The roughest & most bestial of the ancients slumps down in the wilderness, falls to one side, breath steaming from its nostrils, sandscape slowing all around it, shimmering. Hunger, thirst & other lusts billow away. Long-dormant memories rise & fall in the dust devils, settle into place. Lines of force & fields of truth come clear &, in the shifting desert dunes, it glimpses lives in grains that seem to glint with sunlight: a caverned rock; an under-river; & a city lost & sunken where lush garden green clings to the golden stone & draws its liquid life from dead soul deeps, a city at the end of everything, graved in the antique song, the Cant, the Cant it too once sang. It hears it now over the rasp of its own dying breath, the last gasp of this slain apocalypse creature, even as the flowers spring up around it as the lightprince walks into the meadow of its death.

He crouches down to close the dead thing’s eyes then rises, looks around. A glint in the distance, a flash of his own sunlight sylph reflected, & he turns in curiosity, stepping forward, hair flown in his face.

The bolt hits him.
