Uriel and Soliel walked through a city made entirely of carved stone. Around them were people like themselves, with skin resembling marble or stone itself. Uriel also noticed that the number of people with hair on their heads was, in fact, quite small, because he had only seen one—and that was Soliel.
He couldn't help but wonder why that was.
"I still can't believe you stayed awake all that time. It's been almost a week."
It wasn't anything remarkable for Uriel, really; in fact, it felt like very little time compared to his long wait in the void. It had been nothing more than a blink to him. During that time, he discovered several things.
One of them was that he was capable of eating dirt, stones, rocks, and gems, and that would keep him energized for several days. He only knew about the last ones because Soliel told him; the former he discovered when he started to feel hungry and, for some reason, the stones and earth began to look appetizing.
