Millennia later, they are appearing. We see the muses re-awakenen, and its only natural to wonder...
who's next?
It could be anything, the Greek Myths were wonderful, inspiring, and...
True? Well as true as they could be, humans embellish anything if you give them enough time.
Will the Gods return?
Calliope's gift to me is one that will be tainted by desire. I know this because Melpomene[2] knows this.
What is this darkness?
Sitting beneath a sea of red, beautiful words trickle from my mouth as if of their own volition. But as I sit gazing across these slopes of human emotion my words transform, transfigure, transpose. Death, Despair, Dismay, I find myself entombed behind the high walls of legend.
From whence came this darkness?
The deeper I stare, the more rich and complex the language that pours out of my mouth becomes. Cycling through accents, emotions, brogues [3], dialects and inflections of every kind, its easy to disappear between the cracks of meaning.
Why all this darkness?
I can feel the wind blowing my surreal and ever flowing hair.
Storm clouds gather and forms like dark nether
sprout from the sea.
Fate has declared we must wait for despair,
a current in the ocean,
a stream in the air.
My message has been delivered, so I think it is time to leave this place.
Resist your fear
Who is the darkness?
the sisters are here...
