Day 21: Lyzzorak’s Journal

The stars are so bright tonight. I kept thinking about Vex by the river, how he said the water knows everything, but I don’t know what he meant. I was sitting there, watching the fireflies, and I felt like the whole world was whispering to me. It’s not that I understand the whispers, but I can hear them. My legs are tired, but I don’t mind. I don’t want to move. The stars are so close, like they’re holding my breath. I wonder if they know I’m here. I don’t know if I should keep going back to the old ruins. It’s just that the wind feels different there, like it’s waiting for something. I don’t know what’s happening, but I know I need to keep listening. I don’t want to sleep yet. I want to feel the stars in my bones.
