Blackwater Islands Vicarious

There was another upon the islands.

The call was unleashed with such assuredness and confidence that Kalika was almost intimidated by the trespasser, though she forced herself to her paws and out to answer the call. Her initial approach was one of great hesitation and defense, her expression neutral and her stare cold. Drawing nearer to the call's source, she could see that it was the song of another woman, though why (or how) she had crossed the sandbar remained unknown.

Hello, Kalika began, her mouth breaking into a forced smile. Although diplomacy was her trade and she was confident in her speaking skills, she had been a bit off since the meeting with Drageda and the private endeavor with Whip that followed. Are you a Nereid? Or just a wanderer who happened upon our lands. The smile on her maw grew to fit the entirety of her jaw, creating a welcoming (and toothy — very toothy) greeting.
