the ocean is calling, and i must go
Bobbing within the waves is a huge heaving chest, stolen from a storm wrecked ship swallowed, along with its captain, by the murky depths of the sea. Water has leeched into the wooden planks, and rot has threatened to eat away at the bottom, threatened to spill the loot upon sandy floors and bottomless trenches. But somehow, fate has smiled upon the treasure chest, and it has been delivered towards the pristine beach that lines the southwestern shore of Helovia.
But, fate cannot offer easy deliverance for the sea-swept bounty, and as it begins to beach itself, a rolling wave sneaks upon it and smashes the waterlogged case, shattering its wooden shell. Some prizes are stolen, dragged back by the tide as payment for delivery. Despite the sea taking its price for passage, across the white sands treasure is strewn, trinkets and jewelry, weapons and armor, all glittering and shining in the fresh light of dawn.
Above, gulls cry, seeming to call both invitation and warning, encouraging all to come and collect their stead, but to avoid greed, for perhaps the ocean shall steal the greedy and envious away next. For the ocean does not discriminate, and is not effected by the passing of time, or the coming of an end.
