You left and I never came back


Eventually, the chatter quiets. There is only the bubbling of the water and a perfect moment of respite saving me from the tension of such a large crowd. I'm neither used to nor comfortable in such largely social situations, which is just one of the reasons I stay in the water.

When the salmon speaks, however, I find myself confronted once again, and this time by something different: knowledge. Not only that, but specifically knowledge that is beyond my reach. Having met only a few dragons and never having heard of the other two creatures let alone having seen them, I find myself at an immediate disadvantage.

Oh, and then there's that whole problem of not being able to even speak enough to answer.

It's humbling and disappointing all at once. So long I've considered myself to have some sort of great knowledge at the world, but apparently all it takes is for one fish to have more and suddenly I'm proven wrong. What do I really know, aside from the tragedy of my own life? And if I know so little, why haven't I considered that I'm wrong?

Tentatively I move closer to the salmon, not seeking her prize but wishing I could encounter her more closely. Who is the creature that it's so wise, when all other fish I've encounter have been as mute as I? Some distant and much more fish-like relative of Aquila's, perhaps? I find myself wanting to ask what Kahelo means, I find myself parting my lips as I move closer. I cannot answer the question, I am not so stupid as to feign knowledge of an answer and guessing seems pointless, but I want to speak.

I want to, I do... but when I open my mouth only silence comes out once again.
