Blissful

Dyon's consciousness was swarmed by black. He had no concept of time or space, he only felt like reality was fleeting and without form. 

Oddly, though, he felt everything was clearer in this state. It felt completely unlike what one should have felt after burning their soul. 

According to convention, there should have been an itching pain in his chest and his head. It should have felt like millions of tiny corpse beetles were tearing through his soul, devouring it for their own consumption. In the end, his soul would shatter and fall, leading to his death. 

However, Dyon suddenly remembered that the last time he burnt his soul, he hadn't felt like that either. In fact, just like this time around, he was able to walk around for several hours before he finally collapsed into a coma. On top of that, he was actually able to wait around for several days this time.
