"No... you had one... but you forgot"
A low modulated voice rang into the darkness that consumed his mind as his consciousness began to twinkle, like a candlelight about to be blown off by the heavy wind of darkness.
'I had one?'
He did? There was never a time like that.
A small crack suddenly appeared in the thick darkness that loomed over Raith's mind and with that crack, the voice sounded again, this time with more clarity:
"My boy"
Raith's eyes slowly went dim, although his body managed to still respond, Omnisavant was handling that, her distant call of his name endlessly disappearing. She was quite adamant.
"My boy"
Again it sounded with an even better clarity.
Hearing the familiar voice, Raith's eyes shot open.
"Mother!!"
He shouted himself to live.
"Huh?"
The monster paused for a moment.
"Mother? Is that some human phrase of cry?"
He tilted his head.
