Your last memory clings to the edge of oblivion—a sudden, sharp end, a final flash of sensation, then... nothing. The void has receded, but what replaces it is profoundly alien.
There is no body as you knew it. Instead, you perceive a strange, gelatinous sensation. Looking "down" reveals a shimmering, translucent blue mass. You are small, slick, and situated at the bottom of a damp, echoing space lit by faintly glowing crystals. You are a nameless newborn in a new world.
And then, in the silence of your new consciousness, a voice resonates, not through ears, but from the very core of your being—clear, precise, and perfectly calm.
