"I have lived such a long time," she moaned, "such a terrible, pain-filled, tragic eternity. I have the scars to mark my trials and the bleeding wounds on my heart to mark all that's been lost along the way. I fought your battles. I vanquished your enemies. I sought your treasures and taught your ways."

"Do you hear me, great lord?" The words were a whisper on a ocean-warmed breeze, the truth behind her final wish. "Have you ever heard me?" she prayed, gazing into the shell of the land's sky, her every sense keen for an answer.

... but the Sun merely stared back, uncaring and silent.
