As my chest slid into Arkain's maw, all my thoughts, all my feelings dissolved away. I felt at peace for the first time in my existance. My body began to go limp. I could feel the grip of Arkain's tail begin to slacken around me, but I made no further atempt to escape. Strangely enough I could feel something moving inside the tail, but that question was moved away too as is slid further into the darkness.<br/>I could see people, my people...my friends, my family, all standing around me, some waving, some cheering, others with tearful eyes. My family were the most predominant persons, standing ahead of the group. My wife and two kids, looking happily at me, but tears around the edges of their eyes. No voices, no sound but clear images.<br/>I can remeber...<br/>Then, a burning sensation, drawing me away from the images. I was back, still in Arkian's throat, surrounded by the slimy pulsating walls. My arm was the source of this new sensation. energy was discharging from small vents along the length of the limb, crackling veins and bolts of pure energy leapt around, being absorbed by the walls of Arkain's gullet.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Oh well</span>I thought<span style="font-style: italic">I wasn't gonna use it anyways</span>
