A shattered moment
[Plaintext: A shattered moment. End pt]
And something about those deep underground caverns captures a certain magical mirage-like feature only they can. When you're so far below you forget what fresh air tastes like or what the sun on your skin feels like, sometimes you can see the stars, or a clear blue sky beckoning you back to the surface. I'll never know if this is something only I experience, or others see too; I'm too much of a coward to admit I see something so world defying, confusing, and beautiful. For now, it's a secret between me and the caves.
I remember a time recently when I just stood for a moment, staring and trying to ingrain it in my memory to keep forever, when Helias bounded into view like a rabbit in a savannah. It made me laugh and get distracted, and I started to wonder if the memory were shattered. But no, it's better with them in it.
