The night was gentle, a cozy wind drifting across the distance. Raiden lay on the ground with Leo fast asleep right beside him, while behind them, everyone else was lost in slumber.
Raiden could feel himself slipping into his dormant state, yet he couldn't help but have his senses remain somewhat awake.
His eyes rolled rapidly beneath his eyelids while his breathing remained gentle and slow, close enough to sleeping to fool most, yet not quite deep enough to truly rest.
As he lay there, confusion clouded his thoughts more than it should have as he tried to make sense of what was happening. But in the enveloping silence, all he could see was himself standing in what seemed like an endless white void.
His mind jumped from one thought to another. Was this another side effect from the retinal rift? Or perhaps everyone else was having a similar experience, and this was simply how people slept at the Solace Isle?
