The City Shivers

Everything passes by in a prismatic blur.

The world around me bends, not at my whims, but under Lady Life's auspices. With every word, it shifts and shakes more easily. It seems so clear now. How come I didn't understand this from the beginning?

Is there even more to understand?

What could Lady Life hide, behind so many veils, so many forests, so many mountains?

Will I ever know?

Our visor brightens,

A glint of transparency. I hold on to the securing bolts,

The only true reminder I hold of my birth.

Another set of voices echo and whisper across the bay.

Eyes. So many eyes. They blot out the stars when I sleep,

Some are mine, some are ... Wrong.

The Soul Shards, too, stir and yearn for the nearest drop of Mana.

Break that chain, and we break down.

The city shivers.

What do I see?

"The constantly changing & altering tides of the world around us."
"A comforting breeze blows across my storms."

"The remains of a half-sunken seafort crumble on an inlet."

Will I ever go there?

"No. You are just one Soul among the hundreds of thousands lost every year,"
"A symptom of a broken past."
"Just one of the keys to restoring the desert."

"Such is our fate."
"What we were born for."
"What we were made for."
"The Fairy magicka is salvaged."

There laid still unfinished business,
But it were calm now.
Even as the Demonic tide occasionally slips past our reach & sheer speed,

I can't help but smile.

We realize they've lost the original idea.

That's okay.

Maybe I'm a little lost, too...

But I'm going to make the most of it.

It's good enough.

"And soon I found out,"
"I really needed you, too."
"Don't worry, big brother. You'll be ours one day again."
