:thumb631812733: The Ever-Under.She drifts in a place between worlds, a weightless entity floating on silky water. It feels like she is falling, and yet somehow flying in this land that is nowhere and everywhere all at once. There is no day here, only times when faded light dances above her eyelids and the sharp scents of antiseptic, sterile surfaces penetrate her nostrils - a living death punctuated only by the beeps of a heart monitor. There is no night here either, only a dark abyss of silence that always comes before her dreams.
It is fitting, she thinks, that at this borderline between worlds she dreams only of a Sea Serpent - a creature of the deep that surfaces rarely to taunt the imagination of those lucky enough to catch a glimpse of it. In her dream, she stands at the shore of a black lake that she does not dare to touch. Swiftly, the serpent rises from the depths; he glides to meet her, his silver scales the only light filling the void around her. Ink ripples in his wake, swirling thickly like molten metal

Mythical RealitySomeone is here. I don't know who, I don't know where, but someone is here. I can hear it. At first, I thought it was an insect, it had such tiny fluttering wings. For a long time I assumed it was a butterfly, something common like that. Something you would see all the time, especially at certain times of the year. But in reality, it was something few had ever seen. To the extension that they were all thought myth.
But the evidence was floating in front of me. I didn't want to believe it at first, wanted to convince myself that I was seeing things. Convince myself it was some kind of rare butterfly or something like that. But the reality was much, much rarer.
As a child you are taught to believe in the tooth fairy. Place your tooth under your pillow and when you wake up it will have been replaced by money. As you grow up you realise that the reality is just your parents planting the money while you slept. But this was no tooth fairy. This was a real fairy.& :thumb624065507:

I have to say this was fun. I'd be down with doing this again next year.
