Sunil Seva
Entrance to the Necropolis
Sunil walked through the deserted area, naked as the day he was born. He felt dazed, as his feet scratched against the grainy soil. Feet...? he glanced at it for a moment, wondering. How long has it been since he was in this form? Give or take a few decades. He felt like a toddler on his first few steps, one feet moving a few distance at a time. He only remembered the pain, the horrible headache as he felt like a part of him snapped. No, not snapped. It was ripped off. And the next thing he knew... he was walking here. Errol was nowhere. He felt confused. His Master was the one who bound him... is he now simply gone? Finally dead? He couldn't tell. But it was likely. So now... what should he do? Where should he go?
It was supposed to be a moment of freedom. But he was lost. Lost in the sea of uncertainty. He doesn't have a purpose now. He wanted a purpose. He needed a purpose. At his very core, he felt like he was going to go crazy, and his feet was keeping him walking still. Towards... where? Where is he? Where's Errol and Xena? As fond as he was of the two, he knew he could not stay with them any longer. He didn't know why. But he needed to go somewhere. He can feel it. Somewhere here was his destination. He felt drawn. To something, to someone...
In a few moments, all his questions were answered. There, at the distance, he stood. That's him, it was no doubt. He'd never forget that face. It was the one who first greeted him out of the darkness. "Hi'dric..." he murmured. Then... that means he is well. That means the Circle is still alive. After all these years, they thrived. He was walking faster now, closer towards him, even though he was still so far into the distance. He knew what he was supposed to do.
Live for the Circle and die for the Circle. That's right. How could he have forgotten? His decades with his previous Master, performing acts of pointless malice and selfishness had corrupted him to forget what was pure. It's Aditi's cause. That was Hi'dric's wishes. His maker's wishes.
Next time, he won't forget. Not anymore.
