Why is it so damn bright in here?! "Light..." Eyelids opened to show bright, bottle-green eyes. A hand as pale as snow lifted slowly, and the fingers of that hand slowly curled into a fist. The hand shielded those bottle green eyes, and the owner of that hand and those eyes slowly sat up. Stabbing pain shot through the head, and a feminine voice cried out in severe pain. Raising shaking hands, the woman moved them around until she felt several pliable tubes. Her fingertips ran down the tube, until she felt where they had been placed into his head as her temples, over her ears, and down his body.

Fear and confusion coursed through her body, and she yanked the tubes and their needles from her body, grinding her teeth against the pain. She stood to her feet, and she went immediately onto her hand and knees. She looked at her hands, watching as tiny trails of blood ran down her arms and legs. After a moment, she stumbled to her feet and finally realized that she had no clothes on. Stumbling over to a door, she opened it and found herself in a room with a bunch of monitors, displaying a lot of information that made no sense to her. She turned and blinked in surprise, seeing that there was a large window that allowed her to see into the room she had been in.

Shrugging it off, she went through another door and found herself in a room full of strange clothes. Not wanting to be naked anymore, she walked over and just pulled random shit off their holding places, and pulled it on. Running her hands through her hair, she turned and went through the only other door she hadn't already went through. When she stepped outside, bright grey light blinded her, and she almost tripped over a large chunk of concrete. Shaking her head, she pulled a ribbon she had picked up, and wrapped it over her eyes. It blocked a lot of the light, but she could still see where she was going. There was a scene of massive devastation in front of her, and as she walked through the miles of ruins, she could hear crystal crunching under her boots.

- - SIXTEEN YEARS LATER - -

Yaina sighed as she gently wiped off her forehead, having been walking for three days now. She closed her eyes and continued to trudge forward. After what seemed like forever, she bumped into someone and immediately apologized, turning and quickly running, soon realizing that she was in a town. Looking around at all the inns, none of them seemed to have vacancies, she trudged off to the nearest bar. She entered and sat down at the bar itself, barely able to keep herself upright. She looked up and spotted a woman behind the bar. "Can I have some water? Biggest glass you got."
