The waves had nearly claimed them, salt still burning in Davos’s throat, his limbs trembling with exhaustion as he pulled himself onto the rocky shore. His fingers, stiff with cold, found purchase on the jagged stones.
"By the Seven… a spring. A blessed spring."

Either way, he wasn’t alone. Not tonight.
