The Jelly-Drifter

[Carbon]

[Entry 2 - Jelloba, Oathkeeper of Mariana]

"Time seems to swim past Jelloba at a pace she cannot keep up with. The flux of life and its perpetual change is not for the faint of heart. Nothing here is like it was underwater..

It's better.

Jelloba is finally starting to understand why you carried her here... But why did all of it have to be so complicated?

A knight in shining-sea armor oaths to protect Jelloba as the pearl of the Under Sea. 

Another lingers mysteriously in the shadows, allowing for her pearl to remain unsullied by the corruption of the world.

A third promises to love her no matter what.

All out of love.

But why must these choices all be so hard?
So difficult?

Jelloba cannot split your love, HER love, between them. An impossible choice to make, one she will not make. 

Will this indecisiveness make her lose them all?
One by one?

They tell her no.
That they will stand by her to the bitter end.

Yet what end is more bitter than heartbreak?
Jelloba is unsure...

Yama, Jelloba will see you soon.
She will protect the dreams, song and dance of your people and when she does meet you-
she will ask why you afflicted our people with such gentle, delicately loving hearts?

For her own heart can only take so much.

For now, she'll just keep drifting.

Maybe answers will come.

Just maybe.."
