Title: Naiad
Author: seaislewitch
Wizard/Witch: Regulus Black/Bliss Fairchild Black (OW)
Rating/Warnings: G/PG
Prompt: 7 - failing
Theme: Grotto Vignettes

June 1982

My grotto nightmare ended when Bliss pulled me from death's grip. Now she required a miracle.

Desperate, we risked exposure, travelling to the secret spring.

I carried my unconscious wife into the healing waters. "Please work…"

Nothing happened.

"Spirit of the Spring!"

Nothing.

I waded further into the sinister cavern.

"I beg you!" I cried, choking back my weakness. "Cure my Bliss!"

We suddenly plummeted into a surreal world. The naiad's shimmering aura paralyzed and overwhelmed my mind.

With turquoise lips, she kissed Bliss's forehead, then mine, and sent us to the surface.

"Please, Bliss, wake-up…"

Eyelashes fluttered.
