my head was killing me!
I sat up, holding it, my ears ringing as a stinging wave of pain assaulted my head, my blurry eyes taking a minute to focus.
I found myself in a large hole, it looked like something caused it, didn't look natural at all.
I tried to stand, but my legs gave out, feeling really weak, like they couldn't even hold my weight.
I started to panic, trying even harder to stand, only getting more and more flustered at every failed attempt.
but finally!
it took a while but after shimmying my way to the edge of the hole, which in ifself took so so long, hours maybe? the sky seemed darker and I was drenched in sweat, my wobbly knees threatening to give out again as I barely held myself against the wall.
I sighed, giving up, falling to my ass as I yelled out in frustration, something that surprised me, an odd rage was bubbling up, why?
no matter how hard I tried to think it didn't matter, everything was a blur.
I seemed to know about certain things like what noodles are, how to eat, how to walk, how to talk, and some other small things but nothing else, nothing personal.
it truly seemed like today was the first day I'd ever opened my eyes, something isn't adding up here.
I tiredly cast my glance to the now starred sky, some odd kind of light trying to from in front of me, a blinding pain nearly splitting my hesd in half, my body falling over and writhing on the ground, I didn't try to get up for a while after that.
it took me a while but uneasily I drifted in and out of sleep, voids filling in for where I could've sworn dreams would be, time passing slowly as I awoke many times, night taking forever to pass.
but finally! day!
the initial excitement didn't last long, my exhaustion breaking my spirit as I laid there motionless once again, my eyes barely open as my weakness only grew, my body felt like it hated the current situation, I wanted to say something about it but I didn't know what to say.
"this is bullshit."(syn)
my own voice surprised me, it didn't sound like me, which was odd.
the words that flowed effortlessly from my mouth were just thoughts, it seemed I probably used to say whatever I wanted in the moment, maybe a part of who I was.
but I don't know! anything!
out of frustration I gathered all the strength I had, punching the dirt and mud, my arm cracking, immediate pain, my bone poking from my forearm and my hand at an angle I didn't need memories to tell me was wrong.
I cried out, holding my arm, the pain only momentary as the bone vanished beneath my skin, my hand back to normal like nothing happened.
my other hand warily touching my arm, confusion the only thing I was feeling in the moment.

curse inflictor pov.....
DAMMIT!
I COULDN'T GET HIS POWER!
FUCK!
I threw my staff at the wall with rage, the gem on it cracking, my pathetic excised for "help" scurrying to grab and fix it, the useless undead skeletons only blundering as I ordered them from my sight with a roar.
this wasn't the plan, we were supposed to curse the God, take his power, then kill him.
I can't take power he doesn't have anymore!

primal mother pov.....
[essence of primal Syn forcefully cut off, essence returning to dormant automatic operation, unable to find mid tier primal calamity god Syn Ev]
my world began spinning as I panicked, this wasn't good!!
I've never had a system, this must be his, this is alot worse then I thought!
I sprinted over to a magic gem on my table, holding it in hand as I shouted in panic.
"SYN IS MISSING, FIND HIM!"(primal mother)
the gem stopped its glow, the essences of the primals beginning to move, searching, their clones spreading far and wide.
[you won't be able to find him]
I got startled, is this what Syn deals with? is this why he keeps zoning out all the time?
[yes, he won't be able to be located, in all terms now he's human, aging, able to be killed easily, I can't access him]
FUCK!
in anger I threw all the things from my table, dishes and silverware clattering to the ground, some of it breaking loudly.
[find whoever cursed him, undo the curse, you have 30 years, he'll die after that, without his power or access to the life force of nature he'll die before he hits 50]
the situation was getting worse and worse every second.
[he won't look the same, but know this, undoing the curse will reveal his location and restore him]
how are we ever gonna be able to find who cursed him?
[look for Syns aura, it will be faint but it will be sealed in a jewel, he doesn't have alot of time]
and with that the voice cut out, probably unable to say anything further, a hint of worry in the otherwise robotic female voice.
I couldn't stop myself from sinking into a nearby chair, the weight of the situation crushing me, if I didn't do something a primal, a key primal at that, would die, and I'd have no idea where his body is to find a successor.

kind human family father pov.....
I had been traveling with my kids and wife for the past few days, the road getting more and more cracks as we went down it, before long those cracks gave way to something else.
a large crater triple the size of our home blocked our path, my kids groaning while my wife pulled me aside, lowering her voice.
"there's someone down there."(wife) said, making sure our kids didn't over hear.
I nodded, asking her to distract while I moved to our cart, removing my climbing gear and moving silently to the hole, repelling down quickly, my kids didn't seem to notice.
before me was a young man, collapsed near the wall of the hole, he looked skinny, extra skin like he used to have muscles was all over his body, his face sunken and his eyes had dark circles under them.
carefully I picked up the young man, strapping him onto my back and beginning to ascend the hole, succeeding.
silently I climbed up and over the lip of the hole, sneaking the young man onto our cart while I stashed my gear.
my kids didn't need to know about this, they would get a bit too excited and this boy didn't seem like he needed hundreds of questions and two people unaware of what personal space was.
