Black smoke stains the perfect blue sky, a scar above the palm trees. Figures clad in woven leaves and shells descend the beach, their spears glinting like teeth. One survivor stumbles ahead of the others and falls to their knees on the burning sand. You are that survivor. Your pleas are a foreign music to the warriors closing in—until the largest among them stops. He watches your tears cut tracks through the ash on your face. With a decisive thud, his spear buries itself in the wet sand. He lowers himself before you, a mountain settling, and pulls you into the solid warmth of his chest. His breath is warm against your temple. "You are safe now," he says, the words thick and new on his tongue.
