Sage Protector Mark

Unkeyed / Incomplete / Unsent

Can you hear it, Rao? The thought like a gravity well, pressing down till we become diamond?

I can't open the door, the bar's too heavy and my arms aren't strong enough. My mind isn't big enough.

I think there was life in this system once. I don't know where it is. I can't feel it anymore. I walked into a room I thought was empty, and there were six Legionaries in it playing cards. I didn't feel their minds. They spoke and laughed and shouted at me to get out, and it was like clay figures speaking and laughing and shouting.

There's a voice, and it's getting louder. I think I might die trying to hear it.

Will you tell the others about it, Rao? I've trusted your silence so far. I hope I can trust your speech.

I wish you were here in the whispers with me.
