There was always a deep, heavy gravitas about the vibe in Hueco Mundo. Hollows who had spent any amount of time here would take it for granted and become used to it, but if they ever left Hueco Mundo to travel elsewhere, they would be reminded of that heavy, almost oppressive weight to the air when they returned. It was a general vibe, a sort of knowing, one might get if they were the superstitious type, and stepped foot into a cemetary on a Full Moon at night on Friday the 13th. The feeling of 'anything might happen here', and 'dark things dwell here'.

He felt like he was large, but he also felt like size was relative. He felt a little groggy, as though just waking from a deep sleep, and he was barely aware of the subdued personalities raging inside of him. It was like a churning inside of him, not quite in his mind, or in his body, but...someplace else; his Soul? Did he still have one of those?

He endeavored to raise his arms, pale white, partially covered in a black shroud, and couldn't help but notice how heavy they felt. He had a faint, foggy idea of what it had been like to raise his arms in the past, and that was the only way he even knew that this was harder than it had been in the past.

"What....who am I.."

The voice was deep, almost sing-song, but also slightly melancholic as it rang out. Ox noticed that, as he spoke this, slowly and deliberately, his physical mouth did not move, for some reason. He slowly clenched and unclenched his hands to and from fists, then lowered his heavy arms back down again, and surveyed the endless desert all around him.

"It is time for me to learn who and what I am.." He finally said, definitively. He began slowly gliding across the surface of the desert, with no particular destination in mind, simply moving slowly along the sands, in search of something...

...or somebody..

[KayoHime]

Hueco Mundo. The vast endless sea of sand that she saw all across and around her. This place was a nightmare for when she was weaker. She hated this place back then. Now, however, she was indifferent to it. Her reddish-brown eyes scanning over the horizon lazily, as she was in no hurry for the current time.

"It would seem a new Hollow has arisen. Will he become strong, or will he fall to the other Hollows, who vie for power?" She mused aloud to herself, her silver swaying slightly.

Ox wanders through the

Endless Desert of Hueco Mundo

Time seemed to stand still as Ox made his way through the desert. Every now and again, he would get the feeling like he was being watched, and would usually ignore it. Every now and again, he would slowly come to a halt, and turn his massive head around, peering at his surroundings, trying to find anything or anyone that might be moving about the desert. The first few times, it seemed like a presence of no significance, perhaps a lesser hollow here and there, or maybe something else.

One of the times, the feeling was far more intense, as if whatever was watching him was made up of something stronger, denser, tougher than the other presences he was sensing; further scanning of the area yielded no more results than before, though.

At one point, the Menos Grande called Ox was suddenly leaped upon by a large group of lesser, bestial Hollows. They snapped at his heels, clashing and biting at him, and for awhile, Ox had been seized by fit of panic, watching in horror as the scene played out before him. After what must have been about a dozen or more minutes, the large Menos realized suddenly that the lesser Hollows could not harm him!

As one of them lunged for his side, Ox's enormous left hand suddenly moved from the side of it's body at just the right moment to catch that Hollow off-guard, and Ox's tight grip would tighten around it painfully as he slowly lowered the lesser Hollow to his mouth, and placed it slowly in his mouth, then devouring it.

It took only a couple of more displays like this before the remaining two hollows dispersed, leaving Ox to contemplate what had happened, and his overwhelming instinct to devour these lesser Hollows.

"I do not hunger, and yet I cannot resist the urge.... to consume..." 

The large Gillian contemplated this for a few more moments, then returned to the direction he had been walking before, started to move forward again, then he paused again. 

That stronger presence from before... He thought to himself quietly, slowly shifting his body in it's direction. I must know what it is...must know who it is....

Finishing his slow turn, he would now begin advancing slowly towards the position of the stronger energy signature he had briefly sensed in that direction.

Sakuya stood in the air, lazily watching this Gillian that had captured her attention. The fact it would seem to stop at random intervals to see who was watching it, only proved to her more that perhaps there was more to it then first appeared.

"It would seem this Hollow is coming along. The fact he's going against his instinct to devour all he sees as a Gillian... I do believe he will raise up one day. I will be watching this one closely... Who knows, perhaps it may need my help one day." She said to herself, watching the Gillian walk aimlessly.
