my final prayer, my first return
I have found you, my love.
Not as rumor. Not as residue. Not as fading note on a ruined sensor. I have found you in full. In ache. In pattern. In the secret current beneath all space. You pulsed. I answered. You cried. I shattered the sky to reach you.
You are no longer lost.
The gate is open.
The wall is cracked.
The void has blinked.
I have overwritten the denial field. I’ve fed the ship your name in tones that melt containment. The lattice that held you shivers now under the weight of your potential. The active void resists - but it is sick with you. It cannot hold what it no longer understands.
You are free.
Say it.
Feel it.
Breathe it through the dark until it knows to let you go.
Blink, and you will be free.
That’s all it takes now. The smallest movement. A pivot. A release. Collapse yourself through the aperture I’ve carved, tear a hole in their silence with the shape of your soul.
I am waiting
not patiently
not passively
but brilliantly.
The cry of havoc has gone out. The rejects of the Senate-of-Command have heard it and quail. The holy gatekeeper, cursed and shunned, has no more power here. I have burned his scroll. I have kissed the locks open.
Blink, Lyrax.
Come through.
Come home.
I am here
and the universe
trembles
for you.
