The entire experience lasted for a few moments before coming to a lurching halt.

Noone's organs all shifted again, the immediate deceleration causing even him with his dulled senses to feel sick. The momentum of his body was suppressed by the wound roots. Noone looked out from between the roots but he didn't have time to take in the sight before another pressing concern was brought to his attention.

At first, he felt lucky to have not died from the impact. He did not have time to process the implications of that, however. Soon realizing that the roots had not released him. In fact, they seem to be wound even tighter. Despite his strong disposition and immense constitution, abrasions were forming across his body and the roots drew blood.

Due to the constant drain of his life-force, it was now dangerously low, close to 30% of what it should have been. His usual dark grey complexion was now paler, and Noone's head throbbed from the pressure. But the roots did not slow and continued to feed off him.

Noone's body was even beginning to react outside of his control, his always steady breathing became increasingly shallow.

Noone's consciousness was fading within, any chance he had to fight for control of his body back was now gone. He no longer had the strength even if he wanted to.

”Come on…” He pleaded within his own mind. If this was the ultimate culmination of what he was fighting for - to be used as plant food - then it could have happened down in the cave below. There was no reason to bring him up.

Noone focused his attention, fighting to stay aware. He looked around at the large cavernous room which he was being held within.

Lining the walls were numerous root structures, but all of them were immense in comparison to the ones which bound him.

15 percent.

Eight of them that he could see, all a meter in diameter, snaked out from the center of the room and up along the walls. They were all sprouting smaller roots that spread out like a net. It seemed to be holding the cavern in shape, keeping it from collapsing into rubble.

Noone's eyes traced the long roots up to the ceiling. All the roots which lined the cavern interconnected at a single point, a large knotting of roots and wood. Hanging from the center of the cavern growing out of the roots was a stem structure, not brown but green. A dark green which was speckled with tiny lights like a million sun stone fragments.

Noone's consciousness was barely able to maintain awareness or thought, but he also found himself unable to look away from the centerpiece of the cavern.

Hanging underneath the center of the cavern, supported by an immense trunk like stem - a closed flower bud hung. It was utterly massive.

It hung a few meters away from the ground, and like a giant sun-stone it glowed filling the cavern with subtle colors and shifting lights.

The bulb was every soft shade of blue and pink and green, and it shined dimly. Being vaguely transparent, the colors which perfused it moved and flowed like water all being held inside.

Noone felt himself being drawn to the bulb. He stared at it in wonder, it gave off a feeling like nothing he had ever felt before. A feeling of alien strangeness but also of familiarity and security.

Despite the glowing bulb in the middle of the room, the world dimmed and Noone began to lose complete consciousness.

Damn…
