Everything was so gray and cold . The only color that blinked was the registered energy of the golden man. His presence was warm and engulfing. Though no part of me could will my eyes open . It was as though my mind had frozen in some sort of state . The whispers of the beast still rolled softly up my body as if it was burnt into my chest cavity . Every part of my body fought to move or even just blink. To no avail . I sunk deeper into the icy darkness with no hope to cling on.
Roars in my ears , making my head feel as though it was made of glass and almost at shattering point. My dreams were filled with my monster coming to haunt me yet again. Each life I lived forever doomed to hunt or be hunted. Yet as I pondered my fate something glowing and full of heat brushed my face and in a moment I was yanked back to the present. Blinking slowly and wiggling my fingers possibly to check if all were in tact. The golden man was actually human sitting there grinning at me . His brown eyes dancing with amusement. Way younger than originally thought. He brushed his fingers across my cheek again and golden and green sparks filled the room. Snapping and popping. I withdrew quickly ,suprised ...in which he didnt seem to register any sight or ability.
From personal experience it was highly unusual for someone gold to not see or have a known ability especially given his age and stature. He ignored my stares and handed me a bowl of something warm. In that moment even I had no idea the significance it would hold . All I saw was a fire, some warmth, and better company than my tragedy and demons.
