Ellianor felt as if he crossed the emptiness itself. His body floated in the endless shadows, his eyes closed as the waves of dark carried him away and to further lands.
If it could be called lands.
No pain or discomfort, no hurt or thought. Just the humming shadows, content to exist as they always did.
Humans were taught to fear the darkness. They feared the unknown on an instinctual level.
It was calm, it was peaceful.
For the first time in long years, Ellianor came home, to a place where his heart lay.
It felt like he had completed a long journey to return to that place. He could float for eternity in the ocean of shadows around him, but he would always know how to come back.
He smiled, his being felt whole, without a single stretch with a single crack, or a part of it overflowing.
