Like macabre shooting stars, mories and fragnts of identity swirled in a maelstrom. The coalescence hardly ford before it was pulled from the space between spaces. A single fragnted mind within the maelstrom rose to the fore, fugue-like and confused as the forming body descended into a barren world whose crimson air pulsed with a bitter semblance of life.
The prone figure pushed upright, clawed hands sliding through red sand. Within them stirred the raw fury of cast-off, fragnted souls and their mind heaved. They shivered in the heat and fell back down into the sand, twitching. Within them, different shades of wrath fought and clawed and consud. A thousand small deaths later, a handful rose to the fore.
Among them, a bright spark of raw, righteous fury burned. But as it devoured the others, sothing nagged at it. A small flash: a narrow, but brilliant shining ray. A single mory of sothing other. What am I doing? What’s going on? I was just—
The fragnt of what once was, larger than the others, stalled and stumbled. In the span of a thought, the multitude that still raged fell upon it. Indescribable agony wracked its incorporeal form. Another fragnt, larger than the other small ones, pushed through and towered, triumphant over the fallen one.
The final blow never ca. Instead, the unique shard turned and shielded the largest fragnt. Struggling, the largest fragnt grabbed onto the blinding thread of that single, fragile mory and lashed out in a desperate bid to save its fated ally.
For what seed an age, the battled raged on and on. Seconds in one plane were an eternity in the body that twitched and spasd, kicking red sand across barren rocks even as the cloying, thrumming air of the plane seeped into its being. In the end, the two allied fragnts triumphed, but the smaller of the two began to crumble.
In the last monts before singularity, they embraced. And then, a single consciousness floated alone: confused, lost, and scared. They clung onto that sa ragged mory. As rage and fury threatened to consu all they had been, they clung on.
