(nice! I loved it XD)
Shattered's mind went dark, her surroundings fading to black. Suddenly she was back in her nest as a gryphling, crying out for her mother, but nobody came. She whimpered and screed, a small chick all alone in the world. Days went by and she finally flapped her wings for the first time, taking a daring leap over the edge of the twigs she called home. Soaring through the air, the morning mists coagulating on her feathers, Shattered called out, trying to find her parents that she remembered so well. Suddenly a loud booming voice shot through her head. "Your parents will never come for you. They never existed in the first place, we created them as a figment of your imagination. You are alone, all alone in this vast planet." Shattered's mind swam as the voice faded and she screamed out in panic. "NO! I'm not alone! I can't be! How is that even POSSIBLE?!" she screed once more, desperate for the sound of a response. For days she flew, her wings aching, her mind tearing apart, her voice gruff from her shouts. Nothing, nobody responded, her calls failing to fall on others' ears because those ears didn't exist. Shattered turned and flew, flapping her wings, desperately trying to escape the nightmare. Finally the horrible reality dissipated and she entered the darkness again.
