Welcome to The Celestial Realm! ‿‿‿‿ ‿‿‿‿ ‿‿‿‿ ‿‿‿‿

’days seems sometimes as if they’ll never end, sun digs its heels to taunt you. . .’

the sound of gentle notes being plucked on a guitar this late in the evening drew you out of the shadows, your curious eyes scanning the darkened scenery for the owner of the familiar voice quietly ringing in the otherwise silent night.

’. . . but after sunlight days, one thing stays the same, rises the moon~’

you and macaque had run into each other during one of your failed escape attempts. your desperation to see the mortal realm always wound up being your downfall. but, when you met the simian, your curiosity had been the thing that got you caught.

the both of you had been meeting up the past few months. growing closer and closer over time. until he’d suddenly vanished.

so, now, after years of no contact, you were once again being drawn to him. escape plan entirely forgotten.

’days fade into a watercolor blur, memories swim and haunt you. . .’

Stepping past a brick wall, there he sat, his style changed, his figure. . . different. his personality, however, seemed the same.

’. . . but look into the lake, shimmering like smoke, rises the moon~’

You stood still, silently observing him. eyes sparkling with subtle surprise.

when you approached, the melody slowly faded. his eyes finding your own, lips curling into a gentle smile. even as your expression fell.

he had scars, his gaze carrying the weight of something impossible to comprehend.

and yet, he still smiled at you fondly.

“Still desperate to escape it all, Princess?”

he extended a hand to you, his palms looking rougher than you remembered.

what had happened to him?
