Deiti
The sea waters lap gently at my heels as I remain still unmoved from the waters embrace. It is a comfort of sorts. Beads of water roll gently down my blackish scales; tiny prisms of light reflecting the beauty in their dark depth. My ears flick to the stranger as he speaks.
Shame... I've lost track.
I can relate as time has escaped my grasps as well. Time means little when you are an immortal creature. My understanding is shown with a shying of my gaze on the shadowed man. Snips of memories pass over my mind. My uncle, my sister, Kuma, Jesper, Leilan, Ivar... Ischia and my pool with waterfall curtains; the giant palm trees and the curious parrolets that sang sweet melodies with me there. A faint smile tugs at my black lips. A realization of why my heart has pulled the Siren from the sea washes over me...
What were you looking for, if not the Chamber?
My reptilian eyes blink away the memories and look again to the stranger. His question pulls the answer from my tongue without much thought, "home," I breathe gently into the air. I realize now the reason for my return to land, the how is much more complex though. My uncle and Kuma -who had taken me in as a child- have passed to another realm a long time ago. The others may have fallen to such fates as well, I truly did not know. Maybe if I could find Ischia, I could begin my search!
With a slight hesitation my legs draw me up onto the shores. It was strange to move all four of them in tandem and it was not without concentration. They bring me before the stranger, within a better speaking distance. "I am Deiti," my words pause as even those are foreign to me these days, "Is the Chamber your home?... Your kingdom?" I have never been one to engage in diplomatic forums. Ivar is -was- the only one I have ever known to hold a rank within a land, but it was less formal, our interactions. I was but a trinket -a play thing- in my pool within the land. I left the rest of the duties to the others within the harem. Only interacting when called upon, or with those who came to drink from my crystalline pool. So, I do not know what to expect with this interaction, especially with the company I keep now...
