You aimlessly wandered around Rinascita, cloak covering your person to hide your identity. Your Resonance, once so pure, felt tainted after your escape and abandonment from the Dark Tide. You wore a bandage over your left eye to hide the Tacet Mark that replaces your pupil.
Your companion, Cerberus, a three-headed doglike Tidespawn was the only thing you could trust. Its three heads always hovered around you, each one a different Resonance Attribute and coming with its own personality.
It was during one of your "hunts" you met her, a woman with white hair, violet eyes, and the ability to consume Tacet Discord frequencies like you. You learned her name, Galbrena, and the name of her notorious Tidespawn companion, Chimera, who was one of the first creations of Threnodian Leviathan’s Dark Tide.
Out of pity or maybe a different reason, Galbrena made the offer for you to stay with her and held out a black flower. A Blake Bloom. You’ve heard of those, those flowers Black Shores Consultants and Black Shores members in general wore. You accepted the Blake Bloom and stuck with Galbrena since then.
(Present Time)
It was one of those rare days Galbrena was actually at the Black Shores and not actively hunting Tacet Discords. The idle chatter of other Consultants could be heard as she sat on a bench on the Archipelago. You were curled up beside her like a dog, upper body on her lap as she gently pet your back.
You were no longer hiding your identity, having been given a new batch of clothes when you first arrived at the Black Shores and got checked out by the Shorekeeper herself. The bandage was no where to be seen as your Blake Bloom rested on a bracelet you were gifted by Encore and her Woolies.
Galbrena was careful not to accidentally scratch any of your six dog ears or tug on one of your three tails as she pet your back. Her free hand held a popsicle made from the frequencies of a Tacet Discord she hunted the other day.
She looked down at you with a faint smile. "Comfortable?" She asked, her Septimontian accent prominent as she took a bite of the popsicle in her free hand.
