Biography
|
Mekara is born first, her small egg cracking quickly and cleanly while her larger nestmates struggle with thicker shells. She has her mother's currents on her hide, but painted in the corroded-metal of her father. She's tiny and beautiful, dark eyes and glowing runes as she settles on the ocean floor amid shell shards and shadows.
She watches, calmly curious, as Melusine and Merrow finally break through their shells and spill out, dwarfed by their size but unafraid, because Mekara already knows that size is no measure of danger. Melusine is big and Merrow bigger, but Mekara is stronger. The weight of the ocean above them doesn't press quite as hard on her, and her runes pulse in time with the rush of the currents around them. Her voice is flat and quiet, but carries the groan of metal and the resonance of power behind the words, and Jael knows that this child of hers is not a monster. Mekara is a goddess.

She is small and not as strong as she will be once she's grown, but Jael recognizes the shift of her patterns and the way the currents bend just slightly around her, the way the beasts that haunt the depths slide away from the weight of her eyes. She sees the inner light that brightens her runes and shimmers on her wings. Mekara knows what she is, deep in her heart that swells like the far-off tides. She is the goddess of the deep hunters, of the beasts and monsters that stalk beyond the sun's reach, of the unseen that will never know the touch of unsalted water or dry air. She is goddess of her own siblings, charged with their protection and their keeping. She is goddess of the leviathans with eyes many times her size, and they will find her terrifying, awed that something so tiny can survive in the weight and press under which they struggle to live. Jael sees and knows, and Mekara knows and sees. They share a look, a silent understanding, goddess to goddess. Mekara will leave them all too soon. For now, she settles herself between her nestmates, held safely in her father's arms, under her mother's watchful eye, and she sleeps. |

Jael & Astraeus
|
There is only one place as awe-inspiring, as beautiful, as mysterious, as terrifying as space: the ocean. There is a place where the ocean is deepest, where no mortal soul can hope to go, where even sunlight cannot reach. This dark and pressing abyss is where currents form, and it is here that Jael rules. Jael spun her currents in contented solitude, unbothered by the dark and the crushing pressure of the miles of ocean above her, for eons. She had never known companionship, for even gods found her depths unbearable, and one cannot miss what one has never known. Jael's peaceful eternity was punctuated by sudden, brief interruptions of leviathans and earthquakes, but did not even know what a mortal was until Astraeus found her. The Astraeus was an exploratory vessel, an enclosed ship of metal and magic welded by mortal hands, designed and built to challenge the ocean itself. He was a mighty vessel, proud and much beloved by his crew, so much so that he grew into something greater, something alive. The ocean is not something which can be beaten or dominated, however, and anyone who challenges it is doomed to fail. Despite all their knowledge and all their predictions, Astraeus's makers could not build him well enough to survive all that the ocean could do to him. Astraeus was a bent and twisted vessel when he came to rest on the ocean floor, his hull buckled and his crew dead, a newborn soul broken by loss and defeat and consigned to know nothing more than that. Drawn by the commotion, Jael found her way to the broken ship. She learned of mortals and how fragile and brave they were, how deeply they could love even that which they did not know was alive. She learned of the soul their love had given him and the pain their loss had awoken in it. Astraeus spoke to her of the surface, of the voyage that had brought him here. He told her of his short life, and in return she told him of her long one. Time passed, and Jael learned what companionship was. Learned what love felt like. Learned fear, at the thought that Astraeus might one day return to the surface and leave her behind, for just as few can survive in Jael's depths, Jael cannot survive outside of them. Time marched onward as Jael helped Astraeus repair himself, strengthening his hide and blessing his bones. She helped him give each of his crew what he termed a 'proper burial'. She continued to spin her currents as the day when Astraeus was finally whole crept closer. At last, she could stand the fear no longer. She confessed her fear and begged him to stay with her, to not cast her back to the emptiness that had come before him. Astraeus swore to her that he had never intended to leave her. That there was nothing waiting for him on the surface, that he had only truly gained life here in the depths and that he could not imagine leaving her or the graves of his crew. There is a place where the ocean is deepest, where no mortal soul can hope to go, where even sunlight cannot reach. Here is where currents and monsters are born, where love exceeds the impossible, where Jael and Astraeus rule. |
