I stirred to the strangest sensation. My body felt weightless, somehow lighter than normal? The grey mists of Eternal sleep washed away to somewhere around my ears leaving them shushing on some foreign sea. I found it relaxing in an odd way.
Full consciousness happened upon me in a rather less pleasant manner. Not only was there the sound of sloshing liquid, but my ears swam in it; the coffin was half full of water!
I"d have relished the luxury of panic but all Eternals knew the sun"s position, their continued existences depended upon it, and I was no exception. I was well aware that somewhere behind my shoulders the sun had not set. Exiting the coffin was not an option. Neither could I hear the reassuring words of Sunyin, nor the clopping of horses" hooves: what to do? Bereft of options
