A dream? Shion looked out at the ice, as far as he could see in every direction. No land, no marking features. Just ice.
It was cold. Shion hugged his coat around him and began to think. This wasn't a normal dream, sensation was not this sharp in a normal dream, he should not feel cold like this. Something more than a dream then? It did not surprise him, they did not know how long the process of restoring their worlds would take, that something like this would happen was not outside of the realms of possibility. This was not the void, not the one Shion knew anyways. But the feeling of being somewhere not real and yet sort of real all at the same time was almost familiar.
He began to move, slowly and carefully. One foot, testing the ice, moving his weight. Second foot. Moving would warm him up.
He did not get very far because soon something caught his eye. Ice more pointed than the rest, crystal clear. Moving towards him. Another. They were moving fast.
Shion had no weapon, his eyes widened as he took in the incoming ice. He spotted a third some distance away but moving as quick as the others. Fear flooded him. He skittered backwards no longer cautious of the ice. Ice cracking was the least of his worries right now.
Creatures, coming towards him. Danger. He ran. Ice fins approaching, circling. His eyes darted round, looking for the best route before he got trapped. Forcing himself to keep thinking. To not panic. To find a way out.
Nothing about this dream had surprised him and the fact that it was turning into a nightmare was the least surprising of all. All of Shion's dreams were nightmares.
