"Veronica," called a voice that sounded like someone trying to coax a caged animal their way. "Wake up, Veronica. Open your eyes now."
Groaning, I pried my eyelids apart. I was greeted by a black void, Shun standing on nothing with a friendly smile. He was the only source of light that I could see, his cloths and eyes giving off a slight silver glow. His appearance was exactly the same as earlier today.
"Where am I?" I asked, still a little dazed.
"You, my dear, are the first outsider to be brought to Cupviji, a.k.a. Limbo, a.k.a. Nowhere. This is the place that was the beginning of us Xucmbij. Before any other dimension was created, Cupviji started to form. Upon discovering more places, we grew distant, greedy. Our world was torn apart with conflict. Literally, all the glory of the Mother Dimension was erased. Where we are now is all that's left of Her."
"But why am I here? Last thing I remember was…" I trailed off, not quite certain if being run over was just a dream, but the pain had felt so REAL.
"You're right," he replied brightly. "A car did a hit-and-run, so I saved you in the only way I could: I erased your human heritage, replacing a few key aspects that will allow you move freely between worlds. You're welcome~"
My mouth fell in surprise. He made it sound like a normal event, as if people got pulled out of death by fruity emo kids on a regular basis. Maybe they did around him and his flamboyant 'Edward Cullins' race.
"Does that mean I'll die if I go back?"
"Most likely, yes."
"You don't know for sure?"
"Not a clue. As I've said, you're the first."
"..You knew that would happen, didn't you? That's why you approached me when you did. If you waited any longer, I'd have been killed."
Shun simply shrugged his shoulders, bored by the turn in topics.
"Something like that… Anyways, I took the liberty of choosing the dimension for you. I hope you don't mind." A vortex-like oval popped up out of nowhere, blues and greens blurring together so much that you could barely distinguish them from one another. "When you arrive, you may feel a little *coughalotofcough* pain and such and some.. 'mild' discomfort."
"Wait," I said, confusion not allowing me to understand that last part. " 'Some mi-' "
Before I could finish, he shoved me into the swirling portal. I hadn't noticed he had moved. My brain was confident that he was in the same place, out in front of me, waving with a genuine smile wishing me well. So who pushed me?
That question wouldn't be answered any time soon as a feeling not unlike vertigo made it so that it felt like my stomach was left behind kinda like a rollercoaster ride.
