"Rhys, no! Stop it!"
But I failed to look away. Fingers of that impossibly overwhelming light reached my eyes, grasped my face - no one could help but face the source.
Only one crystallized tear fell from his eyes before the light swallowed me up.
And I could only manage a choking cry before my mind became deaf.
=====================================================
=====================================================
"Augh! Quit it!"
Almost as though it had a goal to disturb my directionless stumbling, my hair kept sweeping forward as the breeze bid it to blanket my eyes. And again, I scraped it back, again cutting at my skin with my thick nails.
After my mind had deafened, I'd since come to realize that the sun beating down on me wasn't the one of my era. And it couldn't possibly sister the moon of my era, either. It was ugly, and hurt my eyes to look at - unlike Aeinda (Ae-ee-in-duh), the sun of my era. She simply glowed when she knew she was being admired, and was subtle in all her beauty at all times.
I'd also since come to realize that I'd been covered with something. Nothing like this had I ever come across from whence I came. Seeming of a soft material, it was boring. And unlike the admirable hair dancing off my shoulders, it wasn't bright. It was plain and it, too, was ugly. It hung from my shoulders and stopped(abruptlye) at my thighs. On my planet, everything was out to the naked eye - to prove that there wasn't anything to hide. Besides, there wasn't ever a need for anything like this. The strongest urge had come over me to just rip it off my body the moment my eyes caught it, but I decided it was there for a reason and left it.
In any case...this sun, being its ugly self, decided to act as insensitive as Leylana (Lay-lah-nuh) always had, and presented it's heat to this plain. Which, I must mention, wasn't lush and bright, as Nede (Nee-day) was always. It was, instead, grainy, and painful to walk on. I suppose the pain was the sun's fault - warming the land so much that it, in turn, adopted that heat. But I hated it nonetheless.
As I said, I'd been wandering without a direction. I'd noticed ripple after ripple of huge mounds as far as not only my eye could see, but as far as my mind could trace. Eventually, a huge boulder came into my detection. As I scurried in its general direction, I tried to bring it into focuse in my mind. I found that it had been hollowed out (though not by any live being - perhaps it had always been hollowed out, since Before) and at least fifty of me could fit within it.
A hot breath released my throat and eventually my eye spotted it. I scurried over and ducked inside. Here, the heat wasn't so brutal - at least, it was still hot, but the sun couldn't see me. And the ground didn't burn my feet anymore, it was cool now. Sighing, I sat down against a side, and then slid until my head felt the grains beneath me. I closed my eyes, and splayed my hair beneath me as a padding. Well, this'd do until someone came and saved me and took me back to Nede. Until then...well, I'm not sure what. But I guess I'd have to make do, wouldn't I?
