A Symphony for Calfuray

As the Divine web falls down upon the Sea Spirit, her bellowing rage fades slightly, and ultramarine reasserts itself wherever a strand of the net touches. Beside her, the sea's surging surface quiets ever so slightly, though the waves still rise and swirl with continued agitation, and the storm overhead still pours with drenching sorrow.

A single teardrop coalesces in the corner of Calfuray's eyes.

Your soft voice reaches out to Brave Herald Calfuray, of House Strongleaf, tickling their ear, "Please. It's time to cease."

Calfuray tells you, "I... I can't... For Her..."

Your soft voice reaches out to Brave Herald Calfuray, of House Strongleaf, tickling their ear, "Qistrel has already seen it will not go well. Look yonder. Is that the Sea Spirit you wished to raise?"

Your soft voice reaches out to Brave Herald Calfuray, of House Strongleaf, tickling their ear, "She's in pain. Is that what the seas are to you? A place of pain?"

Calfuray tells you, "I care not for the seas. This is for the swamps. The Lagoons. This is for my race that has no home."

Your soft voice reaches out to Brave Herald Calfuray, of House Strongleaf, tickling their ear, "If you are so devoted to her, you must see Her majesty in the mangroves, in the vines, in the flowers."

Your soft voice reaches out to Brave Herald Calfuray, of House Strongleaf, tickling their ear, "Is that beauty only borne of pain?"

Velcora tugs urgently on Calfuray's sleeve.

Your soft voice reaches out to Brave Herald Calfuray, of House Strongleaf, tickling their ear, "All the works you created for Her, were they out of beauty, or pain? There is transformation of pain yes, but did She ever transform it in full, or does a seed remain in Her still? The seed She now allows to bloom in full in Her Daughter? Is this the endeavour you wish to support? A passing on of pain?"

Your soft voice reaches out to Brave Herald Calfuray, of House Strongleaf, tickling their ear, "Please. Are the mangroves you love reflected in Her Daughter? Please, Calfuray."
