These are just posts of an AU story I'm writing on my WordPress, so it may not be updated often. I have a hard time writing on FanFiction, so I have resorted to another means. I'll post here still in hopes someone out there does enjoy what I write, and if anyone is interested in getting the story sooner, it'll be here -
The ground beneath him was cold and moist, not nearly as unwelcome as one would think against his aching body. His limbs felt as if they had been stretched impossibly far, and his eyes pulsed in pain beneath his lids. Everything seemed to be magnified ten-fold, the ringing in his ears as insects chirped, the near non-existent breeze stroking his bare skin icily, and the sandy dryness in his mouth near gagging him.
Kylo Ren took slow, steady breaths, his chest heavy and tight. He ran his tongue over his cracked lips and moved his hand over his face, shielding his eyes as he slowly opened them. A blurred light hung above him, and he couldn't resist smiling as he wondered if this was the death that he had coming for him. People always spoke of seeing a bright light after dying; how ironic it was that it appeared before him as well considering he had spent much of his life escaping from it to seek the darkness.
What felt like hours seemed to pass as he lay there, waiting for his eyes to adjust to what was before him, and slowly, shapes of tall trees and a clear, night sky took form. He propped himself up by his elbows and clutched at his rib cage. Immense pain but nothing broken. There was that to be grateful for at least.
As he stood up shakily, he scanned the environment uncertainly, his head still buzzing in confusion. The last thing he could remember was his ship being hunted down by the Resistance and being forced into a wormhole. The experience was excruciating in both mind and body as his body seemed to be torn apart and jumbled memories played before him. He could see all the things he didn't want to, events that had already happened, scenes that were imagined but haunting.
And the next thing he knew, he had awoken in the dirt alone.
Where his crew was, he held no idea. He wasn't even sure where he was. Ren had never seen a planet like this before. His only option was to wander in hopes of finding a Storm Trooper.
