Heavenly WrathI thought it was going to be okay. I thought everything was getting better. He was eating everything I made for him, and he was having plenty of alone time when I couldn’t be there to satisfy him. I really thought everything was going to be okay, but I was wrong, and so was the Sea.
I saw the Sky in its purple tone beneath shadows of this scene. I called out to him and kneeled before him, waiting for him to speak, but his words were not his own in that moment. The sky was not before me, for in that very moment, he exposed me to his world of dreams. The darkest, coldest place imaginable...
Darkness filled my eyes as he wrapped his ever-reaching self around my body. I paused and held my Sky there, comforting him, but the words of his dream world continued, and as the words were coming, one by one, I felt him gripping me.
I loved you…
I loved you…
You hurt me…
You hurt me…
I do not give second chances…
Second chances…
Second chances…
And that was when I realized where I stood in the Sky’s grasp. I was ‘her’, and I would remain her unless something was done. I felt sweat rushing around my face as my heart began pounding against him. My fingers pressed against the garb my Sky wore, but I could do nothing to stop what he desired in that moment.
You would have been my wife…
You would not stop screaming…
You were so beautiful in red…
They took you away from me…
And you came back...
I was trembling all over. I begged for his mercy to prove my worth to him. I begged forgiveness from him, for I sinned long ago in his world by hurting him. I did not mean to, I told him, for I was scared, yet I was in love with him back then.
I do not give second chances…
Give me your knife…
Give it to me…
The tears were rushing at the corners of my eyes, and my breathing became heavy. My Sky wanted to return his vengeance. He was so determined in his grasp around me. I could feel his wind against my golden hair. His hands were all over me, but there was no affection, only sorrow in that moment. Only my obeying would satisfy him in this moment. As I reached for the knife the sea had given to me, my heart nearly froze at what would possibly happen next. But there was no turning back.
Give it to me…
Give it to me…
I forced my body to obey his words, and as he held my knife and raised it, the darkness faded, and I could finally see my Sky’s true face. It was this face that I knew that soon, he would be happy, for the sake of my sacrifices. He brought my knife down with all the hate in his body he had for me. I cried as he continued to bring it down, for I felt loss raining down my body, and as I looked down, I saw the horror of what he was doing to me…
I have killed her…
You are no longer her…
My hair filled the floor, and the horrible pain in my mind became unbearable. I cried and lowered my head, and all I could think about was how cruel he was to me. He was an unforgiving Sky, and my long-awaited punishment was given. When it was finally over, he held me and asked me...
Do you still hate me…?
In my sorrow and loss, I shook my head, for I truly could not hate him. I could not bring myself to hate what I had come to love and protect for as long as I had. Even when the Sea arrived and rescued me from him… Even when he brought his own wrath down on the Sky while I cried in the corner of the room… Even when all was said and done, and everything was safe again… I still loved him, and to keep him happy, I would do what I could…
The Sea gave me hope, but he also warned me…That if I ever failed to resist the Sky’s hunger for greed, the consequences would be dire, far beyond the punishment the Sky had given me. The consequence, would be a paradox within my Land of Dreams…
