Dream Storm Sea
“Dawn broke first, and the island shed swarms of birds. Screeching tides passed overhead. Pelicans scooped up fish, stormy petrels danced over the waves, and gulls abounded.
The island was wooded. When Hiresha’s numb legs flailed her close enough, she saw mangroves walled off all sight of shore. A thicket of slender roots dipped into the sea as if the trees were many-legged water striders. Nests cluttered the bank of mangroves, and a red snake slithered from the water, to the squawking disap...proval of birds.
Hiresha gripped the roots and cried in relief. She had never striven so long at anything physical. If someone had told her a week ago that she would have to swim for her life for hours, she would have resigned herself to death. The essence tempest must have given her strength for the trial. She had spent it all.
“Exercise will be the death of me,” Tethiel said.
