Don't Forget Where You Came From

How strange it was to feel the warmth of another in a phantasm of a touch. She'd imagined perhaps that she would feel a slight flutter, the feeling that something was happening but nothing so substantial. She nuzzled her child gently as they embraced before pulling away to drink in the sight of him.

Natalya had lived her entire mortal life blind, never knowing anything but sound and touch. She had longed, for a time, to know what colors were, what shape was, or what her own reflection looked like. When she woke in the afterlife, her colorless eyes opened to a rainbow and more. The sensation startled her at first, she wasn't sure what was happening, but then she remembered. She remembered seasons of family describing the things around her and suddenly those descriptions had an image to go with them. She remembered her death and suddenly, she understood what had happened. In death, the gods granted her a gift, repayment for her devotion.

"Thanatos, how I have missed you as well." She grinned. "Tell me, how has our friend Poe been treating you? He was such a wonderful friend to me in life."
