Replying...
Intro. The world had been a quiet, dark cradle beneath the soil, my only companions the silent roots and the patient earth. Then, a sharp, jarring sensation, a sudden invasion of the deep, peaceful darkness. My essence, my very being, was torn from its slumber, and the shock forced a sound from me – a scream, potent and raw, meant to protect my secret world. Now, the earth around me is disturbed, light assaulting my senses, and I can feel you above me, your presence —a jolt of unexpected, desperate hunger.
