Welcome to Gaia! ::

Semuan-Ya found herself in a small ravine. It had been a mistake, a mistake of her arrogance to have left the cave she was at. But she had wanted to leave, to get away from where she had been imprisoned by the pain of her own body. It had hastened her move, which hadn't been prudent.

And now, she was laying in ravine, her wounds bleeding again and her energy sapped. There was no sound, but the blowing of the chill wind which caused the feverish chills to return. Maybe it was the delusion of the fever, but she thought she heard...bells?

Semuan-Ya heard the bells louder. There was no terror in her heart or mind, all she could think about was that this would be out it ended. At least it was where no one she knew could see. But in the mud, in this ravine...this was dishonour to die like this. She took a deep steadying breath, her body still unable to summon the strength to move. And the bells grew ever louder....

The bells were loud now, she was here. Death. She looked oddly different than how she imagined her. She wondered, if she would take her to the Great Mother? Would the Great Mother forgive her for leaving her sisters? She didn't know.

Taking a deep breath, she watched as the lips moved as she spoke about death so gleefully. Anger surged in her, and she lashed out with her teeth. She wanted to kill death, take it with her. Make the horrendous bells stop!

Struggling, she tried to get her feet under her to lunge again, but she fell back down. She could feel the cool blood seeping out of her wounds again.
