Her slumber was plagued with visions of her past. The wretched memories of many years ago before she had become the psychotic and self-driven creature she was today. It had been centuries since she had felt suck feelings of compassion and remorse. It made her squirm and spasm in her sleep, her mind desperately trying to remove itself from the dream-induced state the Existence Sedi had been reduced too.
Silent screams spread over her face as she cried out, hearing the name she had been given at birth. No one had spoken her name since she was cast out of her village ages ago, and in actuality she had almost completely forgotten it. The sting of the word was almost more than she could bear, and now it seemed as though she could not rely on her element in these twisted dreams. The Illusionist was alone in this hell.
As she slept, her body began to twist and contort, and soon she was in as much pain physically as she was emotionally. Slowly her figure began to expand, her tiny body stretching into the proper height and build it once was. Muscles tensed and strained, veins popping out of her skin as she writhed in agony, the dreams still flashing through her mind. Tiny trickles of tears dripped from her eyes, but still she would not wake.
Then suddenly she took a deep breath, purple eyes flashing open. Her head pounded violently and she felt dizzy, her vision blurred as the struggle to regain consciousness seemed epic. Clumsily she climbed to her feet, the War Room inside the High Keep of Sethia becoming visible. Her eyes seemed to flash, and the images that had just taken place flooded her mind, the Illusionist taking it all in one more time.
Narrowing, her eyes shifted to the doorway of the War Room, a snarl spreading over her lips. She no longer felt the pulse from the Arc of Life, and like a pregnant woman craving chocolate she wanted that feeling back. It was calling to her, the seemingly insatiable feeling of immortality.
Silently she padded through the twisting corridors of the High Keep, her body flashing in and out of existence every time someone would walk by so that they would not see her movements. A scowl ceased her face and her eyes remained focused dead ahead as she found her way to the entrance of the keep. Shoving the doors open, she strode from the large structure, turning back only once to take it all in one more time.
“Vengeance will be mine, Sedi. I want my Arc back.”
The snarl spread back across her face again as she started walking forward into the city. With each step, the air around her seemed to shimmer and pop, like heat rising from a super heated surface. By the time she had reached the courtyard, her form was completely gone, the only thing being left in her wake her huge footsteps as if some giant had appeared in the courtyard and walked to the Keep.
She was on a mission.
