Week 4 Day 4 is done. Scrying day, but it was…very first person…
I was standing on the deck of a Longship and I couldn’t tell what I was wearing. The day was sunny, the wind brisk, and the sail was down. Oars were used to move the ship along.
A tidalwave comes and upends the boat and I can feel the weight of my clothing pulling me to the bottom. I’m grabbed by a sea creature of some sort and taken to a grotto I’ve seen before - Leviathan’s healing grotto. I was confused.
I see a stone basin on a pedestal and it’s full of dark water. I’m scrying inside of my scrying session. I see an eye staring back at me and it seems real, fully formed. I pluck the eye out of it and stuff it into my mouth. While I couldn’t taste it, I could somehow feel that it was delicious.
The boat scenario starts again. This time, there’s a tongue in the basin. I eat it, too. Next time, a finger and as I go to pluck it out, I realize my finger is missing.
I’ve been consuming my own parts! At least they were tasty (I really thought that in the session).
Leviathan stopped the scenario at that point and told me to write it down.
L: “What have you learned from this?”
M: “I don’t know. I was happily consuming myself, even after I knew it was me.”
L: “Self-destructive habits. You have some.”
M: “That could be a long list, depending on the amount of detail.”
L: “Pick one and get rid of it.”
M: “Alcohol or food choices? Something else?” (I’m still exercising regularly and losing weight from it)
L: “Alcohol.”
M: “I’m drinking on my birthday. Just being honest.”
L: “Fine. That and special occasions only. Or if I say you can.”
(I really thought about if I would honestly go through with this. I’m not in the habit of making promised I don’t plan on keeping)
M: “How long?”
L: “6 months or at the completion of the Kasdeya.”
(I pondered this for a while before agreeing. I wrote it out on a sigil of his, blooded it, stated my acceptance and he gave his. Then, I burnt it.)
L: “We are done for the day.”
