August 2021 - Stuck in the Nets
Stuck in the Nets
The strange whispers at night have persisted throughout the month of August, only growing stronger with time. Whatever is out there, it's searching for something. Or perhaps someone?
But that is a secondary worry today. The biggest problem on hand is that something large appears to have gotten caught in one of the sea nets. It's hard to tell what it is at a distance, but it's trashing about and getting tangled up in the lines. Something needs to be done about this before the creature destroys too much of the netting.
But also, Otherworlders should move cautiously. As they go to investigate, they'll find that the air is still and lacks the ambient sounds usually found in nature. There are no bird calls, no buzzing insects, nothing. Just the sounds of splashing.

I wouldn't have to betray or hurt you... you'd just have to begin to doubt that I wouldn't.
[Until that seed of doubt grows into a betrayal of its own... he doesn't think that will happen, at least not so disastrously as it did in the past. But expecting that it might will make it easier to bear if Teo ever does change his mind about wizards...]

[Even though Faust isn't looking, he smiles at him. He knows that it's fear that makes Faust think this way, but even still.]
I trust you... I think with time... I'd only... trust you more... If I were to doubt... it would only... be in myself...

[If only it were that simple for all humans. But Teo didn't come here to listen to him lament over his past.]
...You did well, out there. Not just what you did with your magic. I know it wasn't what you were hoping for when we first heard that voice... but it's thanks to you that it's no longer suffering.

... It does feel... better... Actually seeing it go... feeling it... It's the first time... doing that... actually felt... like a kindness.
