[UNFINISHED DRAFT - barely even a beginning for a first scene but im tired lol, just wanted to start getting SOMETHING written]
A soft, golden light illuminated the dust hanging in the air.
Moments passed slowly, not quite reluctantly but neither with any sort of energy; the sluggish movement of something ancient and old waking blearily in a false morning. Long asleep in the dim and dark, time here had forgotten what it was like to keep pace with the living. Time had forgotten how quick were the beats of their hearts, how constant and without end, a never ending march even in their dreams.
As the faint glow brought light to this place that had lain abandoned and silent for so long, slowly but surely did time seem to remember what it was to move again. Heavy eyes blinked open and began to find their energy, skin began to shift, breath began to stir. Time woke up and remembered what it was like to be alive.
Two shadows moved within the golden light. The light began to grow brighter. The shadows became more distinct as figures, then proper silhouettes.
Sound joined in.
The soft whisper of feet on stone. The quiet hush of steady breaths. The muted clinking of metal chain.
One of the silhouettes carried something in its grasp.
They both stood upright, one with its arm extended before it.
From its grasp hung a golden lantern, the source of the illumination that continued to grow as they approached. The chain by which it dangled served as the source of the metallic sound, swaying gently with the figures steps. The air quickened and whirled from the heat of the lanterns flame as the duo came close enough to be truly revealed.
