I’m walking in the dead of night, the glow from the moon dances in the pools of honey in my eyes. I can’t feel this vessel I inhabit yet I’m hovering forward. Thin pale Trees brush my shoulder making me sway. I feel the cold grass embracing my feet. The sound of waves whispers liquid symphonies that calmed my psyche to near slumber...I’m falling asleep...

Zelane awakes from slumber finding herself up to her knees in salt water. Not being able to physically react she panics frantically in her head screaming. “I can’t stop moving forward” she thinks to herself. As she panics the water swallows more of her body. She takes a breath and closes her eye.

Suddenly...~~
In the wind, a cello melody flutter her ears and massages her essence making her skin feel like melting wax. Out in the distance; an elk lays on the calm ocean water. The elk appears as a shadow with the moonlight taking its back. Outlined by the moon on its fur the elk slowly stands up into the posture of a tall human. The glint in one of its eyes falls like water onto the surface of the ocean, cause small ripples. Shmino Sheds a tear, taking steps forward. The water now up to her shoulders she finally was able to voice herself. “My dear I knew it was my time yet I still fear, my wrongs only became colder, I don’t think I can atone for them here...” she quivers.
Behind her stood a tall man that wore a tall horned headdress, he starred. He seemed small due to the distance they shared. “Your sins have no redemption, your soul is the only exception.” He whispered these words that echoed in her ears. Her vision became blurred, swallowed by the sea then underwater she heard; a baby crying. Then silence...The sound of a bell Sounded in the depth of her ears. The sea turned to blood 🩸 as she ceased. The heart of a small boy broke, with sand diving from his knees.
