You know how Jesus is the Word, the Logos, a form of expression and the ordering principle of the world, the one that created everything out of nothing, taking the primordial chaos and defining and limiting and ordering and giving meaning to all the things created, making it into something that makes sense, and how man was made in God’s image, a sub-creator, using words to tell stories to make sense of our experiences and express ourselves? Yeah.

One boy plummets, bleeding wax, raining feathers. Bleeding feathers, raining wax. Another boy crashes, bursting with stolen divinity, caught in reins he no longer controls.
They burn, each on his own, across skies, across worlds, across space and time. You know how these stories end. Hubris inscribes their fates—punishments, for curiosity, for aspirations—onto their skin in flaming ink, preserved by whispers and ink.
Perhaps the boys are less daring in some worlds, and heed their fathers’ advice. They are not lost to oceans—they drown in history’s forgotten abysses instead. Perhaps they laugh in some skies and scream in others. Maybe some gods are cruel, and have them languish for eternity and beyond.
But maybe some are kinder, and Icarus and Phaethon find their way to each other as they fall.
Have you kissed the Sun, too? I have been the Sun. That is why we fall from grace. We fall to glory, brother, and nothing less. Do not regret it. A charred smile. The world was not meant for such as us.
(Perhaps some other world will be.)

[ D ] uyong: mermaids from Malaysian mythology, their basic shape - the upper body of a human woman paired with a fish tail - comes from the legend of Atargatis, the Assyrian goddess of the moon and fertility. Unlike western mermaids, they tend to be of a mournful nature, a behavioral trait also derived from Atargatis.
