Aeaean Spring Breeze - Prologue: "After Light, Afterlife"

[queenofnohr]

The sunset dyes the sky a deep crimson as waves crash upon the rocks. He and I are facing each other.

???: There’s something I want to confess.

He silently nods and waits for me to speak.

No matter how far we’ve come, it’s a sham, a fake, a paper balloon destined to disappear. 

But, even so— I’m standing here now.

And I’m about to start a fight.

???: —I’m going.

???: Hey, get back here……!

I shout those words at him while brandishing my staff.

???: The goddess’s protection shines from the heavens, and the magic of the Old Gods flows through my veins.

[a light shines]

???: Now, I spread the wings that the cumulation of my great knowledge have become!

—This is a tale of how I made peace with years of regret.

......It's not without its hiccups, though.
