Dya! What the hell did you do to me?
The fuck you talking about? Who is this?
It's Trarte and it took three days for my eye to heal. Three days! Do you know how messed up that is? Gonmanal couldn't heal it! It just wouldn't heal magically.
Serves you right, asshole, you attacked me. Don't see how this is my problem.
Fuck you, bitch. When I could finally open it again my eye was blue. And not like cool icy wolf blue but aqua ocean blue. You fucking did something to me and I want to know what.
Really?
...
Ok, fine. Thats cool though, not something to be complaining about I think.
You're a goddamned fish, of course you'd think it's cool. Gods!
Chill, dickweed. Let me think.
I have one bright gold eye and one turquoise blue. I look like a goddamned anime character.
How is that a bad thing?
Hey, have you tried covering your right eye and looking out your left eye only?
What? Why would I do that? Thats dumb.
...
Well?
Tendra fel!
I am delighted to expand my vocabulary, please provide an interpritation of "tendra fel," tazho gamiwitich. <---That means "dolphin rider."
Why would dolphin rider be an insult? Tendra fel just means holy shit. Sort of. like, this is not important. What is important is that I can see magic out of my left eye.
Oh. Well that is useful. Your third eye is open. Better than you deserve.
Fuck you, what does that mean? You just hit my eye with water and I can now see magic?
How does that make sense?
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
Fuck. Salt's tits. This is my problem.
What?
I got a new job, dealing with this sort of shit is in the job description. You're fucking lucky. If it weren't for that I'd just be laughing my ass off and leaving you to it.
You're a fucking cunt, you know that, right?
You enscorcled me, assualted me, and ate me. Literally ate my flesh and blood.
But you think you're somehow entitled to my time and effort, and when I tell you that you're lucky I'm not telling you to fuck off, I'm the bad guy?
You are never going to let off that are you?
I'm agnostic, so I won't say never, but lets just say you don't have the lungs to wait.
... thats some sort of mer expression. Right. ok. Fine. Fucking tell me what you got and I'll leave you the hell alone.
Give me time. I'm going to need to pray and its going to take a while.
Pray? Did you join the priesthood?
I will neither confirm nor deny anything, Trarte. I don't want you telling him shit.
Wasn't planning to. Fine. I'll wait.
...
...
hello? its been a full day.
...
Surely you have something to say, I mean, even if its just telling me to wait...
Chill, koi!, I'm in training, that means I'm dropping in and out of shared reality. Just like you.
Oh, right. I'm just starting mine, I had to travel to meet my trainer. Did you get anything?
Oh yeah. Did I. Buckle up, buttercup, because this is going to get rough.
What? ... That was weirdly lacking in curse words. That is worrying me.
Good instincts:
Trouble comes in threes, as do blessings, as do curses.
Salt has declared that we were three, that we are three and that we will be three again.
For the trouble you caused she claimed your eye.
For the trouble you cause she demands recompense.
For the trouble you will cause she will require more from you than you thought possible.
As we three are the same, she offers her blessing to you.
For the traps that caught you she gives you sight to see.
For the chains that bind you she gives you a key.
For the cage that holds you she gives you a way out.
What the bloody hell is all that supposed to mean?
Yeah, you're going to have to figure that one on your own. I don't think I can tell you. You're too much of an asshole to hear it from me.
Oh, come on you fucking milu! Try me.
As far as we can tell, Gonmanal stole our names and replaced them with his choice, and some how we our bound to him. We're fucking property. Not pack members, except in the loosest sense.
... Fine, if you're going to just make up bullshit, I'll leave you alone. Fuck you too.
