Awake to Consciousness

His eyes damp from his tears, clothes caked with grime and oil from head to toe. a mop of dirty black hair sat atop his head sparkled with glitters of cyan hues, his eyes once wet with sadness now held firm to a new hope that laid before him. a fire was burning behind those eyes as they stared into the once lifeless abyss that were her's. As comander Vessi was roused from her lackluster state of exsistance, her real consciousness brought back from the abysmal void of robotic actions and apathy without feeling. she saw the world so different from what she expected, so long had it been since she last cast a thought into the winds. The ideas racing and coursing through her brain foren and new scarred her, not the primal fear she felt before their leader, but a despair and dread over her mere Exsistance that shook her to her core. her only reprieve from sinking into the madness of emotions, of guilt and remorse over her past actions.the child who lied before her cluching her in his arms weakly, lacking the strength to grip her shaking figure to calm her, but enough to show her something more. a care she had never felt, after some time they both calmed themselves Vessi's eyes so filled with rage and regret swirling in her mind."why are we like this!" she cried out not to the boy but to the world, "we are a scourge a black blot of hate on a sosmos so full of wonder WHY!"

"shh shhh shh it's okay it's only natural to feel like this, this is good this is 'normal'" his words reached her ears like a cacophony of wonder. looking into his eyes was a hope clouded with insanity."that bastard thinks he can take our lives, take our wills, and plaster us with machines till we turn into mindless husks that will do his bidding. no more for you," his eyes peirce into Vessi down to her very soul so weak and forgotten they thought it to be lost."You Vessi are the proof, we can wake them up! we can free them of this curse and we can destroy him!" a flame lit up in his eyes threatening to burn his very soul to a crisp" we will put this Tyrant down if it's the last thing we do!"
