The crab now knew that its own self was sentient, could think, and was self-aware. It also realized that it needed to find its own answers to the questions that it had. Finally, and perhaps, most importantly, it saw—with its own eyes—that it is a crab.

With its self discovered, the crab’s endless skittering across the Primordial Plane began to slow. With curiosity, the crab looked at its legs, which seemed to have a mind of their own, yet was still under the control of its own mind.

Interested, the crab lifted a leg and inspected the colorfully colorless leg. There was no such thing as light in the Primordial Plane, after all.

Then, the crab looked closer.

A web, created by thousands of droplets, glimmered with an ethereal beauty. The strands that connected the droplets, as far as the crab could tell, were both existing and not existing. The crab did not understand, but accepted what it had observed.

So the crab moved on, deciding to observe the droplets themselves.

With surprising ease, the crab saw.

Or rather, the crab tasted.

It tasted like a foreign land, yet oddly, it tasted of home. The tastes of sand and salt, the warm breeze of the afternoon and the ocean’s breath.

The crab tried to blink. It couldn’t.

Instead, its movements seemed to be controlled by another being.

What is happening?

The crab attempted to observe where it was now. Unfortunately, even the control over its eyes was seemingly taken away.

After a short moment of confusion, the crab focused on what it could see.

It saw home.

Or, at least, what this body considered to be home.

A wide expanse of pure and clean sand. A sky stretching to what seemed like an infinitely distant horizon. Below the sky, a vast and calm sea, shining as the sun above glowed with a warmth that the crab never knew it missed.

This is... home?

No. This place is new.

Where am I?

I should return for now.

With a sensation of crashing waves and a sense of lacking, the crab found itself back in the Primordial Plane.

What... was that? It felt like home.

Home. What is home? A place to live in. A place with sandy beachy and calm seas, a bright sky with the sun shining down with its warmth.

Home is good.

The crab looked up from its introspection and gazed at the Primordial Plane.

Nothingness met the crab. Nothingness stared at it. The crab turned away.

This is not home.
