Blood sluggishly drooled through heart chambers made fragile by time's merciless abrasion. Involuntarily, muscle groups twitched about as the soul returned to the body, flailing appendages hither and thither, testing their renewed animation. To complete the Waking, into his brain rushed memories of having no memories."PExistence is not supposed to be optional in this flat, polytheistic world - it is the dictate of Etre, one of the world's three founding gods.
