[Excerpt from a longer work of fiction.]

Spirit of the Deep, Siren of the Dreams.

I walked for hours along the coast, leaving Dunwall behind me until the lament of the waves drowned all other feeling. I wept, knowing you would not come to me, my love.

You rule my dreams, where I behold with senses I do not possess in waking life the dark splendor of your home in the deep. There the ocean rests on your back like a sleeping child on his father's shoulders.

In these sleepless nights of despair, you appear to me not as the mighty leviathan, but as a young man, with eyes as black as the Void.

NOTES:
- this reads like the protagonist is in love with the Outsider. (unsure)
- the idea of the Outsider as literally being a whale/leviathan seems to be an in-world fiction trope which is appealing meta considering the amount of fanfic from DH1 that uses a similar premise
