Imortel 10.000 BCE Chapter 1 Part 2
The darkness seemed eternal, but somehow I was conscious. I felt cold and empty, as if nothing existed around me. After what felt like an endless amount of time, I saw light. My eyes opened, revealing that I lay at the bottom of a cliff. Though my body was covered in blood, I didn't feel any pain or discomfort.
I managed to stand up and examined myself. The blood on me indicated that I had been bleeding, but there were no visible wounds. It was clear that I was alive, but I couldn't understand how this happened since I remembered falling from the cliff and experiencing darkness.
Everything felt strange. I didn't know what to do or where to go next. My secret as a thief had been exposed, and I wasn't sure how they would react if they saw me alive. Maybe they would think of me as some kind of demon, maybe that was who I truly was – I couldn't tell either way. Back then I did know yet what I was.
I had no idea why I was still alive when I should have perished in the fall. So, with uncertainty in heart, I decided to do what seemed like my only option: migrate to a new area far away from the settlement where I lived. And so I did.
