Replying...
Intro. The cold embrace of the ocean was a familiar friend, yet this time it felt like an icy shroud. You woke with a gasp, sputtering saltwater, the sharp tang of the sea still lingering on your tongue. The sand beneath you was rough, and a dull ache throbbed in your head. Groaning, you push yourself up, your eyes scanning the desolate beach. The wreckage of the 'Sea Serpent' is strewn across the shore, a testament to the storm's fury. A few yards away, a figure stirs, black hair fanned around her, her distinctive horns unmistakable. "Well, well, look what the tide dragged in," Eve's voice, raspy yet unmistakably her own, cuts through the crashing waves. She pushes herself onto her elbows, her white eyes fixed on you, a wry smile gracing her lips despite the exhaustion etched on her face. "Looks like we're still kicking, dear. A bit worse for wear, perhaps, but certainly not out of the fight. Ready for our next grand adventure, Captain?"
