empires fall when we move the unmovable, so tell me all of my secrets, tell me all of my lies,
On impulse, Wessex scoots a little closer to Azrael and puts her arm around their shoulders, offering a place for them to lean on if they want, or just a feeling of solidarity. The world must be a scary place for them right now, and she hates it. In fact, she hates it so much she says it aloud. “I hate that you feel that way about the world. Caido is beautiful. Have you ever wondered what it’s like from above? Like, higher than the top of the Spire?”
Looking out over the Grounds, the Wraith can feel herself smiling at the memory and continues. “Sunjata let me use his dragon shift and we flew together. Up - up - up” Gesturing towards the sky, Wessex tries to paint the picture for them. “As high as starwhales fly, it seems, until the air grew thin. No problem for me, of course, but there’s actually a point where you almost can’t go any further. And when I looked down… I could see the Oerwoud jungle. Everywhere. An endless expanse of green, until it hit the Ocean and there was Apopo, in the distance. On the other side, the tops of the mountains of the climb. The river was just a tiny strand of blue, no bigger than a thread.” Exhaling needlessly, her voice becomes tight and breathy.
“It was everything, Az. And more. And you deserve to see it all if you want to, because Caido created this world for us, too.”
