Ah hell, this is about to be depressing isn't it?

Yep super depressing. You know now that I think about it, I never really fully digested how horrifying this whole ordeal has been for Veyla. One day you're living peacefully on your homeworld only for the stuff of nightmares you had only heard stories about suddenly returns and starts slaughtering your people seemingly out of nowhere. But he doesn't stop there, no no no, that would be too easy, he then enslaves some of you, yourself included, by pulling on a fire within you that makes you seek out the pain and destruction of your loved ones. A terrifying prospect but at least it keeps you from remembering your planet has been reduced to a smoking crater.

For a brief time, you escape him, your mind now your own you have the ability to once again think about that daunting fact. At least you have the knowledge that some of your people made it out of Somorah and have something resembling home in a foreign world with heroes willing to protect. Except, you begin to feel that all too familiar pull reaching deep inside you in an effort to force you into submission. The worst part is you know you can't fight it forever. The second worst part is you know this likely means the one responsible for all this pain and misery inside you is on his way to hurt you and those you love and he's likely going to make you be the one responsible for all of it and just for shits and giggles I might add.

I've said it before, but I genuinely do love that Alz'ein isn't labeling Veyla as a traitor right out the gate. It characterizes how much she actually she cares more about things beyond strength and combat.

babe wake up, new dragonfable ship just dropped

isiri: i know what you are

The Abyss shivered within, for Isiri was the Abyss and the Abyss was she. But the mind was tricky, for such beings were not made to think, at least not in the same ways that follow the limitations of neurons or brain cells. Memories of her life prior to awakening often conflated or contradicted with the things before her eyes. Cultures mixed and fused, but one thing remained clear: purpose.

The natural order of things was the ideal. Such details were a constant shifting pool of murk, secrets, and darkness, as was the nature of the Abyss. But the constant remained: it was the purpose for its existence, in this form or any other. However, the will of nature was that at times, those in nature called for it. And so here she came, though at the time she didn’t know it. But now she did, Awake and getting used to being able to exert her control over darkness and the sea, for they were her. Yet here she was; a fish and an entity who was summoned, through what methods were not quite yet known to her, to the presence of a people she never knew before yet always knew. So far from Earth and home, and yet still so bonded, woven within a tapestry of sea water, space, time, and Glass.

Isiri lowered her head watching from her tank in the Marine Biology Lab. The scientists rushed around, always busy, but at this moment even more so as the Captain had graced the halls with their presence. The energy had changed palpably, as each tried to show the best of their work to their leader. The mermaid continued her observation, not paying much attention to any of the words exchanged between the humans. In truth, the mermaid was uncharacteristically silent. No song burbled from her lips and gills, not a light from her bioluminescence sparkled across her scales. The Abyss was strong, dark and silent, working despite the stillness within this confined water.

Darkness knew darkness, this much was a universal truth. And in the eyes of the Abyss, Captain Tara resonated with itself. Pain, suffering, and perseverance were all there, as were pride, creation, and most importantly, hope. Hope for less suffering. Hope for true freedom. Hope for those who came after to not have to deal with the limitations of the present. Though she had already done so much, there was much more work to be done. The Captain was at a turning point, as was Isiri. There were many questions that remained. Extinction was the course of nature, but the Abyss had picked at Earth for so long. It couldn’t let go, not just yet. But was it right? Would direct action break the previously expended slight tweaks and suggestions made in the past? Isiri didn’t know. But she did know that the Captain was one of the reasons she was here, if not THE reason. And with her lay the solution. The darkness therein, roiling with uncertainty and hope were evident in the Captain’s eyes. Eyes that were lingering a bit too long in the direction of Isiri’s tank. Isiri met their gaze, though there was little doubt the Captain’s eyes could see her response. But she would feel it.
