Description

"It should have been obvious, right from the start. Or maybe it was, but we were just too blind to see it. Both of us. Even with the faked vision I was given, gifted, I still didn’t notice all the red flags that were covering every singe nook and cranny of her celestial body. I feel so stupid now. So, so stupid, and naïve. It was all way too perfect to be true – but how was I supposed to know? How were we supposed to know what was actual reality, and what was just fabricated illusion, when we were forced to be born in the hands of a goddess?

We were nothing but toys for her. Amusement. Pathetic, silly little mortals she could play with. Test our limits and boundaries, both physical and mental. I feel sick now, when I think about it all. Is Ajastaika still alive? Is he… fine? Am I? Fine, alive, or is this still just another illusion, another sick trick of hers? I can’t see. I’m alone. I feel like I’m in a void of nothingness, trapped for all eternity. Alone. So, so alone. I cannot bear the sounds of this strange reality around me. They suffocate me; but silence, it’s deafening. Like only my mind existed in this dark, cold prison. Can anyone see me? Can they hear me? Is anyone there?

When a kukuri pup hatches, it must break its egg on its own. It is the first test of strength and stamina, and while it might sound cruel, it’s necessary. If the pup can break through its own shell, it has greater chances of surviving than a pup that had to be assisted. So I was told. No wonder my legs feel weak, exhausted. I didn’t hatch. I was hatched. She opened the shell around me, around both of us, before we could even try to struggle on our own. How many nests did she raid, destroy, steal before she found us, cracked our shells open without killing us? Are my parents still out there, somewhere? Or did she destroy them too, just to get her godlike hands on their eggs? My stomach feels heavy even thinking about it. She thinks she saved us from a cruel world, when she took us from our families. Stole us.
She did it for us. To help us. Or did she really?

I have never walked, not really. I didn’t need to. She kept us floating like clouds, kept us off the hard ground so we wouldn’t trip and hurt ourselves. Only a little accident and we would have died, and she didn’t want that to happen. She did everything she could to prevent us from getting hurt, and if she noticed even a little scratch on either of us, she would destroy cities, worlds, whole universes. No-one was allowed to touch her toys. I’m amazed how I still have teeth in my mouth. Maybe she just didn’t realize to pull them out yet. Not like we really used our teeth anyway. We didn’t eat. She fed us pure energy, energy she harvested from stardust with that black hole of a face of hers. I wonder how many souls of unknown worlds she fed to us. How many had to perish only for us to live a little longer?

Are you still up there, Ajastaika? Trapped, alone, just like me? I’ll find you. I promise, I will find you. Even if it’s the last thing I do."

Life is full of unexpected events, and some may force you to leave your family to join a new one.
Not all that shine is gold.

First BTT for my lovely space dragons! Behind all those beautiful colors and magic is a tragic, dark world. Kaiho has a long tale to share.

ALSO that BG is inspired/referenced, I wonder if anyone can tell where it originates from? >:3c
