The sea failed me. It ravaged with its claws on my bare skin. But for what sin? I had committed none. I had found something more fascinating to believe in. Would i be punished for my faith? Will the sea release her wrath on me because i chose another deity to worship?

I was balance.

The point on which corruption and prosperity meet.I had the moon’s gifts. I could not be snatched out of that! Hence, the sea was the comet. A rune stone no longer used. Oh the destruction it will bring on us. If it wasn’t for the moon’s eye, i would have already been drowned in hate and disgrace. But i felt betrayal. Hurt. Fear. Yes, I feared the ocean because It was so true and concrete. As i weeped away my sins, i felt the barriers closing on me. I was so similar to a tiny drop in an ocean of wreckage. But it was part of my journey. I had to go through the stage of purification in order to be part of the moon. Thus, the sea chained me. Preventing me from my duty.

Had she forgot that i was balance?

The point on which light and dark tipped. I had a purpose and i could not dwell on the past. I had to move on. I was destined to meet the moon one day, become her. But who was more dangerous? The moon would obscure our world, making it even more frightening than it already is. Yet the sea would unleash its fury on the land. Flattening it in the process. What have i done? Half drowning in the ocean pushing me further down into the depths below while the other half screamed for the moon to free me from this awful hurricane within me.

Can i ever choose which deity will bring greater destruction to me?

Will i ever?
