THE UNSEEN

"The Silent Choir, The Unanswered Prayers"

"We are the prayers that mist dissolves.
The hands that grasp at a god's turned back.
Lunos, why won't you see us?
—Or are we the ones who cannot see?"

VISUAL DESCRIPTION

A crowd of translucent figures stand with hands raised toward a crescent moon that turns its face away, their mouths open in silent screams. Their bodies are stitched together with frayed red thread (failed bonds), and their chests bear hollow voids where hearts should be. At their feet, shattered prayer bowls spill moonwater that evaporates before touching the ground. One figure at the front wears Cove's face, their hands clutching a wilted moonflower that crumbles to dust.

SYMBOLISM & LORE

  • Averted Moon: Lunos' refusal to acknowledge them—whether from grief or judgment.
  • Stitched Bodies: Their forced unity as "Lunos' faithful," though the god no longer answers.
  • Hollow Chests: The cost of unanswered prayers; devotion without nourishment.
  • Shattered Bowls: Rituals performed in vain, their offerings ignored.
  • Cove's Likeness: The fear that they are too flawed, too human for divine attention.

DIVINATORY MEANINGS

Upright (The Unheard):

  • Your devotion goes unnoticed, but is it the god who ignores you—or your own doubts?
  • A community or relationship is fractured by unspoken needs.
  • Warning: Check your motives. Are you pure of heart, or are you repeating Cove's mistakes?

Reversed (The Abandoned):

  • A prayer rejected, a bond rotted from one-sided faith.
  • You've been lied to by those who claim divine authority.
  • The ultimate test: Do you keep kneeling, or do you become the heretic?
