It is already too late to swim when the water reaches your lips.

The last remaining daughter of the Blue Swan legacy. That was what she was, or what she had been damned to be, chosen by fate to hold such a heavy crown. She had been sent to Teekon to scout, to find herself a well established ecosystem where she could settle not only herself, but bring her Family. It was a daunting thing, but it was her duty to her people. To her Father. And she could not fail them, as should she, nothing but dishonor would be brought upon them. She could not risk the shame.

Through the morning, well into dusk, she survived. The Emperor’s daughter, hunting, fishing for herself, snagging birds, and making sure she lived on. But how long would it be that she would have to push through, alone? 

As she pushed through the snowed banks of the mountainside, she wondered if anyone would help her through this solitary confinement.
