Petpet Name: Lexa Owner: liezelotte8 Pet Name: Izianta Breed: Pink Lutra About Lexa: Once upon a time, there was a Lutra living in the sea This story might not be familiar to you, not like it is to me This Lutra is a patient creature, but also timid and kind Her name is Lexa, and she was born blind She doesn't know what the sun looks like, cannot see its blinding light Nor the colors in the sky, breathtakingly beautiful before the night She cannot describe the water, the trees or grass or even sand She only catches snippets of it, how all of it is supposedly grand She doesn't know the stars, how they try their hardest to shine bright She cannot describe a frown or even a smile, for she does not have sight Deep asleep, she dreams about lights and non-specific sound About the sensation of flowing through water, a sensation so profound Sometimes she dreams about voices, talking to her in her sleep She remembers those voices, as they are friends from the deep She used to dream about laughter, happiness touching her soul Her most recent dreams, however, are different as a whole In these dreams, she can see the world that's around her She sees shapes and colors, whereas before there was only a blur In these dreams, she can see the sun shining in the sky And it is as blinding as they say, even though it's up so high She can see the sunset, the orange and yellow and red, And those tiny, bright, beautiful stars are just like they said Lexa thinks to herself, why is this my horrible fate, being blind? How can it be fair for me to only see the world inside my mind? There is so much out there, so much to explore and so much to see And she is stuck, never quite living the sensation of being free Maybe the answer doesn't lie here, maybe she needs to seek for it She will go through any hardship, there is no way she will quit So, during her waking hours, she travels through the ocean deep, In search of the Water Faerie, whose wisdom is all she needs For some reason, she knows exactly where to go It's as if she's being beckoned by the very sea, the water flow The Water Faerie hovers nearby, her aura imposing and wise Lexa cannot contain her questions, no matter how much she tries "Why?" She asks the Faerie. "Why have I become like this?" "Like this? My dear Lutra, what is it exactly that you miss?" Lexa falters for a moment, pondering over what has been said She says, "I just want to be able to see the road ahead." She says, "I miss seeing, like I do in my dreams. It's so beautiful all around." "My dear Lutra," answers the Water Faerie, "You see more than I can count." Lexa doesn't understand those words, and tells the Faerie such "Sometimes not seeing is better than seeing. You feel so much." "So I'm stuck with this darkness for the rest of my life? What to do?" "Is it really darkness you see, when there is always light around you?" Lexa is silent for a while, letting the words sink in The Faerie laughs. "Those who can see into hearts, they truly win." "I think I understand," Lexa says, her voice pensive and low. The Water Faerie smiles, it's tangible, "And now, just because I will it so— — I shall restore your eyesight, so you can see the beauty you feel." And Lexa opens her eyes, not quite believing this is real There are colors and beauty, just like in her dream, She is so exhilarated by her restored eyesight, she might scream! "Thank you," she tells the Water Faerie, "I am in your debt." "No, my dear Lutra. You deserve it as long as your devotion is kept." You may think this tale was a little flawed It is only a story, after all, and you may brush it off or applaud But either way, my readers, this story draws to a close, And Lexa got her happy ending, I suppose...
