What was the first thing that came to mind when one heard the saying, 'life flashing before your eyes?'

Many would go for the literal route—where, at death's door, memories of your entire life would flash through your mind, especially the important ones.

Others might take the emotional route—where instead of just memories, you'd feel a flood of intense emotions tied to the moments and people that mattered most to you.

But most would forget an important aspect of the whole situation: the person's current emotions.

Depending on the circumstances, those emotions could vary significantly—regret, unwillingness, or even happiness.

But for Elysia, it was none of these.

Elysia forgot everything. She forgot her eternal love for her skin and beauty. She forgot her loyalty to the Obsidian Order. She forgot every single memory of her life up until now. Instead, only one emotion overwhelmed her—fear.
