I had another nightmare that night.
I dreamt that I was all alone in this strange world, with no one to accompany me. I walked around like a lost little child, the darkness slowing me down. It was as if someone had applied a vignette filter on a picture, and I was the sole cynosure. I staggered around in the dimly-lit palace corridors till I reached the two large wooden doors. In a state of desperation, I pushed them open, only to be received by more darkness and eerie stillness. No wind, no rustling of leaves, no clouds in the sky. Just...darkness.
