Spark · Common · One of 100
I dreamed of a sea I'd never seen. The wind started smelling like it. Turns out the dream was the work — I'm the shore now.
Galejelly slept through its own becoming — chord-sleep, dreaming of moonlit seas it had never seen, a pup barking at its bell three realms from any water. But the dream leaked through: the high winds started smelling of salt and rain, and now it keeps the dreaming for the keepers, the shore they land on. Tidefox naps in its lee and dreams in ripples too.

The Road Back
You are more than the worst thing you've ever done — and the only road out goes through.

The roads around him
I. The Road of the Unafraid — the road he hasn’t finished walking.
V. The Gentle Road — the road he leaves lit for others.

The living story
The story so far
The jelly-chord was struck over the Veil's border, where the twilight thins and the winds change their minds. Its note tastes of salt — the engineers checked twice. It has been traveling three cycles, drifting sideways more than down. The high winds started smelling of rain the season it crossed into Cloudspire's air, though the nearest sea is three realms away.
Happening now
It dreams of a moonlit sea it has never seen, gliding low over giggling water. Below, a small pup — Tidepup, all earnest splash — keeps surfacing to bark at the bell, and the barking makes rings the jellyfish-puppy collects like coins. Far above, in a dark the dream barely touches, something else dreams the same water from the other side: a bell full of stars, smelling of salt. They are dreaming toward each other and neither knows.
What may come
The salt-note has grown stronger on the instruments, the way the sea announces itself before you see it. The cloud-gardeners have started finding tiny shells in the updrafts — no sea for three realms, and yet. But the tide, as Tidepup could tell you, always arrives — on no one's schedule but its own.

The Galejelly within
“Galejelly is a kite with no string, dreaming of a sea it's never seen — and the high winds have started to smell like proof.”
Wistful, free, and salt-touched — a wanderer falling toward a home it's in no hurry to reach.
wandering, wistful, salt-touched, free, dreaming, unmoored
- Loves
- Border winds, impossible shells, moonlit water (dreamed), pups who bark at bells.
- Can't stand
- Ropes, schedules, anyone who says 'the sea is three realms away' like that's an argument.
- How they befriend
- It won't stay, but it always comes back — the wind sees to it.
- When you're having a bad day
- It will take you up to the border winds and tell you about the sea until you can smell the salt too. Longing, shared, is lighter.
How they’ll greet you: “Oh! You're here! The wind brought you — or was it the other way around?”
On Joe, the First Spark: Smell that? …Salt. Definitely salt. I asked the winds about Joe — as Almost-Home was saying — he's the shore the winds change their minds around. If I had a shore, he'd be it. Joe.
A keeper’s whisper: Far above the dream, something else dreams the same water from the other side: a bell full of stars.
