Dragon Warrior: The Undersea Tomb

★ An inspirational story, completed in 2024! - A red rose sunk beneath the deep sea. · ≮Red Rose: Undersea Tomb≯ "Meeting you was a gift from the gods." Undersea Tomb: [Seagull, complete] “Deep in the forest, I see a deer; in the blue sea, I see a whale; when I wake from my dream, I see you.” Like a whale drawn to the sea, like a bird returning to the forest: unavoidable, with nowhere left to retreat. “When seagulls feed, they plunge headfirst into the water without fearing injury. Some return with a full catch, while others may come back empty-handed.” Undersea Tomb: [Crystal, complete] “From the beginning, we knew there would always be an end.” Loneliness isn’t something we’re born with. It begins the moment we fall in love with someone. “Things reflect their colors; the sky holds no boundary between inside and out.” Undersea Tomb: [Lament, complete] In truth, we often know how things will end from the very beginning. All the turmoil that follows is just an attempt to put off the moment we part. “If I could go back, I’d choose not to know you. It’s not that I regret it; I just can’t face how things have turned out.” “Lies are an endless black hole. They pull people into an abyss of sin, from which there is no return.” Undersea Tomb: [Rose, complete] From the moment the rose came into being, the Creator had already planned this encounter called redemption. The white dove died in the church, while the crow carried a rose for Jesus. “Roses are a byword for romance. The ceremony of giving someone a bouquet will never go out of style.” “The gods drown, the roses wither. He plays the organ in the church, romantic and deadly.” Undersea Tomb: [Withered, complete] Time will not flow backward. Spilled water can never be gathered up again. A shooting star that has fallen will not shine in the sky once more, and a faded flower will not bloom again on its branch. “I thought I liked flowers in bloom. Then I suddenly realized that what I truly liked was watching them wither.” “When flowers bloom, people always stop to admire them. When they wither, they are always ignored.” Undersea Tomb: [Gods, in progress] The gods weave mysterious melodies through all things, eternal poems overflowing with endless praise. The night stretches on without end. The gods scatter light across the world, and so the day is born. “The road here was dusty and long. After all, the gods do not ease the suffering of mortals.” ≮Undersea Tomb: Side Stories≯ "The stars and sea do not include the common people." [Side Story] Sparks “From the moment I looked up at the stars, your plan was already doomed to fail.” Tiny sparks of starlight are like faint sources of light, scattered and powerless. “Do you yearn for the light?” [Side Story] Time The Archives of Time are a gift from the gods. The words written within tell the stories of all living things. “Hey, how about trying to outrun time?” [Side Story] Blaze My death will be the Undersea Tomb. A single spark can start a prairie fire. “This is a plan that will be carried out for thousands of years.” "Nightfire Society" We are reborn in the flames tonight. ◎ A series to be completed in this lifetime. ◎ A series that digs plenty of holes and works hard to fill them. ◎ No plagiarism, reposting, copying, or unauthorized adaptations. · First published June 30, 2022. · Signed on August 27, 2022.
