《Devour》ch. 3.1 Lost but not alone.( revised)

I could feel the immense velocity, as I was being pulled through the void. Suddenly my inaudible screams became real again.
“Ahhhh….!!”
If there had been anything left in his stomach, it wouldn’t have been for long, as unimaginable G-forces racked my body. Again, I could feel my consciousness begin to slip, as the speed continued to increase.
But, before I fainted, strange letters and words form in the vision. After focusing for a few seconds, I realized, that even though I didn’t recognize the alien writing, I instantly understood its being.
“Blessing granted, Odin’s Eye, the all-knowing eye.”
“Warning original eye is currently obstructing the assimilation process.”
“Warning original eye will be replaced in 5,4,3, 2…1”
‘What the fuck... Did that message just pause for dramatic effect?’’
As soon the count down finished, I began to feel the weirdest itchy feeling, behind my right eye. After a minute it began to change into a burning and agonizing pain. I began to scream.
My eyeball suddenly began pushing its way out of my skull. I pointless tried pushing my eyeball back into the socket. The two opposing forces, me pushing my eyeball back in, and the unknown force pushing out, cause my eyeball to explode. I look down to see the remaining gore from my eye covering my hand.
Then, it all went black, fainting from the agonizing pain and shock of an eye my splattered eyeball all over my hand.

“Hey, mister……”
“HEY, MISTER….”
A small hand gently shook Cloude’s shoulder, slowly Cloude regained consciousness.
“My eye!” Cloude screamed
Clouse opened his left eye first. Noticing that he must have startled the girl kneeling beside him, as she wore a look of surprise on her face. Cloude reached his hand up to his right eye and slowly began to touch his eyelid. A wave of relief washed over him, as soon as he realized, his eyeball was still there. But still, it felt strange... like cold tendrils were radiating from behind his right eye. Cloude rubbed at his temple and the strange feel subsided.

‘hmmm… I must have imagined that. That asshole god did say that he was surprised, I hadn’t gone insane.’
“Hey, Bob he’s waking up.”
Cloude turned my head slightly to get a view of the burly man who just spoke. Other than the fact that he was massive, he couldn’t make out any other details, in the poor lighting.
‘Wait, is this the void?’
Cloude took a second to examine his surrounding. After glancing around, he began to realize that they were in a cavern. Hard cold stone pressed against his back. He could faintly see stone outcroppings jutting out from the ceiling, walls, and floor of the cavern. In the distance, direction across from where my feet were pointing, light poured in from the entrance of the cavern. He could also feel air flowing past him.
Cloude began to struggle to sit up.
“Hey, mister take your easy.”, the young girl said, with an expression of concern on her face.
“I think I’m ok. Just feel a little stiff.” Cloude said, his voice raspy. His throat was cracked and dry.
“My name’s Petal and this big bear standing behind me is Chipper. What’s your new name mister?” She asked.
“Cloude.”
“Here something to drink.” Chipper leaned down beside him and handed him a canteen.
Cloude took a slow sip. Shock lit up on his face.
“What is this?”
It tasted amazing, like some kind of sweetened herbal tea. Not only was the taste amazing, but instantly the pain from his cracked and dry throat was gone. His voice no longer sounded hoarse either.
“Honestly we’re not sure it is…” Chipper replied. “Everyone has a couple of canteens of it in their bag.”
“Bag?”
“Ya, whenever someone appears here, a bag appears beside them. The bags are kind of weird though.” Chipper’s facial expression looked strained, as he’s thought about how to continue.

Before chipper had a chance to finish, Petal cut in.
“Well, mister Cloude, the bags seem to hold more than they should. When you look in the bag, the items look a lot smaller, than they actually are once pulled out of the bag. Also, no one can take items out of another person’s bag.”
“Do I have a bag?” Cloude asked.
“Mister you … Your hand is resting on it right now. Petal replied while looking at him as if he was an idiot.
“Sorry. Didn’t notice it. My visions a little blurry.”
Despite Cloude’s blurry vision, he could tell she was smiling at him. Only then did he realized his right eye was still closed. He tried opening it, but couldn’t, his eyelashes were stuck together. He rubbed his eye. Dry crusted blood matted his eyelashes. He managed to break eyelashes free simple by rubbing them, but he would still need to wash his face later. He then opened his eye.
“Mister your eyes... glowing.” Shook tuned her voice.
The world around exploded into vibrant detail. Not only could I see everything as if we were in daylight, but I could also make out the smallest details. I focused in on the nearest cave wall, which was about 20 feet away from me, and I could literally see ants scurrying across the surface. After I moment I realized that information about the ants began to form in my mind. I instantly knew various pieces of information about the ants, the name of their sub-species, their size, gender, the fact that they were mildly poisonous.
Cloude slowly inspected the cavern, learning details about geological properties of minerals that made up the surface of the cave. It appears to be made up mostly of alkalizing minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iron.
He then started inspecting the occupants of the cavern. The detail that appeared was their names. After that information about physical stats, strength, endurance, speed, dexterity, and vitality. Next were the mental stats intelligence, wisdom, and memory. Last was a stat call willpower.
Quickly looked everyone over, he could tell that most of the human occupying of the cave, all had similar stats. He noted that men typically had higher strength and endurance stats than the women present, but women seem to have higher vitality and willpower.
He then looked at his hand to see if his own stats would appear. He wasn’t surprised by his stat results. He had never been physically fit. At least his non-physical stats were pretty decent

But he was surprised by the extra information, he got when inspecting himself. Although, he had no clue what to make of his ability and trait just yet.
