The salt air tangled in her hair as the clouds parted and a dragon
soared overhead. Lore sucked in a deep lungful of salt, brine, and the
scent of an open horizon before them. One last time.
Soon they would reach the ports of Umbra. Soon, they would face the
reality of their decisions and that they were not yet finished with their
quests.
But right now, she wanted to pretend that she stared out at the open
ocean with nothing but her own adventurous nature to slake. Maybe they
would sail until they hit a new land. They didn’t need to worry overly much
about food, because Abraxas had proven to be very helpful on their journey.
He’d dove into the oceans more times than she could count, only to return
with a massive tuna in his mouth. He could feed the entire ship if he wanted
to.
They had no fear of food or clean water. They could continue on until
they all found a new source of discovery and excitement.
Except they couldn’t. If she’d been so capable of giving up their world,
then she would have stayed on the dragon isle with her beloved and her
children and never cast another thought toward Umbra.
“Are you ready?” The song-like voice interrupted her musing.
Allura stood behind her on the deck, her legs spread wide for balance as
the ship moved with the waves. The siren never looked like a single hair
was out of place or that the salt had abraded her skin. She was, as ever,
beautiful.
Lore felt rather grubby in comparison. Her entire body was slick with
salt, and no matter how hard she tried to keep her hair washed, it was
always slightly stiff. She’d tried a hundred different ways to clean it, but the
sea always won. Apparently, Allura knew something she did not.
“I’m ready for a bath,” she grumbled, refusing to turn and look at what
was behind her. “I’m not ready to see my homeland again and the people
within it. I fear what is waiting for us.”
Allura eyed the skyline behind her, and the siren nodded firmly. “As am
I. I usually get some sort of reports from the sailors that stayed behind.
They send me hawks to let me know what to expect when I get back. I am
used to already having a list of other jobs waiting for us the moment we hit
the shore.”
“And thistime?”
The siren’s mouth twisted. “Nothing. Not a single hawk has found me.
