(??? POV)
I am lying on a soft grass with my eyes closed while enjoying the feeling.
I just appeared here a few hours ago inside some castle. Surrounded by grasslands, mountains etc. You get the idea.
The thing is… Other than me, there is no one here. I both know it from my observations and some weird instinctual feeling in me that whispers that this is the case.
Who I am you might ask. Well imagine such a scenario:
You drink with your best bro at the bachelor party. He somehow found a girl desperate enough to marry him. At the end of it you lose consciousness due to the sheer amount of alcohol in your bloodstream or at that point amount of blood in your alcostream. Hehe. Get it?
And then out of nowhere you wake up here all alone. At first, I thought I am crazy or something else was mixed with whatever I drank. Later I just got over it, adaptability was always my thing.
Don't even make me start on my new look. I look like some horror movie villain… or a game's last boss.
I also felt constrained by my own body. It was easy to figure out that this is not even my final form. Despite my curiosity I decided to not change into it. I had enough revelations today… or a century, ok?
After organising my thoughts, I open my three eyes to witness that grey sky and clouds once more. The only way to discern them was the hue. Clouds are darker, whole thing giving that depressing and lonely vibes.
From the parts of information hidden in my mind I can understand it. I am death after all… It would have been weird if my realm wasn't like that. Although I would like something to do or company. It's boring as fuck.
The only good thing is that I can just sleep and shut myself down for as long as I want. So, in theory I can just sleep for eternity or until something interesting happens.
I stood up straight and the grass beneath me. Unfortunately, even that is not normal because it's blue. The same could be said about those trees in the far distance I see. Leaves crimson like blood and black bark as if abyss itself supported them instead of wood. I explored that forest a while ago and nothing fun was there.
I am completely alone. Noone in sight just myself, but somehow it feels comforting as I my purpose was fulfilled without a hitch.
On my left a castle. Although it's a huge understatement, the whole thing was warped. As if someone took it cut it into blocks and rotated each block in random direction. Completely crazy. Walls are completely white with black windows and doors, while the whole structure is levitation on a... island. It's basically a part of the whole land taken out, and levitates a few dozen meters above. As if someone was afraid it will fly away it is connected to the mainland with huge chains that keep it in place.
Despite how it looks inside it is normal. I mean a castle corridors and rooms are not warped like it look from outside, even if empty it's fine. I woke up inside there sitting on a throne a few days ago.
You have no idea how hard it was to coordinate my body movements. Three eyes are already bonkers, but imagine those horns or my new height. Even then I started running and before I realised went straight through a wall. Thankfully it automatically repairs somehow.
Anyway, I sat on the same throne and checked over the connection I felt. Thanks to that I learned that I am in a Zanpakutō right now and who my wielder is. Although the last I checked she was sleeping.
There are a few other connections but those are completely different. Those are not as solid as this one and are more like a connection towards some small part of myself. Most likely some beings or whatever have small part of my being inside of them like some sort of blessing or something. I am in the dark too, just guessing shit up.
"Let's check what she is up to?" I decided to check what my wielder is doing.
I don't trust her at all since let's be real other than being a beauty I don't know anything of her. She was just sleeping last time I saw her so no idea. I just hope she is neither too good or too bad. If she were to kind and selfless then it just opens a possibility of being used by someone. The other way around is well… I would rather her be a murderhobo with good mindset like Zaraki. Not the best but at least he doesn't kill everyone around.
Once I established a connection I was greatly surprised. While I was prepared to see anything, then certainly a sight of her just falling from the sky while flapping her legs and arms in… I think she is panicked. While her expression is not changing practically at all I can feel her emotions.
After a little bit she just does a gorgeous landing creating a crater.
"Heheh. HeHEHHEH!" I just couldn't stop myself. What the fuck is that even?!
Who does this kind of thing even. What was she even thinking? Let's do a skydiving without a parachute? Like I know that as a Shinigami she could just use spiritual particles to stand mid-air, but she didn't even test it before doing this?
While I don't know the context, I am certain that this could have been done better. It seems I don't need to worry too much. She seems like a total idiot, or at least an airhead.
Next, she started bullshiting to her subordinates. It seems she doesn't know how to talk with them… that's weird. Aren't we in Bleach, and why is it so empty there. No souls, Shinigami other that those few. Something is sus.
She seems proud and relieved with her performance. Too bad she is bad at it and no one believed her, the only reason they didn't call her out is their loyalty.
After a few moments they went away leaving my wielder alone.
Hey. How about I try talking with her and bring her for a chat? With this I tried to 'grab' her and pull towards my realm, but she didn't budge at all. Why?
I feel like it should work. It would be needed especially now that she keeps glancing at the Zanpakutō in doubt most likely afraid of me or at least suspicious.
Oh. I get it.
Communicating with Zanpakutō and being able to talk with the spirits required understanding and trust, right? She is suspicious of me and afraid so it will not work.
Damn. What to do now? I think I can just wait.
That stupid girl…
