The Lament of the Lotus Bride

by deryaart

In a time before memory, when the sun whispered secrets to the moon, a prophecy spoke of a girl born with water in her soul. She was called Nyla, the Lotus Bride, destined to love the depths more than the land. As a child, she would sit by the pond, dipping her fingers into the ripples, listening to the murmur of unseen voices beneath. One night, beneath a moon swollen with promise, she waded into the water and felt it embrace her like an old lover. The lilies unfolded in silent welcome, their petals humming with ancient songs. Each dawn, she rose with the mist, her skin tinged with the soft green of pondlight, her heart beating in rhythm with the tides. But the prophecy had a warning—if she stayed too long, the water would claim her, turning her into something neither human nor spirit. With each passing day, her feet forgot the weight of the earth, her breath slowed, and her voice became the echo of the river’s longing. Now, travelers whisper of a woman seen at dusk, half-submerged, her eyes full of forgotten dreams. She smiles, beckoning with the scent of blooming lotus, her fingers trailing patterns in the water, waiting for the one who dares to join her between the realms of sky and sea.
