lost at sea

It truly made her glad to witness the Sea was the same as she had remembered, his abode standing unmoved and surrounding deep water immense. She would dare to compare this earthly kingdom to the dark space above as they both seemed to stay still, no matter how many decades have passed. The star didn’t resist when the other pulled her along, letting them lead their way. Only her smile widened, an ineffable joy to see her old friend spoke through it.

“You surely have a story or two to tell too—”

      "many stories, actually,” they admitted, wind ruffling their hair as they walked. “Humans have the habit of telling their or anyone else’s story to us when they arrive here, and we remember each of them.” They liked stories, they could not lie about that. Be them true or created by mankind’s imagination, they always showed See sides of that world they ha not seen yet, and more than once had they been surprised by those tales. Finding something that still managed to puzzle them after centuries was a little miracle. 

      “We think you’ll like many of them.”

        He acted as if he was surprised when he heard their reply, with slender brows rising and lips parting into a silent ‘o’. Placing gloved hand upon his chest did he close his eyes, shaking his head ever so lightly. There were ENOUGH toys he could torture and some other ones he simply spend time with without ever touching a hair upon their body but they weren’t See–in Dante’s eyes there was a clear difference between toys he would eventually dispose of, toys that were only useful to pass time with and toys that he WISHED to break so much & would never give them any sort of relief. Always on the prowl, invading their mind, becoming their worst fear. That category wasn’t as filled as the others, See held a priority seat there. Though the Sea didn’t need to know that–it would only make them even more DESPERATE and it wasn’t time for that. Not yet at least.       “I have–enough. Though none of them–carries the name See–now do they?” Removing hand from his chest, did he lift it up a bit higher so fingers could tuck a few strands behind his ear. 

         “You should be–happy that I want to spend–time with you. Some can only wish–that I gave them a fraction–of the attention I give you. Feel honored and flattered–that I give you the time–of day, my dear See.”

     no, none of them did, and the Entity was unfortunately aware of it. No one else was like them to Dante, for there was not another being like them: any other toy Misfortune might have ( they thought all of this while being lucid, and this scared them even further ) would never amuse him as much as the Sea did. They were not a prideful creature ( surely not as much as a certain BROTHER of theirs ), yet the idea of having been forced to their knees and trapped inside a cage made them feel little and powerless; they, who were endless and as powerful as a earthquake, had been defeated with so little. They were not vengeful, but they waited for the day they would finally free themselves from the shadows which pulled them so close to Misfortune; but for the time being, terror was the most present emotion in their soul. 

       Flattered? That was the last adjective they would use to describe their state of mind every time Dante appeared in their palace, but it would be useless to point out what both of them perfectly knew. Their was but a game, an endless chase where the winner was always the same and the rules never helped the one who was bound to never stop losing. “How LUCKY we are,” they had to spit out, sarcasm dropping out their mouth like salty water.

                                she still could not believe they was standing in front of her. it seemed so surreal, as if he’d just vanish into sea foam once again. there was a smile on the young hybrid’s lips, she had returned home and she couldn’t believe it. she wished she could just run up and hug him but there were boundaries, there were rules, but even seeing them, even being able to see the blue eyes that held worlds in them--this was enough. 

                                ❝ i was content enough. how could i feel happy when i feel like you’ll always take a part of me and be half a world away. how long do i get to be with you this time before you leave me again? would it be a couple of days or simply an hour or two.❞

      some might have said they were just like the waves of the ocean, coming and going to the shore to their liking, travelling like a salty water drop from one corner of their kingdom to the other; and it would be a fitting description indeed. They were peace, but also constant change, and the fact that they had been placed inside a vessel of flesh and bones would not make them any different from what they were in their original form. They were just less FREE, more BOUND to one form only, infinity trapped inside a bottle. Like those genies in the stories humans liked telling so much. 

       "Some days, truth be told,” they admitted. They saw her need to wrap her arms around them and a light shone inside their eye, a silent invitation to approach them. “Our duties can wait.”

She nods at the sea’s question, her starry eyes close as she pressed the shell to her chest. “It really would be… but it wouldn’t last long.” And it was not even about the outer space. Such fragile item as this shell would dissolve just a few kilometers up in the sky and quickly turn to dust. Unlike her who seems almost indestructible and no force could end her existence.

A moment of her pondering passes, then she turned her shining gaze to See. “ —— Show me something else!”

      nothing could end the existence of creatures like them, unless another of their kind killed their human vessel or they themselves decided it was time to leave the world and come back home: this had they learned during their stay, and despite how much they disliked their human body sometimes ( too small, not powerful enough, too FRAGILE even ) they were not ready to come back to the sea yet. Coming back to their element would make them miss little moments like the one See was living together with Astra. 

       “Something else?” A finger tapped on their chin as they thought, then an idea came to their mind. “Have you ever swum with a siren before, Astra?”

[deprxfundis]

puellastri:

              Not even seconds pass before the star returned his embrace, with her stardust arms wrapping around his shoulders and face gently nuzzling his watery hair. She tightened her hug, pressing See closer, unafraid that he might dissolve under her warming touch. Everything comes from there - the cosmos - and her, her brothers and sisters - the stars. Things small and big, tiny and huge, beings bestowed with the life force. It all once was a part of Space and always belonged to it.

              I’m home.

     they are all part of a family where blood bounds do not exist, yet the love everyone feels for the other ( except for some rare exceptions: the Sea and Sin were an example of it ) is even stronger than the one human siblings will ever feel for each other. Love as deep as the sea, as bright as the moon and the stars, as immense as the sky: these are just some of the best way to describe it, and they are not enough. Words are never enough when it comes to talk about such Entities, similar to gods but never claiming that name for themselves. They are different from any imaginary creature humans could imagine. 

      It is hard to say how long their embrace lasted, and when See let her go it was only to take her by the hand and take her to their palace. “Come! You surely have plenty of things to tell us, don’t you?”

           “Fufu ~ ♥ ” Only sweet giggle escaped the captain’s lips as the only answer to that peculiar boy’s reaction. ( Peculiar as there was not a smallest shade of pink growing on his cheeks upon the sight of her bare skin. A pity, though, she wished to sea that face. Men are truly hilarious creatures. )

           As he would turn to her again, the black-haired was already tying the sash around her now silk-clad waist. Her fan once dropped to the ground as she was dressing up, her thin fingers brought it up and open again. But the boy wanted to leave? “Why, though? I think I’d enjoy some company.” And didn’t he just… appear here? It only tickled her curiosity to know how that cute boy happened to be around her, out of the blue.

      "we thought our presence might be a bother in such a situation.” Other women would have screamed and run away or yelled at them, hissing and cursing at children and their curiosity. Although they hated being thought to be human cubs, they did understand they could not point out their real identity in those delicate moments and therefore they simply went away. Mankind had such strange ways to behave sometimes, did not they? And after centuries spent among them, walking in their cities or making them rest in their palace in the middle of the ocean, humans still managed to surprise them in many ways. They were an interesting kind of creatures, when they were not busy destroying everything around them.

      ‹ ❃ › Down && down && down she went, sinking deeper into         the abyss that was the ocean, which had so graciously supported         the exorcist throughout her fight. Now, the battle had ended,         the victorious party sinking deeper within the womb of the ocean,         than the remains of the defeated one; what painful irony.

        Still grasping to the remains of her consciousness, Lenalee         allowed her amethyst optics to come in and out of focus - not like         she had much more control over such a detail. Yet, sinking deeper         within the suffocating resting place, the woman could not cease to         revel at how peaceful it was, her battered body throbbing more from         relief than pain by this point.

                   What an odd place. Out of everywhere she could imagine,                    it never occurred to her that she would spend the rest of                    eternity at the bottom of the ocean…

      they had been a silent witness of the battle which had taken place ( and was still going on ) not so far away from their island. Humans fought against a creature of a kind the Entity had never seen before; how odd, since they had been alive for CENTURIES and had seen any sort of living being which inhabited that world. Apparently, years spent living in that island did not mean there were not more surprises waiting for them. 

       They did not take a stand till they saw the dark figure fall into the ocean, water splashing all around; only then did the Entity take action, jumping off the cliff where they had been standing till that moment and landing into the water, letting it embrace them as if they were part of it again. A human being would die because of such a high jump, but not them. Their body was human only in its appearance, all the rest belonged to another dimension. Those like them could not die so easily.

      Mermaids turned to look at them as See swam fast towards the point where the human ( they thought they were human, at least ) had fallen, wondering if they would survive or if the waters would take their last breath before they reached the surface. The only way to find out was to be there to see it with their own eye.

llcuad:

         they had ran all the way across the country and sailed the seas on their own, only to reach the comfort of that place, far away from land and what caused their pain. bruised, wounded, tortured and abused, the moon ran to their only safe port, not really sure of what to expect. the one they ran to had no way of comforting them; not a single hug nor caress. and yet the sea was the only one they wanted to see. the only one in Nettie’s mind. and so they ran into the castle, searching for the other in every room until they found See.

            and then, they couldn’t face them. couldn’t bear the thought of what See would think once he knew- once he realized what had been done to his moonlight. and most of all, who did it. at his question, no answer came. just the sound of their knees touching the ground and the sobbing that came from under Nettie’s hands.                   

       it all happened so quickly that they barely had time to realize what was happening before Nettie collapsed in front of them, the sound their knees made when they touched the ground echoing in the whole room ( such was the silence that had fallen when the Moon had appeared ). See was quick to kneel in front of them, their heart aching as they heard to the other’s painful sobbing, unable to talk, unable to answer, to say what was haunting and paining them. There was only one thing they could do when words were not enough, and no curse in that world would be able to stop them. 

       Slowly, the Sea’s arms wrapped around their sister’s body, pulling them closer and making them lie their head on their shoulder, not caring about the water which was slowly dropping from the spots where their two bodies touched. See held Nettie tighter every time their sobbing became louder, waiting for the moment they would feel empty enough to speak again.

“Uwah~ It’s beautiful, See!” The little star replied, soft sounds of excitement escaping past her lips. She takes the shell gently as her glittering fingers examine its surface. It’s rough and strangely pleasant to touch. “Of course, I like it!” The pinkish shade of shell mirrors in her nebula eyes when she brings it up to see it closer. It’s simple yet there’s something fascinating in the shapes and curves it models. “We don’t have such things in space— ” Of course, the shells are much more… tangible.

     it is a pleasure to see so much surprise and happiness in her eyes and face, as if she was discovering a whole new world, little enough for her to take it in her hands. See rarely smiles, yet when they are with certain people ( those who are closer to their heart, and they are not as many as one might think ) they cannot help but curve their lips upwards; and so it happens today, as Astra finds out about the beauties of the sea. “But up there you have a lot of things we don’t have here,” they reply. “It’d be nice if you could bring it home with you, wouldn’t it?”

[deprxfundis]

@llcuad

      "Nettie?” A blue eye stared in concern at the Entity who had just entered the room, and See wondered what on earth could have happened to make them look like that—so scared, so ready to start bursting out crying at any moment. They stood up from their chair and walked closer to the Moon, wishing they could take them in their arms without wetting their dress and skin. Cursed lovers they were, tragedy running in their veins together with salty water and moonlight. 

      “What happened?”

[deprxfundis]

@demonalia

     well, this is rather UNEXPECTED. They are focused on talking to the mermaid next to them and fail to notice the fishing net under them, and when their daughter screams in terror and concern it is too late: the net closes above their head and they are pulled up, towards the surface, in the hands of who knows who. Sunlight blinds the Entity for a moment, then they are thrown on the deck, water wetting the wood, seaweeds in the Sea’s hair and clothes and dead fishes around them ( it breaks their heart to see those poor creatures treated like that, but humans are not known for their intelligence when it comes to respecting other living beings ). They are not scared to end up at the mercy of some criminals, especially since they are in the middle of the ocean and they have thousands of ways to escape if they are captured, but recognizing a familiar face among the crowd which is looking at them reassures them, somehow.

      “If you were so KIND to free me, Captain...”

[deprxfundis]

           the stars, the moon, they have all been blown out

[deprxfundis]

@puellastri

      “be careful, it’s fragile.” There is a warning on their lips as they place the shell on her palms, making sure their skin will not touch hers ( but who knew if the water drops which land on her hand come from the shell itself or from See’s fingertips ). She asked them to take one of the shells lying at the botto of the ocean and so they did, and now they sit on the beach next to her, hair and body drying quickly. “Do you like it?”

[deprxfundis]

starter call!

[deprxfundis]

*throws glitter at*

      well… welcome back to you as well, Astra.

[deprxfundis]

                  and the arms of the ocean are carrying me,                   and all this devotion was rushing over me,              and the question of heaven, for a sinner like me,                       but the arms of the ocean deliver me.
