The moment he stepped down off the platform, his official retirement from the Serpents announced, he felt dizzy. For a second or two, he felt like he was going to pass out. He reached out, reaching for his son, but his fingers found only emptiness where Jughead should have been. His hands dropped to his knees and he pulled in a breath in an effort to level out and get through the moment.
Anxiety wasn't something he acknowledged often, but there was no denying it in this moment. He blinked rapidly, the world around him fading in and out of focus as he stood there, hunched over with his hands on his knees, his breath ragged. The babbling rush of water from the river behind him gave him something concrete to focus on, but as he straightened his posture, he realised everything around him had changed.
The serpents were gone. Jughead was gone. Everyone was gone. He was alone on the banks of the river. And nothing about it looked familiar. "What the hell?" he muttered, face turned up to the sky. He stood there in confused disbelief, startled out of his contemplation when the phone in his pocket rang.
He jumped, and his heart pounded in his chest. He cautiously pulled the phone from his pocket and saw that it was not his phone. He squinted at the screen, at the message displayed there. He looked up, eyes taking in the landscape then flickering back to the cryptic message.
And he sent the phone in his hand flying in a rather impressive arc.
