ㅤ ... A third light. Crimson, piercing the billowing black clouds and roiling thunders. Yet it was not warm. It was the color of a threat, with the energy of a warning.

ㅤ Finyl's brow furrows. As both singularities vanish, only a tiny red gleam escapes from Finyl's pupils.

the rain that comes too close to steam.

ㅤ Into these two possibilities, she stares, each singularity so infinitesimal that she keeps them controlled. So tiny are the holes poked into the fabric of the world that they only continue to exist by Finyl's will. Each a choice at her fingertips.

a miniscule singularity siphoning the falling rains. In the other, light radiates from absolutely nothing; a singularity, too, yet of an inverse flow. Up she throws it, the opposite direction of the first, and a miniscule white hole blasts alive, plasma and heat scorching the soil and turning

prolonged attempt at patience not a mercy at all? It was a struggle not to believe that Veritate might have had points even he didn't intend to make.

ㅤ They stare into the deep black above, the surface of this self-contained story only lit by the lightning between clouds sick with tragedy. Finyl hears her name in every sound as she floats over the soil, avoiding her daughter's reach still. Almost untouchable,

ㅤ Others in this world couldn't truly be considered related to Finyl. They appeared from her aftermath, perhaps, but only Acheron and Sunny arrived as a direct consequence of her own. Beings who manifested from the earliest emotions of lovers - happy together, but they made

Someone never forgotten, only forgiven to be neglected.

ㅤ "𝐴𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑜𝑛..."

ㅤ How her heart aches to think about the cycle of her daughter's existence. To be steeped in tragedy until your only choice is to embellish the pain and cherish it. How she'd neglected not only them, but their mirror -

ㅤ In the howl of the winds. The haze of black rain. The falling of dying branches, and the squelching of the mud they collide with.

ㅤ Her name. Whispers of an emotion never locked away, yet recessed for eons. Murmurs from and about someone whose darkened reach clutches the world.
