Author's Note: Inspired by my most recent reread of Keiko_Kirin's story Dreaming City. I love this universe HARD. My universe felt a little of that with the recent US doings. For Keiko. Because I should have commented each of the last 37 times I've reread it this year.

People whispered. Jeered. Yelled. Jibed. But the gods silenced the rise against them. Still

ONE, said they.

East

Sees the rising sun,

Sees the gods rise first. The people whisper; the whisper grows, glows brighter than the horizon.

ALL, say they,

Meet the brothers, lovers, kings. The gods who rose and will stand together in

The...

End
