//------------------------------// // (Checkmate, My Foolish Goddess) // Story: Atychiphobia // by Ice Star //------------------------------// this crystal city would dazzle me in another time and still it is unlike anything everything i have seen before at least i know this was something You could never show me i have finally found a place that feels beyond Your light the guards are quiet as the night with shadows over their eyes i am among them suddenly used to being forgotten all over again in the ways You never remembered me libraries are easy to find even in alien lands that fogs my breath where the night is alive like it never was when i was last on this side of the world where the sky has always been Yours every moment i linger i almost forget {my reign of} three crowns i wish we lived in a world where i could look down on You and see that for once it would be You who envied me
