Rue tried to tug at the line going down.

She felt a lurch, and suddenly she was no longer in the battlefield. She felt the now familiar cold of the underworld and its waters. She was quite far beneath the strange ocean. The lights of souls dotted the surface above like stars.

Rue found that she could not move, or look around. It seemed that she was only observing.

In front of her, TAAron was suspended in the water, bathed in red light. The gash in his neck was open, and he did not appear conscious or breathing. He wasn't, however, dead. Somehow she knew that.

"Let's see... is this a different universe for you? Displaced in time? Reality's been changed?"

 

"Mildly different, yes, but no displacement or whatnot."

"Any... headaches? Seemingly strange things? Feeling like you're not yourself?"

“Light,” Rue muttered. “Light light light light light.”

There was another lurch, and she was back on the battlefield, still standing, blood dripping from her hand where the shard had cut it. She had apparently dropped it while in the vision.

Rue cursed and picked it back up. “How am I supposed to do anything besides watch?”

Wit sat in his room. He had taken a long long sleep. It worried him. But he put that aside. How long had he slept?

This time, the disorientation did not return. A single thread appeared, going from her straight down.

Technically, she could cut this to sever her connection with TAAron (not just the magical one, but basically all of it). I don't recommend that for plot reasons, but it could be a thought or temptation.

Rue groaned softly and yanked on the thread again, harder this time.

Immediately, Rue was overwhelmed by nausea, and darkness crept in at the edges of her vision. She remained on the battlefield.

Eventually, she once again found herself above the strange ocean. the only difference was that there were no longer waterfalls in sight around her. A faint red glow was visible under the crystal clear water right before she hit it.

Can she move now, or is it still like a vision?

Rue did her best to swim towards the glow.

It was easier than she might have expected. There wasn't any painful increase in pressure as she swam down, though her lungs did begin to burn by the time she reached TAAron.
