In the deepest places unknown, far below a roiling dark surface, below where the bravest and hardiest of macroorganisms survive, there is a place. This place has been forgotten by all minds who once might’ve cared; now shrouded in absolute darkness, held tightly by the grasp of miles upon miles of water above. Once lived-in, its only occupants now are the algae which cling to its infinitely and infinitesimally complex and intricate surfaces. Its walls are rough and smooth simultaneously, textured as fractals. The curves and planes which comprise it fold and intersect in manners which should not be possible, or at least not perceptible to human interpretation. And yet here stood this child, perceiving the imperceptible, seeing this old sunken place, and seeing the far older thing trapped hundreds of miles away, preparing to make its journey home.
