the Ocean’s Light

“So it has come.”

The voice of their patron god continues to echo through every dark corner of the blue Lady’s mind, even if he has fallen silent many moments ago—she can still hear him, clearly and hauntingly, even if she wishes with the entirety of her delicate heart that she couldn’t.

“Be well, all of you.”

Such thoughtful words, unassuming words, like a well-wisher’s blessing of good grace and health. It is wrong how they send an icy chill down the ocean maiden’s spine, and wrong how they provoke exactly the opposite of their face-value blessing within her fragile breast—instead she is plagued with a sense of doom and goodbyes, of the end rather than the promise of days to come.

What is happening? Her heart cries, though her naive mind recoils from the answer, too content in the bliss of ignorance, and terrified to face the black, writhing shadows of reality. (Because, surely, this can’t be happening!)

It just can’t.

Her cheeks are wet from tears she doesn’t realize have fallen, her are eyes wide and frozen, and every breath seems more difficult than the last as she fights whatever it is that has an iron hold on her chest. The Lady’s movements are wooden, broken like the earth beneath her feet. “Did you hear him?” She asks them dumbly, knowing that they have—they all have—and now they only have themselves and their dying world.

“He’s gone,” she murmurs, unable to believe the words even as they fall gracelessly from her lips.

He will come back, she wants to tell them.
It’ll all be okay, she wants to promise them.
Kaos cannot win, she wants to assure herself.
This is not the end, she wants to believe.

But she can’t.

“He’s gone,” is all she can say, brokenly, defeatedly, while her glass heart crumbles into pieces.

“Speech.”

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high

there’s a land that I heard of once

in a lullaby.
