Secrets of the Clouded Prithvi

[Kynim]

"I saw, in my mind, fairy lights through the mist.."


Many would have given up, but I err closer to him with every passing moment. This, I can feel it.. I'm most certain. My time in the spirit realm has given me much to reflect on; and yet, I have had to make some concession. For the spirit realm is not for the faint of heart, nor the weak of will; I've given up everything to try and find him.. just one last.. conversation. I can feel my body as a mortal shedding away, weak- unable to remain here, but I can sense him- on the tip of my finger- just within reach- for if I keep searching, he'll be there... around the corner.

I thought I found you, once; another human-like spirit with your whimsy; and yet, in the end, I found they were only a trickster spirit trying to take your image. The spirit realm will fool those who are not ready to accept what they cannot find. I have never been one for battle, and I suffered wounds, as a result- but I was able to overcome it. I hold onto William's scarf that I may return home some day. I can feel myself drawing closer, and closer, and closer- for it would be foolish to stop now. Even if the spirit realm is not for the faint of heart..

To that end, I've only continued to search, and search, and search; at times, I forget to eat, I forget to sleep; time works differently, here; it flows, differently; with everything I brought with me, I can sustain myself longer than I need to; mortal food can be hard to find, after all.. Azalea prepared me, that I may find you here. She told me that.. the spirit realm.. is not for the faint of heart....

Rudra, I only wish I could bring you here.. Kousei, I hope you're doing okay. William, you're quite dear to me, I must admit.. These small things keep me at bay, keep me from losing it all, from forgetting who I am.. The air here is thick.. and dense.. and the magical effects are not for.. the faint.. of heart..

Azalea.. will you find me, if I'm lost? I can feel parts of myself slipping away.. I know if I keep looking, I'll find it; I'll find him, I'll find her, I'll find them.. I'll have that conversation. He'll be so proud. But you told me to be careful, and Camino told me to be careful, and Na'Ria told me to be careful, and Tandava told me to be careful, and William told me to be careful.. They all said that.. the spirit realm is..

not.. for..

the faint..

of heart....

maybe if.. i were to play your song..
