The Curse Pt. 2.

Lady Kesh did not approve of the disagreements within the High King’s court. Our indecision and inaction as a species spurned the projective procession of the upper Pantheon and so, through her divine sympathies, she was tasked with punishing our indecision. Her punishment was harsh but just. Yet even so it could only have been her that would have such tenderness to leave us at the very least living.

I do not know how I will teach the children who are to be born following this fall how we have failed them. Not just in a moral sense concerning the High King’s court’s inaction, but in a practical sense. How do you tell a person who has only ever known the sun as the light that leaks from behind Kesh’s moon, a light that is forced into submission by her two lunar kin the effervescent Luneth and all-loving Uvra, a light that stains our entire world black, white and grey, that there were once these hues known as colour? Colour; a glimmer now dulled.
