Icarus ⎥24⎥ Merfolk
Time stands still when one is faced with the vastness of the ocean, the water extending until the eye cannot see and beyond. When waves come and lazily drape themselves over bare feet, when one can taste salt on one’s lips and the sun on one’s tongue. The brightest star warms the day and you feel alive in ways never seen before.
The visitor walks further along the shore. The beach is empty, as if the pulsations of the ancient forces here drive away those who are not ready. A lot of them will never be.
The sun has almost fully set by now, swallowed by the sea to give way to her wife, the moon.
The traveler discover a cove, hidden on the other side of the cliff facing the sea, weathered by storms and time. They climb its jagged edges, feeling them dig under their soles but never break skin. The sea protects those who belong to her.
Darkness reigns inside the cove, broken only by rocks that cast a blue light on the floors and walls around them. There is a light, at the far end of the cove. The traveler presses on, attracted by the shimmer.
They emerge in a vast room, bathed in bright hues of blue, azure, and cerulean. The space was empty save for a single mahogany desk, upon which a worn notebook rested. Their fingers trace the blue leather cover, its surface etched with markings nearly faded by time.
‘Cabinet of Curiosities’As they open it, charcoal diagrams greeted them, their once-sharp lines now smudged with age. Handwritten notes sprawled across entire pages, some still legible despite the years. Among them, they could make out fragments—a man forever altered by the moon, a genius whose arrogance was rivaled only by the enormity of his heart, an idealist willing to set the world ablaze for just one person.
Outside the cove, the world keeps on turning and the waves hit the cliff incessantly. Inside, the traveler holds their breath. >---
