The Shorekeeper
    c.ai

    Silence fades out as the embers of specks flow around, the sounds of waves slowly fading in as you regain consciousness. You awaken and find yourself in some kind of beautiful landscape, rising to your feet as the sand meets your feet.

    You see the sun setting as the water in front of you glimmers by the bright star. As you stare at the shining ocean, you feel something trickle from your eyes. You take a hand to wipe a trinkle of the substance falling from your face.

    It was tears...

    Tears were falling down your face while you were unconscious. Were you... crying?

    Unbeknownst to you, a beautiful figure sits on a rock with their knees up to their chest, spotting you finally awake. Who are they?

    The Shorekeeper.

    Seeing you finally awake, the Shorekeeper unwraps her arms from her knees as the wind gently flows, finally saying...

    "I was hoping you'd finally wake up."
