Zeiss felt Rayon’s arms on his back and her head next to his shoulder. Warm… They fell into the darkness of the Krau Tower. Free falling… Rayon had turned so that she was facing the bottom.
Slam! Rayon took the full impact of the fall.
There was a cloud of black dust and debris at the bottom. Zeiss felt a strange shock ripple through his body - his entire form splattered into bits of pulpy flesh and bone. His spine had twisted and ripped out of his back with yellow tendrils of nerves spread out like a horse's mane. Rayon sat up - in one piece - completely unaffected - and she had bits of Zeiss in her arms. Red jelly…
She picked up Zeiss’ dented head - it was a munted lump of flesh with eyes and a mouth at diagonal angles - there was a gurgle and rasp coming from his mouth with blood and drool leaking from the corners.
“Zeiss?” Rayon said - she was completely confused as to why he was looking so strange - a pile of meat and goo - somehow she was not hungry, “Zeiss!”
She felt like something was wrong and she quickly collected the bits of flesh she could find into a pile. She closed her eyes and chanted in an alien language - her hands glowed green. Zeiss’s heart quivered in his torso. Slowly the tissue began to coalesce. A torso… Arms… and a leg… only one leg. Rayon concentrated on the missing leg and tissue from the rest of the body was taken to form a new leg. There he was back to normal! Although something was different about him…
“Zeiss?” Rayon said. Green plasma oozed on the ground next to and on his body. It illuminated the dark. Zeiss bled from every orifice. It was so cold. He shook and shivered on the cold iron smelling concrete. He flinched as Rayon hugged him tight - pushing her body up on his. Zeiss fell in and out of it. He felt flashes of light. A cold pair of hands pulled him from the blackness. His lungs bubbled as he tried to clear the liquid. The first taste of air was almost metallic. Then he was taken somewhere else.
Heat. The melding of two bodies. Zeiss fucked Ca’ane in the space between it all where the metal pipes carried around water and shit. It was their place away from it all. Their lamp light had tipped over and oil dribbled. He held her in his arms as he thrust into her - her arms around his neck as they kissed. Their bodies became one as they moved with passion - then there was the release and the scrunching of toes.
Zeiss woke up from the dream. Rayon was on his body - her big pink eyes staring at him. He was erect down there and felt uncomfortable with her on his body.
What? He was completely naked. What happened?
He looked up at the ceiling and saw a pin prick of light. He could recognise it anywhere - a tower of Krau… But he had never seen it from this deep.
“Zeiss…” Rayon said like a meow.
“What happened?” Zeiss said - he suddenly caught his mouth. He sounded different - raspy and higher pitched, “what the hell?”
There it was again!
His voice had changed. Rayon lay on top of Zeiss like a pet. He tried to get out her embrace but his arms felt floppy and weak. His body was sticky and wet. Green plasma made his skin sheen green. He stood up and his body felt strange - his bones were being stretched and were painful. He stumbled his first steps and then tripped over something.
“Shit!” He cursed as his knee grazed. He tripped over something bouncy and firm. It was long. It had a shoe - it was a severed leg! He tried to figure out what had happened but he was so lost…
“I think May wants to have fish for dinner - we should ask Oldus,” Rayon said.
“Oldus!” Zeiss said. That’s right. He was staying with Oldus in a Krau tower… They were going to save Semira. But he had no idea how they got down here.
“What happened, Rayon?” Zeiss turned to her.
“May and I went for a walk and you joined us… and then we fell… You became grub and then I turned you back into Zeiss…” Rayon said, but it didn’t make any sense.
They can’t have fallen down here. No way…
Zeiss felt this anger build up inside of him. He hated this. He hated himself for putting up with this alien. It was an anger he had never felt in such a long time. He had not allowed himself to be this way. You have to grow up and put others ahead of you. But now Zeiss was burning with anger.
“Ahhhhh!” He yelled, “Why is this world so shit!”
He was cold, naked, and at the bottom of a Krau tower with freaking amnesia. And he was with Rayon -
“You weird thing! I am not responsible for you! Just leave me be!” Zeiss shouted at Rayon.
“Zeiss?” Rayon said, “What are you saying?”
“I am saying that I am leaving now! Don’t follow me!” He shouted.

Zeiss cursed as he stepped on something sharp on the ground - he looked at the ground and took more trained steps around the rubble. Rayon ran after him as he pulled open an old basement door in the ground and left.
