A Deep Sleep
"This feeling I know
Like a warm water..."
"Yes...I understand...
It is the river"
"River...but we
are not by the river"
"This river flows here,
Inside this body"
"What do you mean,
This body? This is not
Your body?"
She nodded
"yes, for now it is"
Persuveus rested awhile longer
The river was flowing inside him
"It will go away when it is done"
"Done?"
"Once you are healed,
The feeling goes away"
"like drugs?"
"No...it won't harm you
Like drugs"
The wind picked up
Persuveus smelled something on the air
"We need to leave. There is danger here."
"I will keep you safe"
"How can you keep me safe?"
"I have more powers you do not know"
"Why did you save me?"
"I was sent"
"by whom?"
"By the will of the earth and sky
And the cries of the innocent
Who suffer at the hands of greed"
"You are strange.
What did you say your name was?"
"My name is Ha'Mareopathus Operenthall
of the sixth tier of the Seventh Renewal"
"I will never remember that.
I will call you Angel"
Persuveus then fell into a deep sleep
She watched over him.
When he woke, he had forgotten it all
"Who?"
"Angel", she told him
