For reasons obscured by the shapely thickets of a faeborne's control and cordiality, the former Duke Kalione Meandersong's coronet was whisked away in one swift gesture, leaving him bereft of authority and his Mother's mantle returned! For reasons emblazoned by the trembling fires of war and glory, Knight Gwenevere's army stormed the shore of Nereides and saw the Duchess executed before the effigies of Yama's temple! For reasons kept covert by the machinations of fate and fortune Duchess Melionette Meandersong was returned alive by Lady Life's Eulias, ailing and short-spoken!

Return from absence would beget no sure return to duty, reluctant to even meet the eye of Sirenia's children, save for a handpicked few. Beneath the shade of dark, favoured by Scylla's children dear, she would show her face only to prostrate before the bowl of her Goddess, begging for forgiveness in a swathe of shaking breaths. Rumours of surrendering her title passed between eels, sardine, and jellyfish would soon cumulate into truth, heralded by Nereides' croakers:

"Ublub, ublub, ublub!

Listen here ye lake loungers, sunlight see-ers and abyssborn!

 

Gracious and glorious Aglasia Oceansong is to be honored!

The idol is to serve here as Her appointed! The Voice is to be crowned Queen— eeek!

 

G-ghastly ghostfish.. I mean to say..

Duchess of Nereides!

 

Here here!"

The dear Voice of Nereides, Idol and Leucothean adherent Aglasia Oceansong seems to be due a greater title . . .
