[Bitp:R] Hueco Mundo

[Shades of Gray]

Meanwhile, Thousands of Miles Awaaaaaay

Hueco Mundo. The great desert of the dead. In the middle of it, the great city of Las Noches. A great fortress in the wasteland. The only source of daylight in the otherwise bleak expanse. A shining gem in the center of a desolate blight. This is where the arrancar reside.

Well, most of the arrancar.

A female figure is seen slowly trudging through the aforementioned wasteland. How such a girl ended up in a place like this is hard to guess. Her black hair framed her face perfectly, and her pale blue eyes are chilling to look at. Her wardrobe doesn't seem particularly suited for the cold night air either. Wearing a skirt and short sleeves was not the best idea, but she didn't exactly have a nearby outlet mall. It was hardly her choice, after all. The girl only had one set of clothes that she could wear comfortably with her small wings and tail. At least the scarf helped somewhat.

But at least she had some source of light. Curiously, she was clutching an iron lamppost in her arms, casting a dim light over the nearby area and providing some warmth. She held it closely, wrapping her arms around each other to help stay warm.

"Post-Saaaaaaaaaan. I'm f-f-freezing. When are we going to g-g-get to the shiny city?" A certain arrancar complained to seemingly no one. "W-we've- No, I've been walking f-f-for, like, two weeks n-now." Perhaps the prolonged exposure to the cold was making her slowly go insane, calling out to no one.
