Stavanger Bay i don't want revenge. i want your submission

@Ford hi :)

perhaps iliksis was stupid to approach the guarded borders of the rift, but being rather haggard and tired of the footsore life of a loner, he was ready for some change. rosings had been a bust -- and try as he did to find addison in the aftermath, iliksis' pursuits were all in vain.

he had not forgotten the liver woman, but if he was to best her and eventually overcome her, he had to be hale. as it was, he was a shade above wiry and bedraggled. he presently looked just rough enough that anyone in the vicinity would know he would not be an easy target, yet all the same, his slab-sided and poking ribs told a story of long and harrowing bouts of starvation as of late.

he paused at the cusp of the rocky shore's borders and tipped back his head. a quiet howl filtered into the wind, requesting the presence of any soul that was near.
