 faith be with you
Spring 1701 | Post Coronation
The time is early morning
 Talori Councilor, Nagisa Marinus, finds herself alone wading through Cascade's Grotto after a sleepless night of confusion and worry brought on by the abrupt changes her Goddess had commanded. She prays and reflects in the serene water hoping to find answers.

WIP
Nagisa steps into a small pool. Her body and the water are illuminated by silver moonlight. She looks solemnly at her reflection before dipping her head into the water. Her body reverts back to it's true aquatic form as she dives to the bottom, away from her sorrow and responsibility. It's a different world at the pool's floor. She's alone and It's silent save for the ambient echos of the water's gentle current. She takes a moment to just breathe, taste the water on her tongue, and feel it's embrace. She feels closer to her true self here, closer to Cascade. Quietly she prays...
Wave Mother, hear my prayer.
I call to you, a humble servant, a child looking for guidance. This life's journey has been full of rough waters, Mother. I have done my best to navigate them and to lead our people with the gifts you have granted me. I have been smart, I have been careful, I have been generous, and I have been strong. But Mother, it has not been enough. I have not been enough.
Our people cry for you, I cry for you. We ask you where you have been. Are you still watching over us? Are you still caring for the ones we've lost? Do you have him Mother? My beloved Thaumas? I miss him so. My soul aches for the time we should have had together. It was cut so short. If only I had known, I would have ceased my games, I would had given myself to him sooner, but we were both too proud. I thought we had the rest of our lives... I was a fool... and now my son is left without a father...
I meditate on my visions often trying to find the exact moment where it all went so wrong. I try to see if I could have done something. Could I have done something?
Sometimes I wish I could give into my dreams completely, where I still see him, my father, my birth mother, and you. I could live there forever, where I am safe and happy. I could redo everything, make everything perfect. I wish, but I know I cannot. My son is here, he does not exist in a time with his father and I must stay with him. I am more than I have ever been as a mother, but I have never felt so vulnerable, so unsure. Do you ever feel the same?
Forgive me, Wave mother, I should not compare you to myself and I do not mean to sound ungrateful for your gifts and my life, but I am both blessed and plagued by these visions you have given me.
I can see so much Mother, but I can do so little with. What use am I to the Talori? How can memories keep us safe from harm?
I am lost in this storm, please... help me find my way back.
