The first thing she noticed was a feeling of suppression. Of something trying to flatten her. As she came aware, for the first time in a century or more, she opened her eyes.
Eyes? she thought. Since when have I had eyes? She reached up, rubbing her head in confusion, and froze. A smile curled on her blood-red lips. So I have a body this time. Been a very long time, finally I get to play with the mortals. Getting up, she struggled against the feeling of weight that she hadn't felt since before Rome was built.
And gravity still sucks ass.
As she looked around her, she saw the ocean spread out below her. Hmm, which one? The Atlantic, I think, she mused. Looking behind her, she saw a gaping wound in the earth, with metal creatures, structures, and humans running about. Machines. Those metal creatures are machines, as the humans call them. Most of them, anyway. Some of them seem to be elementals of human dross. Interesting.
