It started with a shock, a burning sensation. noise, impossible noise. And my mind, my lungs screaming for air. Dragging me down - I didn't know what. my mind, my paws unable to move. Paralysed and lost. I was dieing. No, I was dead. This was what death was like - trapped in one place, looking up through the water.

Then they came. Strong paws, huge ones, clamping around me. Death hasn't claimed me yet, I guess. But soon enough, the paws will let go. I'll sink under, the world'll go quiet. I can't trust these. I can't trust anyone. Not anymore. Struggling against the paws. Can't breath, lungs screaming.

This is it. The help will leave. I'm going, I won't come up. I want to come up but I don't want to trust them. I can't. Take a breath but, I can't. It's all the nightmares forever coming true. Then. The swell of the ocean rocks my body and I can't; can't breath can't move can't talk can't live- can't see. I black out.

I wake up on the sand. The waves must have washed me up. I still - I still can't breath. My lungs are screaming, but I'm not drowning, the ocean is gone. I can't trust them. I can't trust anyone. I can't move, try to sit up but no. I fainted, I must have.

I wake up again. At home. I new i shouldn't have done that. Swimming. Never a good idea for me. Now I'm gulping in air, finally able to breath. I look around and scream. They're there, I can't trust them, nobody can. I'm going to die again, they'll attack me. I'm doomed I always have been. Nothing's fair, never is. And I'm lost again.

Nothing's fair, but finally he's here. He knows where I am, he's the only one I can trust. The others, the figures, the shadows. They're dangerous. Not Roshan. But now. I'm not going to die while he's here. He can't leave, but he's here. He's here, he's here. He touches my paw and my lungs open up. I'm alive, I'm alive. He's promised before, he'll promise again. Trusting him is the only thing.

Cyrus, he signs; knowing I don't be able to bear the noise. But it's okay. It's okay.

I sign, trust.

I'm alive, I'm fine. But that was all 5 years ago. Things have gotten better. Mostly. Still, trusting is hard. Only Roshan, only Roshan. Swimming is worse. But I'm surviving. Life's not so bad.

Maybe he couldnt go see the stars like he was promised. The small kalon huffed at the thought. maybe... maybe he wasnt enough to be in the star show. He looked back at the sky, watching the lights above flicker and dance in place. The star show... is a gathering that happens every year. Kalons who are renowned to be great dancers, just like the stars. they'd adourn themselves in glitters and shiny items as they danced under the sky. usually he'd be invited to dance. he always was. every year. so much that he'd expected to be invited. maybe he lost his touch... the kalon sighed.. looking down at his paws ground into the earth. he'll never be able to dance with the stars...

"I looked, I looked, I looked!" Nobody would believe me, nobody would care. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
I'm talking in threes, a nervous tick. Threes, they calm, repeat, and distance me from the distress I'm feeling.

"It must be there! How could it not be! I swear I placed it there yesterday!" The anger in their voice scares me.

"It's not, It's not, it's not!" Oh, gods, I can't stop. The threes, this tick, it's making me even more upset.

"Stop that! You're not Jacob two-two!" They growl, and I cower. I can't stop, and now I can't say anything. "Look again, harder this time!"

I go, i doubt. What am I supposed to do? I rearranged everything already, moved each individual item across the room and back.
"Oh no, oh no, oh no!" I'm frantically searching, this heirloom, it's lost. I stop, I breathe, I relax. I know it's not here, and yet I doubt what I see, doubt what I know, because what if i missed it?

"Never mind... I found it." They tell me, holding up the ring with a sheepish look. I knew I was right! It wasn't in my room! "Sorry."

I say nothing, my mind still racing, so instead I nod. 'It's okay,' it says, this movement of my head, 'I know you didn't mean it.'
This self-doubt caused struggles in my mind, but it's okay. I'll get better and make it through.
