We can't always see what's to come but we can trust that faith will light the path
She sleeps and she dreams. She dreams she is a mermaid that lives in the pool of the waterfall, spending her days sunbathing on the rocks as the water crashes down behind her. She dreams of wars and peace, dreams of death and birth. But always the waterfall is there, always the whisper of a song in the air. The roar of it’s strength never far away. She sleeps and dreams and sometimes stirs but never wakes. Till now. In the cave behind the waterfall, the painted mare twitches. The song is no longer a whisper, it grows louder and louder. A call. Is it another dream or is this reality? Once before the song had brought her back and she fights against it, her slumber being so deep. But eventually… Eventually she awakens.
A wide yawn as she slowly rises off the cavern floor, shaking her multi colored mane as she gives her body a deep stretch. One eye of blue and the other of brown examine her surroundings, needing a moment to refocus. Everything is hazy and fuzzy due to being in such a deep state in the dream world for so long. Who is she again? Oh Yes. She is Piety and her kingdom was calling, it needed her.
Slowly she emerges from the cave, the water drenching her from head to toe. It wakens her quickly and she shakes herself off, a grin on her lips. Her two-toned eyes glance around quickly, everything exactly as she remembered it. Wading through the pool, she makes her way towards the small gathering on the bank. The song is as clear to her as it had been the day she was born, a song only she could hear. Melodies made from the healing waters that sung to her, a gift and a curse. Something is happening or else she wouldn’t be here. She wouldn’t be awake. New faces meet her clear gaze, all new except one. She would be paying attention to the words spoken but that old face makes her halt. It stops her in her tracks, disbelief turning into pure happiness. ”Dad?!”
