Success

Pilgrimage

The eye is the size of a zubmarine, unblinking, a spiral-irised vortex of shifting pigment that pulls your gaze […]

The eye rolls. The spines move. […] five barbed tips brush your skin—

[…]

You wake on the beach, alone […] Of your candle, there is no sign.

Description summary:
The third paragraph varies depending on how many Audiences with the Bride you have held.

Audiences	Third Paragraph
1	Centuries flower like algae upon your spines. The high star-ocean moves, tides of power and light crashing over the darkness. Unwelcome fires in the resin-guarded black. A world lost, a loss promised, a promise made.
2	Something is missing. Given. Stolen. Bear it in your pharynx […] Hold it in your heart, an oyster-treasured pearl. This feeling, this knowledge, that you have been forbidden to seek or name, this feeling whose shape might be felt from its absence.
3	The absence is soft, as you once were, your fronds […] offering comfort in the shaping pools. Now, only harshness remains; the currents […] ever-sharpening, ever-angering. Absence and regret and waste-simmered hatred extrude in sharp and painful growths.
4	An ache. An absence. Was it ever otherwise? How do you remember that which has no name, that which is barred from thought? Unseen sentiment flows beneath the thermocline. Perhaps there are shapes that would pain you less.
5	Time filters through you. Worlds flourish and bleach, reefs in the wilderness. What is there to do in eternity but change? Ah – but the flame. The flame remembers.
