After the unlikely event of their survival against the sand sirens they had faced, they agreed never to talk about it (unless warning someone) and continued on wordlessly for a few days, both cast in a drifting haze of sorrow.
‘The Sand Sirens,' as Caira would write about them in her journal that documented each and every threatening affair she had encountered in the Omniverse, 'Are soulless beings. They will try and steal yours and they will succeed, if you let them. I still hear the hauntings clawing at my chilled skin and threatening to tear apart my thoughts. They are the enemy of mankind. If ever you were to fear a singular thing, fear these beasts. For they are the sheer meaning of inevitable doom.
Merik told me only what they did to people, (for he had endured their power and lay as a surviving witness to their destruction) particularly their psyches. In an endless torment they will show you your worst fears, emphasize them, then they will show you your worst faults and sear them into your skin so that you cannot face them. Then, they show you images, so surreal that they feel tangible. “These images,” he explained to me, “Show you the death of your loved ones a hundred times over and in each a worst possible way. They bring out all the negative feelings you could ever imagine and then they leave you with a curse that is based on your worst fears. A curse that seems endless.”
Don’t worry! He told me I wasn’t cursed because they hadn’t physically touched me. However, he left me on a sort of cliffhanger as I could not ask him what he thought he was cursed with. It left me with a vague sense of portent macabre. He implies with his tone that he wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I can now understand why he wanted to banish me away from the pain of suffering, sorrow, and malediction.
Between you and me, I think it effects his freewill..
Caira finished her sentence and felt a flood of relief. Perhaps now, her warning on her documented travels to this verse would save someone from a similar fate.
