How long had it been?
Time was incomprehensible without the five senses to send input to the brain. Even with the mystical abilities of a practitioner, being completely deprived of sensation made it difficult to perceive the outside world.
After all, the perception of a practitioner, the awareness that all beings possessed, was an ethereal sense developed with the five bodily senses as a basis.
What would happen if one was made to forget what those base sensations felt like?
Naturally, they wouldn't be able to properly perceive the sensory input they gain through awareness, making the skill more harmful than helpful.
Alexandra found herself combatting this problem far sooner than she expected.
Even without senses or perception, she didn't expect her body clock to distort so rapidly.
Then again, she had no way of knowing the time in the first place.
For all she knew, it might've been years since she started walking.
