the breadth of the sea shimmering before her quite took the woman's breath away, and she stood with her greatly rounded sides heaving as a wind rose up from the shoreline and brushed her with salt and the deep musky scent of the brine. eshamun was silent, entreating the eight-armed one with prayers as she slowly approached the lapping waters.
