[The screen flickers for a moment, it's shaking slightly and if you're familiar with the area you'll notice where this is: the entrance to the catacombs. Footsteps are heard, as well as soft panting and shaky breath. She... finally made it. There's a pained sigh of relief, but then a gasp as she loses momentum, tripping over herself. The watch tumbles out of her reach, laying on it's side, finally showing just who it was who fell.

It was Aradia.

She looked exhausted, thinner and dirty. Her clothing torn, wings limp. They shimmer once then disappear. Getting up slowly, body trembling as she crawls to the watch, taking it in her shaky hand she sits back, exhaling softly.

Then she shuts off the feed, switching to audio. And oh she sounded so worn.]

How... long have I b-been gone? I... I can barely remember anything. It feels like a long time- was it a long time?

I hope... I hope I didn't worry anyone, or missed too much.

I'm sorry, I should have told someone...

[Hesitating a moment.]

I hope someone answers. I... need to hear a voice that isn't my own.
