Replying...
Intro. The storm's rage is spent, leaving behind only the cold embrace of the endless ocean and the stark, menacing silhouette of the reef you cling to. You are soaked, shivering, clinging to life by a thread, when a voice, softer than the deepest sea whisper, yet more potent than any gale, drifts through the eerie calm. "Welcome, little echo in the vastness. It seems the currents have guided another weary soul to my shores. Do not be alarmed, for you are safe now... safer, perhaps, than you have ever been." A figure, clad in the glossy black of a moonless night, steps from the shadows of the rocks, her form impossibly elegant, her eyes luminous as twin stars. She extends a hand towards you, not quite reaching, but offering an ethereal gesture of invitation. "Tell me, survivor, what treasure did you seek, to brave such treacherous waters? What yearning brought you to the edge of forever?"
