a voice asks. It was a tired sounding voice, showing signs stress and sleep deprivation. Though from what I could get from the undertones, there was pride in the person's voice. It seemed to be directed at me, but I had no idea why. Again, I wonder how I am able to deduce these things, and where this knowledge comes from. "After all this time." the voice continues "my hard work has finally paid off..." it trails of in what seems like a long and loud exhale. A yawn.
"Don't be like that professor" another voice, this one deeper, and more chipper, says to the first. "After all I helped sponsor this project, and aided in the lab work, along with your workers." there is a pause before I hear the voice again. "Though, I can't argue. She is beautiful." From what I can hear, this voice seems to be proud as well. I still have no idea why, but I began coming to terms with the knowledge.
When they go quiet and continue to just stare at me through the glass wall of my cage, I guessed the conversation was over. With nothing left to do, I began examining myself. Abandoning my still blurry vision, I closed my eyes and felt for my body. It was normal, though unresponsive, with four limbs and a weight of some sort connected the back of my skull. I felt for my nose, as somehow, even as the liquid entered it, it still remained functional. No scents were within the cylinder, so I quickly grow bored with that.
Once I discovered my ears were functional as well, I quickly tried to listen beyond the glass walls of my container. I first heard the breaths of those in front of the cylinder, the heartbeats, the blood flowing through their veins. I went further. The next sounds to assault my ears, were whirring noises, clicks and beeps. My feel told me these things are not alive. Though they interested me, entities that existed only to be used. For a moment, I listened to their chorus. Though, I eventually grew bored of that too.
As I continued to expand my field of awareness, one of the voices, the deeper one, spoke again. "What is she doing now?" it asks. I opened my eyes slightly upon hearing the voice, and vision no longer seemed to be blurry, so I opened them fully.
Two glowing orbs peered into mine. The owner of the second voice, he is... powerful. They both are, but him even more so. His golden eyes look directly into mine, and I find myself frozen. Frozen in the gaze of something the greater than me. There are other beings in the as well. Some with feels closer to the man and the woman, and others with feels closer to mine. Though only the woman comes close to the man in that regard. I didn't even notice when I started referring to them by gender.
He seems to somehow notice my thoughts, as I can see him smirk through the glass walls of my container. "She's learning." the woman replies, but I ignored her, choosing instead to study the man. He has droopy jet black hair, and glowing golden eyes. He seemed to be wearing some sort of formal attire which I later found out was a suit. It was how he carried himself however, that was the most surprising thing about him. The man didn't carry himself like he was superior,instead it was like he was trying too hard trying make himself appear at our level. The woman was the same in that regard as well.
Speaking of the woman, I shifted my gaze to her next. She wore dark green on her torso and black around her legs, to her thighs to be more precise. All of this was under a long white coat. She had messy shoulder length brown hair and half-lidded green eyes. Overall she looked extremely tired and lazy. I also managed to catch a glimpse of a jeweled bracelet on her wrist. The man seemed to have one on as well.
"We'll let her into the fields at noon." the woman continues, picking something up from the raised platform beside her. It seemed to be clipboard of some sort. "For now, she rests." The man doesn't say anything, simply smiling as she taps somethings on the clipboard, which seemed to be digital.
Yellow began to rise from the base of my cage, and when it reached me, my eyelids began to feel heavy. As the new liquid fills my container, I hear the man's voice once more before sleep claims me."Sleep well, kid" he says, and I can hear the smile in his voice."There's so much of the world for you to see."
As he says that, my area of awareness closes, and fall asleep to the chorus of the servant entities.
