I'm not the only one
Who finds it hard to understand
Explaining the effects of going through the portal felt a little like trying to explain the colour red to someone who could see only grey. Mallorie frowned in thought before settling on an explanation.
“We could perceive things beyond what humans could. Sort of like having an extra sense. It doesn’t matter now, though,” she said with a wry twist of her lips, “I don’t perceive much here beyond the cold.”
It was a half truth, but Morgan didn’t need to know that. Mallorie’s failing in her old life seemed to be mundane here, and she was almost...relieved by it. She didn’t know what the other people in this land were like, but she took to humanity as if sinking into a bath. Of course, there was the tangled knot of ‘ascended’ and ‘attuned’ and ‘abandoned’ for her to figure out, but as a baseline, human seemed as good as any other to start from.
Mallorie followed Morgan’s gaze, at the curious lack of fellows, and for the briefest moment felt she understood.
“Is politics normally so ah...explosive here?”
