Description Suzuya struggled in and out of consciousness. She could barely tell where she was, sometimes she knew she was in her house, but other times the landscape in front of her was foreign. Finally she jolted awake, her body was no longer achy nor did she feel sick as she did, looking around her, however, she had absolutely no clue where she was. It was dark, the world around here pitch black with columns of something in the distance. Her hooves were submerged slightly in what she assumed was some kind of murky water with an almost swamp like sludge texture. Mist fluttered over the top of the water wrapping around some nearby columns.

Approaching it carefully she could finally see what these columns were made out of.  The one in front of her was a large fall of the same sludge on the floor moving and combining with the water below barely making ripples on the surface. Looking up to see where it was coming from, it seemed to almost be... the sky? Suzuya shuddered. How in Chii's name did she get here? She inhaled sharply through her nose and wished she didn't. She gagged almost vomiting at the smell. She had never experienced it her self, but she knew that this entire place reeked of death. She had to get out of here, she had no clue how she got here, or if someone brought her here but she new she had to go. She began moving, walking aimlessly for some sign of life or exit. Her inner compass was never good in the first place but there was no sign of where she was. Everything looked the same as she walked by it, that or she was moving in circles. 

"Hello?!" She called bringing her claws to cup around her mouth. "Anyone? Keeno? Kid? Where am I?" She whimpered calling out to those she knew, those who gave her comfort. Part of her wished they were here... wherever here was. Suddenly, she screamed as something with a hard grip latched around her hoof. As she moved back startled she swore she could hear something. Whispers, but she was to panicked to make out what they were. She screamed and yelled kicking it back down as she caught a glimpse of whatever it was. A hand? No, no it couldn't be, the water was barely up to her ankle. Then she heard the sound of something breaking the surface water, as her head jerked she confirmed what she had seen was no mere trick of her fear. Hands. They were coming up out of the water. 


Then she heard it. A sickly groan coming from her left, she turned her head, moving her hands to wrap around her chest out of fear. Her heart dropped at what she saw. Ghoulish figures rising from the water in front of her. The rancid odor was now indescribably repugnant now that the figures rose. They were sickly looking, hunched over and thin, groaning as the pushed themselves up the murky water. Their eyes, Suzuya shuddered at their eyes. Leaking and moving trying to stay attached to the shifting form of it's owners they were striking to Suzuya, and a sudden realization convinced her why. The one closest to her, the eyes they were almost... ringed. These creatures, they were wyngro, or something athat was a wyngro at one point. The ears on some, the spikes she had seen many with around necks, quads and bipeds, chii there were even wynglings. 

Soon many were above the water and they were beginning to walk forward in Suzuya's direction. She began backing up, then increased her pace only to watch as the creatures sped up with her. Her instincts clicked on as she then turned no longer looking at them running. She could hear the wet foot falls of the creatures behind her keeping in line with her, and practically going faster. In her perphiral vision she could see more, hands bursting out of the murky depths to try and trip her up. Magic, she had to use magic! She cried out trying not to tear up as that could ruin her vision as she felt a shudder go through her glands. She let out a cry as she felt something sickly rap around her throat and arm. She couldn't see it yet and looking down she catched the glimps of a tendril of black ooze, the same that was surrounding her wrap around her. She screamed stopping to try and rip the tendrils off. What in chii's name was this? Why was she here?! 

Her dark thoughts were stopped as she felt hands grab her, the tendrils she was grabbing at simply not there. It was a hallucination. They weren't real and now it had cost her. She felt her self loose balance as what ever had grabbed her pulled her down into the murk, her legs submerging as she tried kicking and fighting against them, screaming out for someone. Now she could truly hear the whispers she had heard earlier. "JoIN uS. FiNAL judgeMEnt. iT'S whaT wE EARNED. To YoUNG. YoU DOomed US ALL." She had to be dead, no reality could come up with this nightmare for her. This was her punishment, she thought. This is what she deserved for killing the Deelagun. Chii had judged her, and she could only struggle before another burst of power pulled her into the murk, now up to her waist. As she thrashed she saw something, that made the creatures surrounding her pause to look as well, only to continue to fight. 

Above her shimmering through the dark, was a light. There was a figure there, to far for Suzuya to make any details, aside from pointed wings and ears. The whispers seemed to die down as she heard a voice. "Hello? Aw, come on Lady I see your chest moving, wake up! Don't leave me yet, I don't want to have to drag someone else out of here! Please wake up." A sudden relief spread through Suzuya. She wasn't dead! She wasn't dead! This was a nightmare, but she had a feeling she must have been dying. Her new effort was found a bit to late as she got a burst of the murky liquid up her nose she coughed it out moving so that her head was above the water. She had to make it, this wasn't going to kill her, not yet anyway. The light above her brodened as she could see more of the figure now, a sword, hair armor, who was this? It wasn't anyone she recognized... either way, a stranger was better than here. She reached more trying to free herself from the murk. But the hands they kept pulling the light continuing to go out of reach. 

Then she woke up.
