Arlath wasn't in Hell anymore. Though that would usually qualify as a good thing to most people, Arlath found his heart sinking even lower than it had been before. Change demanded one apply himself to figure out what in tarnation had happened, and that required energy.
Energy was one thing he just did not have. So as he stood there, staring dully at the extremely different scenery, all he could think was that the air was a lot fresher here. The afterimage of the red angry Hellscape that had surrounded him not moments prior faded slowly, replaced by the greens, blues, and all around rainbow of colors experienced in not-Hell.
He had no idea where he was, or why, or what happened. He let himself sink to the ground, leaning against an obliging tree and staring out at this new world.
If anyone had asked him, he would have confirmed that this was not how he'd planned his day going, but no one asked him. At least I'm still alone.
it was a thin line to grasp at, but it was the only line he had. He'd just have to make do.
