Description
My eyes opened in a flash. The world seemed to be a void of black, and there was a tight constriction on my arms and chest. I reached out, trying to feel with my fingers. Ah, what I sensed was the rough feeling of unpolished stone on all sides. I leapt to a conclusion, though a logical one considering the (probably?) recent past: A tomb. I was in a tomb. That's okay though -- I had been in worse circumstances. With as perfectly fit as the tomb was, I couldn't use strength to push off the top. Luckily, I used to be quite good at magic. I breathed in, focusing my thoughts, and, with a will for unrelenting force, blasted the tomb's casing away. It shattered against the ceiling, letting a dim light flood my vision. I was free. I looked around, seeing the carvings that were traditional to my people. Yes, it was coming back to me now: The Council hadn't heeded my warnings; they created it anyway, seeking power, but finding only ruin. In the last minute, I had sealed myself away within this tomb, hoping to preserve my race -- I defied the end of the world. I pressed my hand to the door with one question in my mind: What was I about to find outside?
