Heart of the Void

Absolute darkness. I float in a black void, seated upon a steel throne. From the very depths of the void comes a divine voice of silence. The voice is beautiful, unimaginably beautiful. It is so beautiful that the heart stops beating, lest it disrupt it. But I am still alive... I am alive...

...my eyes are closed, my body motionless, my mind cold; absolute serenity... I am calm...

Eternity, alone with eternity, cold and ruthless...

The aria of silence is broken. Wings. Wings in the void. I see only myself and my throne. Wings, close by. An intruder. The intruder is already here. A raven. It perched on my hand. A touch, and the heart beats softly once more. An eye. A human eye in the raven's beak. He placed it in my palm and dissolved into the void. The eye is still warm...

The throne floats. Floats in the void; light, light from nowhere. Closer and closer and closer...

An island — a fragment of eternity, illuminated by a lantern hanging in the void. The throne slowly descends onto the island, raising grey dust. Wings. The raven leads me to the center of the island. A giant black tree. Its branches spread wide and reach upward into the void. From its cracked bark flows a black viscous liquid (OIL!!!11 oh wait, no.), and thousands of human eyes hang from the branches... hundreds of thousands... millions... billions... Breath, the tree breathes; and it watches, watches me. With a creak and a crack, one of the branches reaches out to me and asks that I return its eye, clutched in my palm, still warm...
