Thoughts on Mist.
C’mon Grace, you got this.
Aside from the Morn I let a friend go and for moments I have travelled, my worlds have been clagged in. Water Whisperer said “it’s Winter Babe”. I shook my head chuckling. I hear him yet know it is not so.
Way back before the Worlds first closing, there had been a fire. It was your normal Ozzie bush fire. You know the kind that comes through too much undergrowth and not enough hearing original farmer lore. Yeah that, well aye a group of absolute dumb cunts wondered if they could work as a unit and put the fire out, you know, magically.
What a mission, days, hours, rulership degrees, cunningman trads, magicians (they’re the ones who winced at ‘dumb cunts’) chaos dudes, sympathetic magic types, may even of been a few witches, using whatever means they could to try and put this fire out.
Every being had different reasons for wanting this fire gone. From platypus to some Freaken old trees, to houses and material possessions, to Firemen and human lives and all reasons were valid. It wasn’t just the human Beings that wanted that fire out, Beings of Place were upset too. In the end it took a Dragon to bring the fire under care.
Regardless of the whole hoopla, we were lucky enough to have a Wyrd Kyd on the ground. And that Wyrd Kyd said “before the timing was right” and the big flourish of the Dragon, he had felt the misty layer of rain just beyond his place. As if something magical were happening but had not yet arrived, a liminal mist.
Yes it is winter, six weeks over two continents is a long time for a mist to last. A long time to be kept from the stars. A long time of no Sun. I wonder at how my vibration is dropped that I am covered by mist. Where once I would’ve waved my wrist and hit a note, parting and clearing the ways, now I sit bewildered wondering how it could all be so wrong. A cover, like a dome, I’m clagged in. My senses hit a wrongness whenever they seek to fly. Kept in a cage for my own good. Made invisible by forces, I don’t know. I do know that parting this layer of cloud above me, is possible. Some kind of attraction closes the gaps very quickly after parting and it is winter. Do I really want to see that which is being hidden?
