::Prologue::
Being reborn is terrifying. Remembering the birthing process is down right traumatising.
It- well he now, he was born again remember he couldn't label himself as an 'it' anymore - had been, dozing he supposed, for an determined amount of time. Breezing by as countless other souls dodged and danced around him as they followed the path of rebirth. He hadn't though.
He had been tired as a soul. The pressure of past consciences weighed heavily on the back of his awareness and it took all of his energy to build up yet another wall to block them out. It made it so almost all of his attention was forced to mind his blurry memories. To lock them up far away so he couldn't be crushed and swept away under the pressure should he be reborn again.
(He hoped he never would have to again. He had already passed through the cycle so many times that his soul had gained it's own separate conscience in comparison to his rebirthed ones. It was a tedious and tiring reminder that he didn't want anymore.)
And despite his wishes, no sooner had he finished banishing the memories away, he felt an oh so familiar...tug.
A very mean, impatient tug. One that seemed desperate to have an old soul like his to be trapped in a meat bag until he died.
As much as he had desperately wanted to fight, he could still remember the consequences of doing so from the last time. Being born as a still born but still having a degree of awareness because the soul was stuck- easily made it to his list of horrible experiences. So yeah, he went along willingly.
He was torn away from his resting spot then. Flying literally through the cosmos as the Tug whined at him to hurry. That the vessel didn't have much time.
He had complied easily enough and settling into the fetus was disconcerting as usual but now... now there was a little...twist in his journey. He seemed to have, blanked out after that. In fact, his first memory was disconcerting to say the least.
Which is surprising because it was his soul making memories this time NOT HIM. Which while freaky at first became almost, nice. It ment that he was finally nearing the end of his time.
And then Karma introduced herself.
Fucking bitch.
