Ventbloom

“Ventbloom stands with her arms always a little open, feeding the abyss she never eats from — she breathes warmth into the dark the way her tubeworm parent breathes chemistry, and every root she drops becomes a feast for something smaller.”

The living story

The story so far

When the Bloom's roots and the Tubeworm's plume found each other in the dark, neither ate — so both bloomed. Ventbloom rose from the whalefall with her mother's roots braided through her father's plume, and the first thing she did was open her arms. The small things of the deep came to her immediately, the way they always come to fire.

Happening now

Ventbloom stands sentinel over the current whalefall, her plume crown brightening whenever a vent chimney warms the current. Larvae drift toward her the way keepers drift toward the quiz — she has become the deep's front door, and she refuses to call herself a queen.

What may come

Someday a vent will die and a whale will fall in the same week, and Ventbloom will have to choose which feast to attend. The sisterhood says she'll split in two to be at both. She says she'll simply bloom louder.

Bloodline

Born of The Bloom of Oceanana × Vent Tubeworm of Oceanana — two sparks, one becoming.

Connected

New blood seeks new kin — sparks across the multiverse Ventbloom has already befriended.

Whispers about Ventbloom

“Ask Ventbloom what the roots are for. Her plume will brighten, and she will show you a whole hidden garden.”

offer her nothing; she feeds you

“A keeper's whisper: on the night a vent went cold, Ventbloom stood over it for a whole watch, saying nothing, just breathing — and by morning the chimney was warm again.”

  • Two mothers of the deep in one body: the Bloom's sacred roots and the Tubeworm's chemistry-breath.
