More promptitude--didn't have time to finish it off with the last duo, but it's not too bad for that.
NaNo prompt, "Dreams"--221 words
Gods do not sleep. Why would they need to? And so, they do not dream. Dreams are frightening things for ones as old as they. But if they were to dream—not a dark dream from the back of the mind, but a daydream—they would dream of different things.
Sei Fan dreams of children laughing as they play. She dreams of caring for them, holding them when they cry. Pol Gin dreams of holding the world in his hand, his to break or preserve. Mai Nal dreams of dancing and singing a sweet song to her dearest of daughters.
Lin Sel dreams of dances with her two-times-aunt. She dreams of laughter. Lin Rel dreams of his brother’s company, painting pictures with sea and wave as they used to. Mar Tir dreams of his lover, of keeping him forever and ever. So does Mar Ter. He dreams of knowing that his lover will never belong to another the way he belongs to him. Nen Sol dreams of jokes and songs, of wandering with Lin Rel again. Nen Son dreams of not having to cry anymore, or of crying tears of mirth. Fei Mei dreams of love, and kisses. Fei Lei dreams of knowledge, all of it in her hands.
They all dream of something, the gods, though they do not sleep.
They do seem to know what they want, those characters.
Plan to have a try at the MM2 challenges if/when I have time today. Must go now, though.
