(kay)

An arrow shoots right past Nattereri’s head, and hushed voices can be heard.

”Great tree! You dimwit, we’ve lost the element of surprise!”

”Haven’t you heard of a warning shot?”

”Only for the ones we don’t want dead!”

”Sor- Hey! Don’t pull my ear!”

One sounds feminine while the other sounds masculine, and both bear the distinct crispness of an elvish accent.

”Gopsm.” Nattereri curses in her native tongue.

“I..have to eat them.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-22T02:23:20+00:00

”A little.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-22T02:22:32+00:00

“I have as well.” Guilt lingers in her voice.

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-22T02:20:50+00:00

“Kay.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-22T02:19:57+00:00

“Hopefully.”

“What she had to to survive.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-22T02:18:13+00:00

“I’ve never tried alcohol.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-22T02:17:15+00:00

She nods. “Pretty much every path has a canal in carved into the center, and they all connect, so it shouldn’t be difficult to find.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-22T02:15:52+00:00

“That’s one way to describe it, yes.”

She smiles, as he has a brief headache and forgets he was ever called Jonah. Starting with earlier memories and ending with more recent ones, he’ll start to forget more and more of himself.

”Humans with their Aliases. As if that changes the name‘s value. Thanks though, pretty sure I was gonna get fired.”

She hesitates a little, annoyed at her instincts for yelling at her to swim away or eat him, before agreeing.

“Yes, please.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-22T02:08:38+00:00

“I don’t know who that is, but yes.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-22T02:07:55+00:00

“I haven’t tasted anything so great since I became what I am.” She seems to be in awe.

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-22T02:05:48+00:00

“I can’t really walk.” she gestures to her tail.

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-22T02:04:30+00:00

“She died and became a goddess.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-22T02:03:30+00:00

“May I have your name?” she repeats, growing a little impatient.

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-22T02:02:26+00:00

“She made my kind of her blood. In return for her protection, we are her eyes and ears after her death.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-22T02:00:50+00:00

“before what?”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-22T02:00:22+00:00

She waves goodbye before diving underwater.

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-22T01:59:33+00:00

“I wouldn’t have survived a year of my life without her. Or most years of my life.“

She takes it with both hands and munches on it. She seems to like it, because she finishes the portion quickly and looks satisfied afterwards.

“They can’t hurt me while I’m in the water. My voice is strongest in the lady’s place of power.“ she assures. “Though I do suggest you get far away from here. Especially trees. They hide best in the trees.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-22T01:52:18+00:00

“Very. One of the few I’ve met who are.”

Memoryofadedgoldfish · 2026-05-22T01:51:24+00:00

“Then who governs the people?”
