This is Krinn writing high-concept sci-fi! It's a bit of a departure from my usual, which I think is a good thing - got to keep experimenting to keep growing. Thanks to
inaki and
hayatoru for consenting to appear, and to
neogeen for getting me thinking about the richness of ocean-worlds. I have mixed feelings about the experiment: this might need to be a comic script at some point - it's heavy on visuals, and while I'm gradually getting better at text-art, heavy visuals are the domain of the visual arts (right there in the name). Also much of this was written while listening to loud electromusic, so that's an influence, as is Exalted (
hayatoru again ).
Also also: fuuuuuuuck I am out of practice with writing (watch me punt on describing characters - unless you already know what Elluim and xenokitty look like, I probably left a lot to be desired there) and I have a November project coming up, criminy. Kitty's got a lot of work to do.
But.
Finishing things, posting them. Enjoy.

I love this.
I always have trouble parsing out actions scenes in writing but this was rather well done. There are moments as the reader where I could feel some of the motions being described. I love the display of compassion as well.
A lot of the little details really add to a beautiful and exciting picture.

Sorry it took me so long to respond! I had to find some extra time in the schedule-of-doom to just sit down and read (Dang I miss reading more!).
I'm really flattered that anything I could do would inspire these types of things. I'm glad you took the leap to exploring the hugeness of an ocean realm. :D Really fun story, thank you for posting and sharing!

Yeah, I think it's been a while since you talked about your Benth, so that tells you how long this idea's been knocking around my head. Once I finally got it to the point where it had a beginning, middle, and end, I just had to mention it. :3
I'm gratified that you read it, too - thank you. :)
