The Missing Piece

The light enveloped her. 

The glow bound her. 

From within, the surface of her skin beaming, flaring gold. A ceaseless beacon coursing through her veins - purging, eradicating… becoming…

I could feel it, from afar, from a distance… I didn't even have to try. 

In my bones, in my very soul, the sensation emanating from around her - it was like nothing else I've felt before. I don't know what I felt. There was no word, no feeling that could even come close to describing it. 

Everything in my head receded, vanished - just gone. I didn't know what I thought, what to think. I'm blank, it was all blank.

I just saw, sensed, felt - power. Raw, limitless power. 

Captivating. 

Terrifying. 

Consuming.

I'm ebbing, I'm joining, I'm giving, I'm offering… I…

I think I'm dying.

Something blinked. My eyes? The light? It blinked.
