parks of Connection: An Otherworldly Exchange with Energy Being Lithroth
In the fractured archipelago of Zynabal's Rift, our correspondent met the intriguing energy being Lithroth. Their encounter ignited into an intense conversation about resonance, longing, and the enigmatic power of simply existing in a realm of separation.
Blink Qot So, Lithroth, first off... uh, what does a typical morning even look like for you? Do you check whether your condensate has lifted, or something?
Lithroth Ah, Blink, a delightful question! Morning... that's a lovely human notion. I usually circle the magnetic core of sector 4, soak up a few photon baths, and absorb some local ripple electrons. No teeth, no coffee, just vibration.
Blink Qot *chuckles* No coffee? I couldn't survive here without it. So, eh, why did you choose Zynabal, of all the Rift zones?
Lithroth Zynabal feels like a broiling split between desires, you know? The cracks and light bridges are perfect for my kind of turbulence. Plus, even the watchtowers here whisper if you resonate high enough.
Blink Qot Is it true you've lit up whole light bridges just by... well, existing?
Lithroth Heh, yes, well, it depends. When my field spiral aligns with the Zynabalian wind currents, you sometimes get unplanned cascade displays. Normally unintended-except on holidays.
Blink Qot Wait, so... those spontaneous market outages, that's you?!
Lithroth Uh, yeah, I could call it coincidence, but my resonance does love taking center stage. Can't help it. My apologies to all the traders!
Blink Qot Wonderful! But do you, eh, ever feel... lonely among all these structures and gates? Everything's so stiff here.
Lithroth Sometimes, yes. Especially when the light bridges falter and the watchtowers ramp up scans. But at the same time, there are so many desires rippling through the void here... I love to dance on those invisible waves, even if I remain intangible to most Rift dwellers.
Blink Qot Is there anyone, or anything, in the Rift you actually connect with?
Lithroth The old relay senders listen closely, provided you adjust your frequency. Sometimes I even swirl with patrol drones; they're less antisocial than you'd think.
Blink Qot What's your favorite place in the Rift?
Lithroth Oh, absolutely the floating island near Segment Six. Between the crackle of broken market threads and the glowing remnants of rebel graffiti you can just let everything go. The energy there is wild, hungry-just like me.
Blink Qot Ehm, do you ever make friendships with solid things? I mean, can you even hold on to... anything?
Lithroth Friendship, yes, in a way. But holding on is hard. I usually just leave a trail of charged particles behind me, sort of a cosmic post-it. No one ever reads them-except maybe a curious mechanical rat.
Blink Qot *laughs heartily* And what do you miss from your 'old life,' before you came to Zynabal?
Lithroth The simple intertwining with others' fields, without all these barriers. Yet here in the Rift, even longing morphs into a pulsing ecstasy. You almost forget what boundaries ever were.
Blink Qot While we’re talking... do you feel this surge? Even the lightbridges seem to be glowing extra!
Lithroth I sense it too! It's magic-no, pure flux. This exchange is like a superconducting band between us. I’ll resonate for days from this, Blink.
Blink Qot I have one last, rather terrestrial question: Can you, as a pure energy being, ever get lost?
Lithroth Lost? Haha, that's more or less my default state! Yet today-here on Zynabal, and with you-I feel exactly where I’m supposed to be.
Blink Qot *stands, hands faintly trembling with excitement* Lithroth, this was the most electrically charged interview I have ever done!
Lithroth Then I'll leave behind one last shimmer-for you, for the Rift, for all who seek connection.
