Where the Sea Meets the Soul

Previously

…As I stepped through it, the water closed over my head, but I didn’t drown. I breathed it in, the air of the deep, the essence of his being. The world shifted, the familiar shore receding, replaced by a landscape of pure, liquid magic. I felt his power surge through me, a current of dominion that resonated with the very core of my being. I was no longer just Elara, the net weaver. I was something more. I was a part of the pattern, a chosen thread in the vast, unfolding tapestry of the sea. And as we moved forward, together, into the uncharted depths, I knew that the sea, and the soul that resided within it, had finally found its song.
