Syrena
let the water take me
She listens, giving Isopia more attention than she normally gives anyone. But of course, in this case, she’d asked the question and she’s not stupid enough to tune out the answer. She needed stories to trade with others. That seemed to be a thing, Wise Ones and their ranks knocking at her door looking for knowledge. She had so little of it to give, but this particularly story seemed like one she should know. The basic history of the herd who’s stories she supposedly kept.
As the Czarina speaks, it is hard not to notice the similarities between then and now. Hard not to realize how history seems to be repeating itself yet again. It has a way of doing that though. Even Syrena, with her limited knowledge of anything in Helovia, could tell you as much simply from living.
She continues, mentioning the Moon Goddess and her murder spree. This Syrena is vaguely familiar with, though like many things, she has only picked up pieces of the stories. She thinks of the boy who’d run into her in the Endless Blue with his myriad of questions that came tumbling out of his mouth a million miles a minute. What controls the gods? he’d ask. It’s a question she still could not answer, but it’s still a good question. What sends a God on a murdering spree?
The story comes to an end, and Syrena nods at the question. “It is,” she says, not adding a thank you this time. For one, she’s said thank you a lot, and there’s a threshold to how much polite she can take. But secondly, it’s clear Isopia won’t care if she does or doesn’t, and might be more pleased if she doesn’t. Instead, she adds, “If there is anything I can do… but letting the sentence trail off. The Mountain that Knows has made it perfectly clear she neither wants nor needs help. Syrena learned that lesson in their first meeting. But still, she lets the offer hang there. An offer to help the Falls, to fill a void, whatever. Though there were definitely more high functioning, pleasant horses in the Falls to choose from.
And with that slightly awkward ending, Syrena takes her leave, letting Isopia get back to whatever it is demi-gods and monarchs do.

@Isopia - thank you! Unless there was something Isopia wanted to say, we can end there. If there's more though, I'm happy to delete the part where she walks away.
