Welcome to Gaia! ::

The waking up call was far sooner and much rougher than Storm ever expected. It was the annoying alarm of a clock, the morning sun hitting you in the eye or even a bad dream jerking you awake. Actually a nightmare would have been nice compared to this. At least it was more familiar

One moment he was sound asleep in his bed, the next a sharp pain on the ear and a sudden plunge into darkness forced him awake. It was a far from pleasant experience, being surrounded by that colored darkness and falling though that kaleidoscope of colors and shapes that felt like they were being burned into the brain
It felt too real to be a dream. Even if it felt like he was free falling through the void, on the other hand it felt like the colors were compressing against him body and squeezing him like a tube of toothpaste
But when if felt like he was about to be crushed to death, the suffocation sensation vanished and was replaced by the impact on the muddy ground. Nothing bone shattering though

The ground where Storm landed on was completely different from the one in his bedroom. For starters it was damp soil and grass, smelling of rich old dirt, composed of several years of fallen leaves and long decomposition, with just a little hint of freshly fallen rain
And overing about it were the century old trees that provided the material for that soil, with a thick canopy of leaves that kept the drizzle from directly hitting the ground and provided the shelter for all the birds that could be heard in the area
But the place where he "crash landed" was not under one of those old sentinels, but inside a quite ruined building. By the looks of it, it had been abandoned a long, long time ago. It's was a small chapel with 3 of its 4 walls and no ceiling. And the floor was not of carved stone, like the walls, but layer upon layer of dirt that accumulated over the centuries. As for decoration there was little to none, all the wood furniture eaten a long time ago by time and termites. The only thing that survived was a broken down stone cross
As for outside the chapel, it was nothing but wilderness, though there was a faint deer trail that showed some signs of use, with the plants still trying to cover its tracks
