The ruined church stood alone on the outskirts of the city, its stone walls crumbling under the weight of centuries. Moonlight streamed through the broken stained glass, casting shattered rainbows across the worn pews. Sammi and Eriko stood in the nave, the scent of moss and old incense thick in the air.
“Look at this,” Sammi whispered, kneeling before the altar. Nestled among fallen debris was a small orb, smooth as glass but pulsing faintly with an inner light. It shimmered, shifting between silver and a deep, midnight blue.
Eriko crouched beside her, eyes narrowing. “It’s beautiful… but I don’t trust it.”
Sammi smirked. “You never trust anything magical.”
“Because magic is rarely kind.”
Despite Eriko’s unease, they brought the orb home, placing it on a shelf in their small apartment. It sat quietly for days, humming ever so softly.
Until one night.
A luminous blue glow flooded their bedroom, waking them from slumber. Sammi turned in the sheets, her breath catching. Eriko sat up beside her, eyes wide, the light reflecting in her dark irises.
“The orb,” Sammi whispered.
It was floating.
The orb hovered in the air near their door, pulsing in time with some unseen rhythm. The very air seemed to vibrate with an eerie, hypnotic beat. Entranced, they rose from bed and stepped toward it, drawn into the luminescent tide.
With a sudden pull, reality cracked apart.
They found themselves in an endless twilight, an expanse of shimmering, violet-tinged space where neon fractals pulsed like breathing stars. Waves of psytrance beats echoed from unseen speakers, the sound twisting and morphing, resonating with something deep in their bones. The sky rippled like liquid sapphire, and the ground beneath their feet was made of shifting, luminous sand.
Then, she appeared.
A figure of incandescent blue stood before them, wrapped in cascading veils of light. Her eyes were endless galaxies, her lips curved in an ancient, knowing smile. She swayed to the rhythm of the invisible music, and when she spoke, her voice was a song woven from the threads of eternity.
**“Two souls entwined, seekers of light,
Drifting between the veils of night.
You found the key, you crossed the way,
Now hear the truth I sing today.
The pulse of the stars, the rhythm of fate,
Spirals unending through time’s great gate.
Love is a current, wild and deep,
In cosmic dance, no soul shall sleep.
Follow the sound, embrace the flow,
Let go of fear—just let it go.
For those who dare, for those who dream,
The universe hums in a violet beam.”**
As the last note of her poem faded, the air around them vibrated. Sammi felt Eriko’s hand grasp hers tightly, and in that moment, the universe itself seemed to expand inside them. The music, the rhythm, the light—it was all connected, all part of the same vast, unending dance.
And then—
They awoke, back in their apartment, the orb resting on their bedside table. The blue glow was gone. But the pulse of the music remained in their hearts, and the whispered verses of the Blue Goddess lingered in their minds, forever etched in the spaces between dreams.
And outside, the stars pulsed to a beat only they could hear.
