And just like that - She faded out. The world<em>unraveled</em>...Or rather, Delphine herself was unraveling, her flesh pulled apart in shimmering strands of essence, unspooling from her form! The sensation was a painless one, only a spreading numbness and an<em>absence</em>of anything more...!<br/><br/>Delphine's consciousness tumbled through the half-real, formless tides of the aether, her senses dimming to nothing as her awareness of her<em>self</em>seemed to fade. It wasn't remotely like falling asleep, though sleep would ever elude her: It was as if the being she'd<em>become</em>on the mortal plane didn't translate perfectly to the realm from whence she'd come, higher thoughts diminishing to nothing...<br/><br/>Astral claws sank into the first thing that drifted past her, borne on the tides. The-thing-that-had-been-Delphine killed and ate, fed and fled, through the ghostly tides of the empyrean. It had little to do with conscious thought - Such things marked only the passage of time.<br/><br/><em>A sound, a presence, a sense, from far, far away...</em><br/><br/>And as was only natural, Delphine swept towards it.<br/><br/>**<br/><br/>Without warning, she was<em>back</em>. She was *back*.<br/><br/>The weight of the world settled on Delphine, all over again - A rush of relief coming with the rush of sensation! She stared down at her hands - She had *hands* again! - even through the gloom of the fading light...Her violet eyes widening, just so!<br/><br/>"Mas-" Delphine began, and caught herself just in time...Dipping her head in a nod, as she sniffed the air - Her brow furrowing, as she peered into the gloom! The lovely Eidolon could, after all, see in the dark - And there might be something else out there!<br/><br/>"I can see," she murmured, almost to herself - Tilting her head back, her slim fingers curling into claws. If there was something out there...She'd be the first to see it! This was a *bad* place.<br/><br/>
