One of your earliest memory was a ground, where you had been slouching over, cold and damp.
You were dirty; mud over your trunk and limbs, blood flowing down your cheek. It had been two days. You remembered not if the rain always had the stench of iron like this, or it was from
You were dirty; mud over your trunk and limbs, blood flowing down your cheek. It had been two days. You remembered not if the rain always had the stench of iron like this, or it was from
your cries of help instead.
Indeed, it was barely spoken. You could not understand our language, let alone voicing your thoughts through it. You were puzzled, scared, shaken. You had none but the earth to swallow you, six feet deep, beyond cold and reach.

It looked silver to you, the string. The one we let down on you. Small might your hands be, but they gripped
so tight, strong enough beyond your age. You were reaching, towards 𝘶𝘴; whomever would you deem as saviour.
“Aren’t you pitiful.”
Head hung low, you could not answer. There was a voice, but it was indecipherable.

revenge?”
Feeble might the understanding be. Your eyes were teary—one was lucid, another was bloody. The offered fingers were yet to be taken, our patience might be not at all so barren.
“Someone you want to live for?”

Feeble might the understanding be. Your eyes were teary—one was lucid, another was bloody. The offered fingers were yet to be taken, our patience might be not at all so barren.
“Someone you want to live for?”
It did not work. We would of course, by a sense, rise in
frustration. Rising were the tension, cooled yet by the downpour. What of it? A proof of our weakness?
“Do you want to live, boy?”

You would nod, of course. A desperate sign of perfection. As the wound kept on leaking, skin soaking—mayhaps we would return you into this mess of twinkling.
A strong grasp followed, and the last thing you remembered then was the amount of steps we took
together, to a home that never was.

You were always counting, Mithra. It appeared that as you got older, the numbers became the last things you could speak in your own language. You could not understand why.
Perhaps, the
numbers were not as unforgiving as others. Foreign may they be, but they were less sentimental. Limited might they be, but they conveyed less worries as you had wished.

All those habits remained, even after you stayed. We gave you an eye to see, a treatment for your cause. We
