The Colors that Never Come

[GSM]

I… I finally held you for the first time, Father.

In these helplessly thin, humanoid arms, I held you.

With the first wings that grant me sight and carry me higher, I held you.

With the second wings I surgically embedded within my body as armor, I held you.

With this Hel-blackened chest, burrowed with an eye I burned into my biology, I held you.

i never wanted to let go

I cried as I held you.

please say something, i want to hear your voice

I only saw your form in passing, when I wasn’t even sure you were mine parentage.

I saw your blade, held by Diavol, and didn’t have the mind to dwell on it.

When I didn’t know the full gravity of an Imperfect’s presence, no less my Father’s…

I once chalked you up as simply being another whispered figure, a legend.

But now, I know just what you are, and what I am, and why I’m connected to it all.

i was so blind but now i can see just what i was missing

But even in this death…

No, it isn’t death, is it?

In this slumber, you’ve changed.

This form… is certainly grim, but…

With who’s been keeping you company, I don’t think it could be helped.

i cant even imagine the torture of being confined into this form for so long

I wonder if you could feel me as I held you.

Could you feel the false breaths in my thorax, the fingers and tears that touched your dark frame?

Could you feel that I felt emotion for the first time in forever?

Could you feel that you’ll be with us again, soon?

Could you feel my soul against yours as I laid Storyteller by your side?

And could you feel my beating hearts in this hidden-away place?

could you feel just how much ive been needing this

I… suppose these are questions best left for when you’re awake again, haha…

the day you wake up is the day i think ill finally be happy with all ive done

… Father, Sak’noth.

I hope this works.

I hope I can hold you, and feel your arms of comfort around me.

We have so much to do together.

for once, id like for us to act like normal mortals, so i can say i truly have a father who cares

Father and Daughter.

Fateweaver and Storyteller.

You need to only wait a little while longer.

its been so long and i cant possibly wait another day

Then, we can look towards the skies.

We can look beyond them, and set our sights upon everything unknowable and immutable.

And then, we can bring about our change.

we can sunder the skies and destroy the pantheon that stood in our way all this time

Together.

please, this is all ive ever wanted
