"What just happened..?"
Disorientated, I looked around, properly analyzing where the sky had dumped me.
The landscape reminded me of a blue canvas ornates with shards of obsidian dotting the landscape here and there.
"What even is blue? What's wrong with my head…?"
I stumbled forward, my vision disoriented, while scouting for a proper place to sit. Unfortunately, every rock littering the terrain was either too small or pointy enough to make me bleed did.
"Wait?! My back"
My hands quickly flew to the familiar area but still hesitant after the first attempt.
"The…The wounds gone?"
Patting it down again to ensure that it had in fact disappeared, my suspicions were confirmed.
I quickly recalled the pain I felt while plummeting and winced, reminded of the torturous pain. "That pause in falling had made the pain bearable. I wonder who, or what just saved me?"
Quickly thanking whatever had healed her and caused that stillness in time, she made her way to a crevice on a distant cliff-side.
"I need a place to regain my thoughts… somehwere safe."
When she had landed the air around her felt disturbed. As if an incoming storm was coming, but she had sensed it approaching before a drop had even fallen.
"What was that… why do I feel scared if I don't reach that cave fast enough?"
She picked up her pace, but along the way she realized that the terrain was filled with countless crevices and many gruesome ways to die if one stumbled hard enough.
'I should be careful…'
Soon she arrived, but she realized the crevice was much higher than she assumed.
"Of course it's that damn high!"
She rolled her eyes then pulled her sleeves up to reduce the heat a bit.
"Starting to miss the cold wind."
Grumbling, she started her climb, but was immediately interrupted by a deep growl behind her.
"Please tell me that's because I'm hungry…"
She turned her head around fast but turned it back forward even quicker.
"Nope, nope, nope!"
Catching only a glimpse was all she needed to speed up her climb manyfolds, surprising even herself that she knew how to climb this well.
"GrehhhhAhhhhh!!!"
And the sound of stomps that periodically crushed the ground told her that the monster had found her. Thankfully, it was near the area she had landed, buying her precious time.
Recalling her brief sight she realized that the monster would have a horrible time trying to climb for its body would be horrible for anything but dismembering. With scythe-shaped frontal limbs and 2 short, yet muscular hinds legs it seemed to be created for chasing down prey before quickly cleaving them into pieces.
"That doesn't help Hope!"
She scolded herself. At that moment she realized at that she had just recalled her name.
The sudden new knowledge forced her to pause as her head lit on fire and shook her vision. However, that pause was all that was needed to make an error, for her hands, which firmly grasped the edge of the cliff now started fumbling as she lost grip on one of them.
