"You came to me You were the sweetest apparition, such a pretty vision There was no reason, no explanation The perfect hallucination" Saw You in a Dream - Japanese House
🥀
I am standing above the Black Sea, and my arms are spread.
When the wind lifts my hair and turns my dress to marble, I take in a deep breath.
The waves below are anything but calm. Silver and blue depending on which perspective I take. And I am left to wonder, from the edge of the rocky cliff...
What if I jump?
My parents are gone. Killed by the daughter of the moon, who albeit lucid seemed without violence. I should have known better. Worse, I did not entirely blame her.
I would have done the same.
Taehyung does not like me as a friend, and never will. We butt heads, not in the way either of us likes. He refuses to place me on the council. Not because of my gender, but because he does not trust me with the next daughter of the moon. No matter how much I claim I have little ill will against her. That was the truth, at least for the moment.
I don't like Lily. The rest of the nobles avoid me because of the prince.
Then there is Jimin.
"Avoiding me?"
Speaking of the fool.
"Do you just magick yourself whenever I want to be left alone?"
The man laughed, melodic. His footsteps were sure as he joined me by the cliffside. I wish I had not looked.
He makes my heart speak what I cannot say. It only heightens my anger, and it is as real as much as my other feelings towards him. One never overpowers the other, as they equally consume me. I can barely take it. I stammer with my irregular beat, moving back a step and stiffening my chin with pride. It is my only defense left.
"No, I came to say goodbye."
My heart jumped from the cliff, crashing into the waves.
"Where are you going?" Too many words, I should have just grunted.
