His Regret, The Crown's Claim
I was just another link in the chain.
“THE HARVEST IS PLENTIFUL,” the Goddess spoke. Her voice wasn't words but it was a symphony of bells, a roar of an ocean, and the whisper of a dying star all at once. “YOU ARE THE VESSELS OF DELIVERANCE. WHERE YOU WALK, THE LAND SHALL PROSPER. WHERE YOU SPEAK, THE TRUTH SHALL UNBIND THE KNOTS OF MORTAL LIES.”
I felt the other Speakers around me ripple with a silent, collective grief. We were blessed, but the blessing felt like a cage.
