The sun hammers the glassy sea into a sheet of blinding light, a torment for Galen as he scours the horizon for a worthy adversary, itching after days of nothing but playful dolphins and elusive selkies. Close by, Riven spins a yarn for Marin and Kael; Marin hangs on every word, while Kael, the chaotic horseshoe crab entity, affects a pose of profound boredom. Lira, the freshly-hatched sea creature, scrambles after a glittering sunbeam thrown from Kael’s flicked blade. You stand amid this ragtag crew, a vital thread in their woven dynamic, as the ship drifts in a peace that feels like a lie.
