I haven't slept this well in so long. It feels like a breath of fresh air. My back was laying against the cloth of the sleeping bag that I shared with Catra.
It was so relaxing. So much so that I just wanted to stay there forever.
I could imagine that Catra was thinking the same as she stayed huddled close to me.
...
My hand would drop to the ground beside my head, but I figured the floor of the palace was a bit more concrete than that.
It felt weird. Almost as if it was similar to the texture of the blankets. At first, I didn't pay it any mind.
But I felt something else, oddly enough.
A gust of wind.
...
...
My ears fluttered, though my eyes remained shut. Maybe I was just getting used to being back and my senses were off.
However, I felt the wind hit me again, and forced myself to wake up. I didn't want to but had to if I wanted to understand what was going on.
When I did, I was met with the darkness of the night sky above me. Stars were slowly moving across the clouds as another wind gust blew by.
I was lying flat on my back, the cloth from earlier replaced by blades of grass and dirt.
...
What...?
...
I sat up, taken aback. I couldn't be here. Not again.
What was going on? That was the first question that rang through my head as I tried to make sense of where I was.
It felt real. Maybe it was. My hands pressed against the ground, feeling how soft the grass was beneath my feet. It was exactly how I remembered it.
I could hear the sounds of the spirits whispering around me as I glanced around, trying to pinpoint the source.
"Hello!?"
...
...
What...? What's happening?
Am I...?
No. This isn't real.
This is a dream.
...
...
I didn't want to believe that I was back in the woods. Not by a long shot.
So, I took it upon myself to start venturing on, following the voices. They seemed to grow distant with each step I took. It felt impossible, like I wasn't getting anywhere.
My walk would speed up into a run, and I tried to bound through the woods, hoping that I'd wake up and be by Catra's side.
But I wasn't.
...
"No."
"No, no, no, no..." I would repeat, desperate.
...
The only explanation I could think of was that maybe this was just a bad dream. Maybe this was just my mind playing tricks on me.
