Your sleep slowly fades
Your body cold with a biting wind that cuts through you
Not wind, but chilling current
You open your eyes and see nothing but shadow
And your arms move sluggishly
Against the familiar icy waters
That portent the prying will of your patron
Your heart rate begins to race and jump
Knowing what this brings
And as that fear wells up into your throat
You hear the familiar voice call from the darkness
Return
The orb that remains embedded within your body
Shines through the skin like a dull lantern
You look up from your chest
To see the gargantuan lid of the familiar
Spotlight-like yellow eye
You try and look to the right or left
But you are locked in on this singular slitted pupil
You're unable to turn away
The panic begins to build and the voice says
Release
♪
This heavy resonant tearing sound
Begins to fill the space around you
As tendrils begin to emerge
From the pupil of the giant eye
Snaking vines pushing through it
Pulling the eye apart from the center
An emerald light pouring through the gaping hole
Warming the waters around you
A slew of emotions fill your mind
Warm, amorphous, but comforting
And evoking ideas that become words
Come with me, child
