Dark. Very... dark...
Why... why can't I see? Where am I...?
Bump. Bubump. Bump. Bubump. Bump. Bubump. Bump. Bubump. Bump. Bump. Bubump. Bump....
A feeling of weightlessness seemed to consume his body, wrapping tendrils of nothingness around his body, bringing an atmosphere of suffocation upon him. His heartbeat had returned to normal, at least. But still... he felt death close in upon him. Creeping ever closer to his soul, to take his final breath.
He couldn't think. He couldn't breathe. What did the book tell him? What did the kitsune say? There had to be something...! Something important.... Isaac tried to remember what had happened and where he was. The memories slowly trickled back. His tail being grabbed. His finding the book. Falling and blackness in the garden. Then flames surrounding and singeing him. Voices both dangerous and benign. Pain. And then the blackness.
I have to get back to the beginning. With a conscious effort, Isaac tried to peer into the darkness, hoping to discern his whereabouts. Then... he saw a small crimson light, blinking in rhythm to his heartbeat. If by a gravitational pull, Isaac began to float towards it, and as he did so, breath began to fill his lungs. He breathed in cold, piercing air. He coughed lightly as the swirling air burned within his chest. Yet, he continued until the warmth of life in his heart began to permeate his being.
Now what...? I got here with help. How am I going to get out of here without help...? I've gotta think of everything... If I'm at my heart, then how'd I get here from my brain...? Perhaps a trip on the aorta? No... Considering that I haven't seen a single vein or artery anywhere, I'll have to assume my body isn't itself right now. I've just got to keep moving forward. Floating past the crimson, beating light, he kept moving.
Again he was within the darkness, but it was of a different type. There was warmth beginning to permeate his whole being, and he had begun to feel more tangible. More feeling his way than seeing, Isaac made his way onward and upward until he could suddenly float no more.
His eyes opened wide. A dead end? How can there be a dead end in my body? Turning himself about, something glinted in the extremities of his vision. A small crack that glowed with a faint azure hue. Slowly drifting towards the opening. And once inside the crevice, blue light showered over his being. And within that blue light, a voice called out to him.
"So, my victor, I supposed as a gift for besting me, I would make sure you could find your way out. I will go back to living in one of your tails after you have exited and begin taking care of your other tail. It hasn't yet awakened but when it does, its powers will need to be looked over. You have shown you will do what it takes to protect others from yourself, and that you have the will to sacrifice everything, if need be. You have the potential to do great things, and I know that your mother would tell you the same." And so the voice faded into obscurity, leaving Isaac more confused than ever. But there was no time to lose, and Isaac forged through into the center of the blue light, loosing sparks of gold, crimson, and azure.
Then pain shot through his body, blackness surrounded him, and blood escaped from his mouth as he let loose a haggard cough. Frost shook loose from his fur as he trembled from the pain in his chest. His body convulsed for a moment, then grew at once at peace. His eyes fluttered open, then... a whisper...
"Well, at least I'm alive... even... if I don't really feel like it.... whew..."
