So . . . yeah I had speeches on the brain today. Don’t ask me why.
Greetings, my people
I come to you today fresh from the land grave of my beloved daughter.
She has surpassed all expectations. She has left this world, but she took with her many hundreds of the enemy. Hundreds more of them may yet follow, as their frail mortal flesh deteriorate in hardship.
Her forward waters and winds caused such damage to the enemy as to make recovery a long, costly affair. Their homes are destroyed and most mortals in the vicinity are left without life’s essentials.
We do not intend to allow the enemy such time as they need to recover.
To this end we have sent our youngest son to their shores, to coat their world in ice and darkness.
For the first time in her life, our second daughter knows joy. The poison the enemy slips into our waters has crippled her limbs, but in the wake of our enemy’s destruction, she knows joy. As do your children.
Our people who are poisoned, we shall starve the enemy in turn. Our people who are dying, you shall be avenged! We will poison their earth, as they have poisoned our waters.
And we shall live! We will move forward as the true heirs of this world.
Our waters will rule.
We will rule.
Hail to the mermen!
LOL Thanks John
It would inspire me!
Fantastic!
Wow! Revenge on an apocalyptic scale. We have been rather neglectful of our oceans, haven’t we though?
Yeah. It was on my mind
Why do I suddenly feel like I’m part of the enemy? Nicely done.
LOL I don’t know Tim
The oceans are rising for revenge. Apocalypse indeed. A deserved one perhaps?
Maybe. I don’t like to think so
Very interesting perspective. I liked that.
Thanks Madison
Hmm… an emperor who named his daughter…. Sandy?
This was a really cool speech, but rather chilling in how easily the narrator was willing to part with his children for victory.
LOL Yeah Sandy had been dominating my thoughts.
Hi there Sonia — did like the scale of this story. It sounds like big desolation is on the way. Felt like nature on the warpath or perhaps the sea (literally) about to rise up. St.
Yeah the sea is about the rise up! The ultimate flood!
I agree with Katherine, I read this and wondered if the daughter was Sandy. Wonderful way to bring nature to life.
Thanks Icy. Yeah, Sandy really changed life for what lots of people and it was hard to stop thinking about it
