Wheeling Gull Isle a tall ship and a star to steer her by

Everything happens quickly and she barely has time to focus as it swirls around her. Her head throbs painfully every time she moves. Grayday is no longer at her side but when he brings Dawn closer, she realizes it isn’t Dawn at all. Instead, she blinks back her disbelief as @Anatha finally comes to life and stumbles off into the distance, temporarily forgotten by the others. She turns to follow after her, staggering off the sandy shores and follows her footprints into the darkness. She glances over her shoulder at the mess off in the distance where the others have collected in an attempt to help someone else.

Grayday becomes less of Grayday and more of someone else. Her throat closes up when she can’t find the man she thought had been there the whole time. Reality closes in around her as everything pieces back together once more. Grayday had never been here at all, nor had Dawn, and so she turned back to realize the girl is out of sight. She swallows the lump that formed in her throat, unsure of where to go from where she stands as she’s left alone and eventually staggers further away.
