'It was dark, and I was terrified. Hubris was my downfall, that I was untouchable, that I thought we would fuck with the Nathrezim's best laid plans without consequences. Suddenly my shadows weren't the only shadows stalking behind me, no longer the only things that crept around me. I was taken, and I was afraid. Afraid not of the pain they'd suffer me for my arrogance, but that I would never see the things that matter most to me in my life, never see him again. Afraid that my dreams would twist into nothing but nightmares.
They kept me stressed out, replaying one of the worst times of my life over and over in my head...making me re-watch and re-experience the destruction and near death of my body. It was days that we were trapped in that dimension in the Nether, but it felt like so much longer for me. Time made no sense nor had any meaning, eventually I lost all sense of where I even was, lost in the ghosts of that terrible dream.
But then I awoke, and he was there. The morning light casting away the demons of my soul, the fire in my heart and the sweet dreams of my mind. He saved me, rallied love and friendship, rallied those closest to me and saved me -came after me in the depths of that nightmare. Risked life and sanity for me. It'll be some time for any of us to recover from the Nathrezim worming their way in our minds, drawing out the worst parts of ourselves, dragging them out in the open air; but I have hope that we will. We have each other.'
