a fallen god gazes upon her children as she awakens from her slumber, tears falling and coating her world in a cloak of rain. what has happened to her precious children?

portrait:

a beautiful tragedy. a broken god looks upon her once bright creations, now withering away and corrupting. and worst of all, she is powerless to stop it. she gives it her best, really, but even as she drains herself of her own color and joy to keep her loved creations safe, it is all in vain. she can only watch as what she molded with her own paws crumbles before her, and now she is nothing but a husk of her former self; a moth shedding it's cocoon, yet it's wings are tattered and ripped, leaving it unable to fly; to roam, to explore.

she can fly; but still, she chose to neglect her shimmering wings, even though they had served her well, letting them drag on the ground and collect dirt and dust. she dared not use them, though she’d gaze at the stars all around her and long to be with them, to feel the cool air on her fur as she soared through the sky freely; and her followers below her would watch in awe and cheer her on. but now that they were gone, what was the use of flying? what was the use of her wings, with nobody else to admire them? her heart ached, even more than her paws did from all her walking. tears streaked from her eyes still, glittering like tiny stars as they dripped onto the earth; flowers blooming where they fell. sniffling and leaning down to the ground, she blinked back her tears and looked down at the blossoms. her wings draped lazily over her fur. “haha.. i guess even now, my first instinct is to create, huh?” she murmured to herself, ears twitching in a faint hint of amusement.

her world was still broken, shattered into a million tiny pieces, and she was certain that she’d never be able to fix it again, like she’d been able to, so long ago. but a spark of hope flared inside her as she saw the tiny plants sprout to life before her. maybe..?

no. she knew deep down, in her heart, that it’d be nearly impossible. her siblings, who she’d built this world with, only they could help her fix this mess. but she was alone. but still, just for a few moments, she let herself pretend that everything would be okay. it wouldn’t be. it never would be. but just for once, she let herself believe it would be.

and such was the tragic tale of reverie, a fallen god. was her story real..? we may never know.

          A Self Portrait (Audio Version) to be played as you read
          The kalon sits down, legs crossed with their tail in their lap. Tentatively, the kalon plucked the pliable tines along their tail; each vibration creating a soft melody. The kalon played quietly at first, and hesitantly they searched for the right melody. They winced at a sour note that slipped through their fingers. The song feels fragile, like it might fall apart if they aren’t careful. They begin to hum along, the hollow cavity in their chest amplifying the sound and blending with the melody of their tail. They only hum; the words to this song are not ready to be heard.
          As they build confidence in their ability to play, the tempo quickens with anticipation. They pluck the tines harder, sharper; they are less afraid to make mistakes now. No longer scared of being heard, they want this song to reach others, to be understood by others. The sound wasn’t perfect, but it was authentic. The mistakes they played were no longer a burden on the music, but proof that progress was being made.
          Eventually, their playing stumbled, and they hovered over the tail, reluctant to let the song rest. There will always be more they want to express, but for now, they are unsure of what notes to play next. They let the final note ring, the song unfinished but not insufficient.
          This is their song; a constant work in progress. A work of art in the making. As time goes on, they’ll add verses for the adversity they’ve endured. They’ll amend notes previously played for the lessons they’ve learned. This is not just a song, but a self portrait in its own right. It wasn't created with paintbrushes or oil pastels, but instead made with their own body, as a living instrument.

    Tick… tock… tick… tock…

    There was a slight ringing in her ears as she opened her eyes, the room only coming into focus after a few blinks. It was the dead of night, as usual of late. Stretching beneath her blankets, she immediately felt chilled as the covers shifted off of her. So that’s what it is tonight… Her body crackled as she sat up, igniting the dull ache in her back. She turned to get off the bed, sliding her feet into slippers before heading towards the door. Picking her robe off the coat rack, she wrapped it around herself and left the room.

    Tick… tock… tick… tock…

    Her feet thudded against the wooden floorboards, one destination in mind: the boiler room. As expected, the boiler had puttered off again, so she gently settled herself onto the floor to get to work, rubbing her hands together to warm them up. A number of minutes passed by, but eventually a slight whirring sprang from the machine, quickly turning to a low hum that meant it was working again. Yawning, she dusted off her palms and rolled her shoulders. Feeling tired but knowing she wouldn’t be able to sleep yet, she stood with a creak and made her way to the kitchen.

    Tick… tock… tick… tock…

    Making tea was simple enough. She opened the cupboard and grabbed her kettle before filling it, setting it on the stove, and flipping the switch to medium high. From there she gathered everything else she needed, and soon the hissing turned into a blaring whistle that signaled the water was ready. Filling her mug, tea bag in place, she sat down and held it in her hands, pulling it close to her chest. The warmth soothed her joints the way little else could. Adding a dash of milk and a drizzle of honey cooled it just enough to drink, and in the blink of an eye it was gone, taking the chill that had been clinging to her along with it. Rising from the seat, she set her mug into the sink before returning to her bedroom.

    Tick… tock… tick… tock…

    Upon closing the door, she dropped her robe onto the rack she’d taken it from and crossed the room. Easing herself into bed, she let her slippers fall from her feet before she moved her legs up, mindful of the position of her wing which was still carefully wrapped for sleep. She knew better than to mess with it at night these days. Glancing across the room, her eyes settled on its new metal counterpart atop her desk. It was not something she’d have made for herself, but she had to admit it felt good having the right weight on her back again, balance uninhibited. They really know me better than I know myself sometimes… Shaking her head softly, she refocused on the task at hand, arranging herself underneath her blankets and closing her eyes, finally ready to fall asleep.

    Tick… tock… tick… tock…

    Ancient trees loomed overhead like quiet sentinels, blocking out the sunlight with their branches that seemed to twist forever in the sky. As he stepped closer to the clearing, the once still leaves had begun to quiver, almost as if they were shaking in excitement. All together they sounded like a barrage of whispers, bristling together in anticipation of what was to come. He had arrived with one mission in mind: to vanquish all evils plaguing the nine realms. And his latest target resided in this very forest.

    Before him stood a quaint statue of a beautiful maiden, one which was beginning to crumble due to years of neglect. It would’ve seemed like nothing to the untrained eye, but he could sense a powerful aura radiating from the inside. He couldn’t tell if this was her, or just some forgotten shrine.

    But in any case, even if it wasn’t her physical form, it certainly held a huge source of her power. So he would have to take care of it soon before she had the chance to retaliate or find out what was happening.

    As he prepared to strike the strangest thing began to happen, various grasses suddenly shot up from the ground and tangled at his feet like they were trying to prevent him from coming any closer. And then a wild boar began to charge him out of nowhere. He was unable to move out of the way, and was subsequently launched into the air.

    Yet the impact of the ground never came.

    He found himself wrapped up in thick vines that had come over from the surrounding trees. Truly at her mercy now

    Peaks of light began to shine through the cracks in the statue, growing brighter and brighter until she finally manifested. The mighty Korupira stood before him, and he was stuck like a fool.

    “Damn it!” He attempted to free himself, but to no avail.

    “Ahh you are the mighty hunter? The one who swore to vanquish all shadow and darkness? How is it that you are so weak, so easily taken out by a feral creature rather than anything special?” She grinned in the face of weakness, taking great joy in toying with him.

    “Don’t underestimate me, especially after playing dirty like that!”

    “Dirty? I’m just using the abilities I was born with. Nothing wrong with that~”

    “And your attempts to slay me are in vain. I am the guardian of this realm, its protector. Why do you think so little of Daalhm’s influence has reached this place?”

    He scowled, tail lashing angrily at her words. “Do you think I would believe even for a moment that one of his own would turn their back on him?!”

    “I may have been one of his subjects in the past, but I’m not a blind follower.. His goals will cause a great imbalance and end all forms of existence.”

    “You need me, probably more than you’re willing to admit.. So join me as ally, not foe.”
