dragon eye of indigo blue (by paloetic)

The creature stared at me. I took another step towards it. The dragon didn’t flinch as I made my way up to it, sword in hand. Was it not scared? Every fibre of my being was taut with nerves. With each step I took, I waited for the dragon to snap and devour me.

I took the last step and crouched beside the beasts head which lay on the cold stone floor. Feeling stupid with my sword in hand, I lay it on the ground next to me. Maybe this beast could help me on my quest? I looked to the beast again and felt something grip my heart. It’s eyes… they were hers. But where was she? I snatched my sword off the ground and leapt back.

“Where is she? And why do you have her eyes?!” My voice broke with emotion.

“Just as you requested.” The blind woman pulled out a leather pouch and laid it on the table. The man looked down at the pouch and felt his eyes widen in anticipation. “I have told you everything I can. The decision is yours now.” She took a seat at the table without making a sound. Hurriedly, he took a seat too.

He looked at her and saw that her expression was flat. He looked back at the pouch and grabbed the hilt of the weapon and slid it out. He pulled out a beautiful serrated knife carved out of a glorious glowing, semi-transclucent stone that had hints of purple, blue, red, orange and yellow. She said it had been carved out of the only, the sacred, Stone of A Thousand Colours. It was true.

He sighed in relief, took the knife, and plunged it into his heart.

“We should head back now. The sun is nearly gone.”

“She said she was meeting me here.”

“She said she’d meet you here an hour ago.” I put my hand on my friend’s shoulder and felt her curly, kinky hair caress my skin. “I don’t think she’s–“

“She’s coming,” she snapped. “You can go if you want, but I’m waiting.”

I retracted my hand and let out a small sigh. “I’m not leaving you alone.” I tightened my scarf around my neck, hid my hands in my coat pockets, and stared at the cathedral’s clock tower with her.

White nights by (Juanfer Penagos)

“What do you think?” he asked. His hands trembled as he cradled the moon.

“It’s a little small. Don’t you think?” She narrowed her eyes to focus on it.

He took a step back and pulled the moon closer to him defensively. “I was out in orbit for weeks looking for this. You requested this.”

“I don’t want the moon anymore. I want the sun.” She pulled back the curtain and looked directly into the sun’s rays. “Isn’t it just the most glorious thing you have ever seen?”

He stared at her in disbelief before saying softly, “That would destroy this planet and it’s inhabitants.”

 “I will find someone else if you can’t do your job,” she responded back softly. He clenched his jaw, knowing he had no choice. She reached out and caressed the glass. “It must be mine.”

I peer across to the other side of the river. I see only land. The sun is starting to rise, and I must get back to my duties soon. I have numerous water candles in my arms. I place them on the ground, careful not to drop any. I take one, nursing it like a precious baby, and then ease it into the water.

Our people believe that to increase fertility and please the gods, childless women should offer candle lights to the stream. Each candle represents a married year without children. My hands tremble as I drop the eleventh candle in the water. I wipe my tears and look over to the other side of the river. For a moment, I envision my child as an adult on the other side. Just one. Please, just give me at least one child.
