For ages, this mind has known only a deep sleep and the sound of silence Entombed in a preserving chamber during a time of violence The last grain of etherium joins the rest at the bottom of the glass Ancient magic begins to flow, lighting the runes carved into the sarcophagus long ago Deep within The mind stirs Coming back to consciousness Pulling away the cobwebs covering the senses and remembering what it’s like to breathe Dusting off the memory of a cool stone coffin… Is that what is felt underneath? A faint blue glow brings life to the eyes, telling the mind it is time to rise Right… it’s been a while, Motor Cortex Muscles twitch, joints creak and limbs push on the cover of stone Stone that doesn’t move a millimeter Oh… I remember Fingers find the glowing rune on the side A hundred more runes come to life, and the lid opens wide The eyes adjust and perceive A small room filled with old air and covered in the dust of time And showing the way out, leading to the door A trail of runes, one by one, in a line Okay legs Hands meet a door that has not been met in over a hundred lifetimes The mind is sure, it is time for fresh air A return to life, one where the sun shines Here we go The seal is broken, the door opens, the dust of time is stirred Hair flutters, clothes billow, skin feels… Ah, my old friend, I am so glad you are still here. It has been a long, long time. *

The Twenty-three Winds of Esper
Hey. I know it's difficult to keep your mind in the present. Why do you think I'm here? But you know, some day, that person looking at you from across the room will walk up to you and say the **** you've been waiting to hear for a thousand years. Don't give up. You owe it to yourself. *
