their voice is soothing. it tells me that i am safe. i am safe. it tells me that i am calm. i am calm. it tells me to breathe. i breathe.

i am in an unfamiliar place, but i do not focus on my surroundings. i focus on my hands, my breath. the voice tells me to make a watch, a watch that will take my to the life i wish to see. it forms in my hands. i form it. or do i? either way, it solidifies, first the basic form, then the details, swirling as if carved out by an invisible paintbrush. it is reminiscent of a pocket watch with no chain. it is large, but small enough to fit in my two palms held together. there is a button on top of it. it is a gold, bronze color, with swirls and delicate designs like vines and leaves covering the watchface.

i press the button. it takes a moment for anything to happen. my body twists and disappears. for a moment, i see the watch, suspended in air on its own. then my vision goes into a swirling grey and i am somewhere else.

the scene around me slowly becomes clearer. i stand in a wooded area, though in this particular place the trees are spread a bit farther apart. it is not quite a clearing, but it is close to it. there are fallen leaves on the ground of bright red, orange, and yellow colors. there are people around, and something going on - i get the vague sense that there is some sort of village or bustling activity around me. none of this comes into focus, and i ignore it. i reach out my senses for any nearby beings, and i notice one ahead of me, slightly to the left. i approach him.

i ask him questions, and he confirms to me that i was a queen in this life. we did not seem to have a particularly personal connection, so i inquired as to where my handmaiden was. he pointed, behind me and to the right, so i turned. though she was farther away, i sensed her. i sensed her. i got the vague sense of some body of water behind her, some trees on either side, some people milling about - i ignored it all. i ran to her. she ran to me as well.

we met, and embraced. we shared whispered promises. after a moment of joyful reunion, we walked together towards the water. i asked her some questions. who was i? where did i come from? she answered me. i was her queen, their queen. i had been born as a creature under the sea, but somehow i had been transformed into a land fae. i asked how that was possible. she laughed, and told me, magic. i suppose that’s fair enough. she told me a wizard changed me.

i also asked if i had commanded ships. at first, she lied and told me no, but i saw through it. i asked her why she lied. she told me that i did command ships, but i did not want people to speak of it.

the voice returns, and i know my time with her is at its end. we embrace once more, and i promise to return with tears in my eyes. i take the watch in my hand and blink three times. again, my body twists away.

i do not know where i am, and that is okay. the most important thing to focus on was the wizard before me. i asked him if he was the one who turned me into who i was. he said yes. he told me his name, as well as mine and my handmaiden’s. i could not grasp our names, but after research i have discovered them. i asked if my companion was in this life. he told me yes, but he was not necessarily prevalent. i asked how long i had known my companion. he told me that i had been with them since we were children, and we had lived on the beach together after my transformation, when i was still very young. i asked how long i had lived, and he told me: hundreds of years. i asked him about my family, but the answer was unclear.

our time was coming to a close.

i said my goodbyes and took my watch in hand. i pressed the button to return to this life. i faded away.

my name was nimiane. my handmaiden was solenia. the wizard was isandar.
