He was falling, fast.
And burning, falling and burning.
Yet he wasn't dying.
How he hated immortality.
He was facing away from the earth, his arms were above him being pulled down with his body. He could not see them burning, his eyes had been damaged by the atmosphere hours ago, or has it even been that long?
He was sure he had been unconscious for awhile and he was falling in and out of consciousness now.
Pain will do that to you.
Searing heat was eating at his back. His quills, already scorched, no longer protecting the vulnerable flesh beneath. From the sudden lack of feeling in his legs he was very sure that part of his spine was now burning with the rest of him.
Chaos it hurts. Why couldn't he just die?

Ah... His body was regenerating rapidly now, healing the wounds with the elements in the air and becoming more resistant to burning. Being the ultimate life form his body would change according to his environment faster than any other being. Unfortunately he would not be able to move for a long time. His body would still need nutrients to keep him...Alive wasn't the right word...Awake maybe...yeah...Awake.
...
...
...
His body had turned over, he was facing the ground now and it was coming up fast. His eyes had regenerated for a moment that's how he knew.
He rolled over again in the sky his back to the earth again.
If he was going to hit the ground at this speed he would rather break his spine then all his ribs. He didn't heal perfectly all the time.
This was going to hurt.

What could only be described as a small comet fell down from the sky. The shadowy object continued its decent to the earth at an alarming rate, there was no doubt it would create a small crater where it would land.
Where it was heading there was no water to soften the fall, no trees to slow the decent. It would crash in to a small clearing in the forest unnoticed.
--
The burning feeling was gone but he knew pain would return.
The ground was so close now.
A single sigh was released then...
A loud thud echoed along with the sound of bones snapping and ripping through flesh as his body hit the ground. It rebounded for a moment; a trail of leaking blood following the movement, almost pausing in mid air his expression was captured. His jaws were open in a soundless scream of pain, red eyes were open wide in shock, his back arched as the agony rushed over his body like a pounding waterfall. Then...
The body dropped and crumpled, the eyes closed, the jaws no longer forming a scream, consciousness was lost.
A fragment of skull rocked back and forth on the ground where it fell, blood slowly drained from the body.
Just like his memories.
