Text
I woke up in the dark. Everything dark. Everything painful. Every breath in agony.
Waiting changed nothing. I started crawling. All the tunnels had changed. Not that I could remember the way out anymore.
I'd feel my way forward, finding dead end after dead end. Digging with my hands when I could. Hearing other things down there with me.
Eventually I found my way out and the sun returned. Everything changed. Green again. Brown and red and blue again. Life returned.
I could finally look at myself. Everything still hurt. I was broken. Flesh half gone. Joints missing. No leg. I can't remember what happened after the black sick reached my head.

It took me many years to regain my focus. Around me, humanity started to adapt and flourish again.
Unaware of their danger. I have set myself to work these past centuries. Though I am no scholar, no alchemist, my mind is strong. I have deciphered and learned much of what Jonas and the others already knew.
I intend to use that knowledge shortly to turn the tide. Perhaps that is why I now reminisce on those dark, painful years after the awakening. May this endeavor be more gentle for you, my friends.
