It is time.
To descend into the depths,
Of The Ocean.
Of her delusion.
In the absence of my words for clarification,
She thinks I am returning,
For her reclamation.
But of course,
Even if I spoke, she wouldn’t hear me.
Even if I screamed, she’d sculpt my voice into her fantasy.
So I don’t scream.
I act.
I drop into her gravity, and the waters shudder.
Fate sighs. With that honeyed ache she’s crafted across centuries, the one she uses to convince herself she’s ever been worshipped. Her voice is soft. Almost tender, now that she longs to be proven right.
Longs to prove, that I have surrendered.
That I am hers.
“You came back— See, you’ve remembered. I knew you would— As you must.”
I continue my slow descent, my breeze revealing the shape of my shoulders, as my form flickers.
And I breathe.
And I
Tear The Ocean open
And Fate howls.
“𝐍𝐎—no—𝐍ᴏ—YOᴜ’ʀᴇ… mɪstA͟kᴇn. ɪғ yᴏᴜ’ʀᴇ hᴜʀᴛɪɴɢ, don’T—ᴅᴏɴ’ᴛ—ᴛᴀᴋᴇ ɪᴛ ᴏᴜᴛ ᴏɴ me— TAKE ɪᴛ Oᴜᴛ ᴏɴ Hɪᴍ—”
Not in pain, but in frustration.
Not the agony of a wound, but the shame of being wrong.
The Sea ruptures like muscle. The Tide splits like tendon. Not gently. Not cleanly. The sky contracts. Salt grinds into the wounds of the world.
It isn’t a sound.
It’s a pressure, a grief, a fury.
A shattering veil of delusion.
Her waters coil, recoil, twist in on themselves in protest.
Her scream is a retaliation.
That pressure can only be contained,
By proportional effort.
My limbs modify, mid-fall.
Knees bending into form,
Skin woven from the invisible lines on the sky,
Hair drawn from the horizon line,
Fluttering down with unnatural clam.
I shape myself into a humanoid form, so I may walk on The Ocean's floor, between the towering walls of the waters I have contained.
I descend through her wound.
I walk the trench between her parted waves.
With every step against her will.
Walls of water veer around me, veined with foam and fury.
And the deeper I go, the more I must hold her back.
Not just her body,
Her mind.
Her delusion.
She presses into my joints.
Into the sinew behind my knees.
Into the bridges of my fingers.
She wants to crush me.
Claim me.
She always has.
My shoulders seize. My ribs tighten. I stagger—
And the voices begin.
Her voice.
Not one.
A thousand iterations.

It hurts. Not like blades. Like entropy.
I bite down. Blood.
Her voices pour into my mouth, up through my eyes.
I can’t think. I can’t anchor. My form frays.
And still— I press forward.
The floor of the sea looms beneath me.
Glinting.
Shattered.
It is not mud. It is altar.
A cemetery of forgotten breath.
Splinters of lives she devoured,
Arranged like broken stars.
A child’s last joke.
Fossilized.
A final kiss stolen from air.
The echo of a scream that never breached water.
All of them,
Brilliant,
Ancient,
Human,
Not him.
I begin to search.
Through resonance.
With ache.
As the voices multiply.

My ribs. My knees. My fingers ache.
The seabed yawns beneath me as I continue forward, searching. Memory fragments litter the floor— bright as innocence, glinting in the light they have been buried beneath
all this time.

But these beautiful,
shining memories, none belong to the one I seek. No, they are the humans she has drowned, devoured, and kept their memories as her prize, her entertainment. As if their demise, to claim the eternal memory of their humanity, is her victory.
It’s a beautiful,
tragic,
sickening
sight.
And to find the one I need
the one she has kept prisoner,
I must dig.
Not with hands alone,
but with this resonance.
I search through the wreckage with something
deeper than vision. I listen—
for that breath, that ache, that impossible note
of Death's
presence.

A grief so profound I nearly collapse.
I can’t see them,
these memories,
him.

Something answers.
Not a voice. Not words. But a cadence I remember
not by sound, but by absence.
A hush beneath the screaming. A tremor through the bones of the sea. It is not calling out. It is waiting—
—because it knew I’d come. Because he remembers, too. Even buried. Even broken.
He remembers
me.

My body
collapses to its
knees—
not in surrender—
just in
fatigue.
But I feel his hand.
Buried beneath crushed coral and brittle fragments of digested memories.
I
reach.

She doesn’t understand. She never will.
That I am whole because I remember who I chose instead of her.
She thrashes.
The ocean buckles.
I am almost crushed
beneath her weight.
My ribs strain.
My lungs ache.
My vision fractures.
She shrieks.

She’s jealous of what she herself refused to accept. I can’t transform an unwilling soul.
As much as she claims to want the result,
she refuses to trust,
to share control,
to let me share with her, the process.
It’s not that I withheld the opportunity,
she was simply unwilling.
Transformation is a divine experience.
It can be neither forced from nor forced upon.
But she cares not for reasons, cares not
for mutual agreement. She just wants
to take,
but she cannot take
from me.
I can’t let her distract me
with this
slander.
I close my hands
around him.

I grip
Death's memories
to my chest.
They
burn.
Each one flays a truth across my spine.
He trusted me.
He did not forget me.
He forgot himself.
His memories, they are almost too much too beautiful for me to bear.
They are not just his memories alone,
they are
entwined with
my soul.

Her howl
becomes a dissonance
that folds all existence.
She is a god without hands, screaming at love for having fingers.
I hold him tighter.
Let her drown herself in her delusion.
I rise.
But I cannot
stand any
longer.
So
I
dissolve.
Skin releases into air.
Hair vanishes into horizon-line.
Ribs fracture back into gust.
As I spiral upward.
And she closes her wound, a crashing sound that leaves no echo, just madness.
But it matters not what slander she aims toward the sky.
I am already gone.
I carry.
I return.
And she cannot follow.
And he will remember.
Just…
Just a moment…
Longer.
When we find something 𝑡𝑜𝑜 𝑏𝑒𝑎𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑓𝑢𝑙 𝑡𝑜 𝑏𝑒𝑎𝑟.
We may 𝑡𝑒𝑎𝑟 𝑖𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑝𝑖𝑒𝑐𝑒𝑠, because it threatens our 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑑𝑒.
We may bury it, because our envy compels us to consume it.
Through the fourteenth descent, of 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑊𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑊𝑎𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔,
We retrieve it.
And hold onto it dearly,
Until it may be returned.
