Ankyra Sound ineffable

@Ingram was at her side when at last the listener broke the cover of trees and stepped out into open air, pale sands, the salt of the sea in her nose and mouth. wind swept through in an echoing whisper all around, and the listener shivered and lifted her muzzle to the twilit heavens. her eyes were distant, misty.

we are close, hushed, hardly more than a whisper, yet the prophet was certain that even @Morgana and @Rasha at her back heard the words. her muzzle lowered, no more than a glance spared to the keeper at her side, and strode forward across the broad stretch of sand. the rush of the sea filled her ears, and in the distance, she saw it.

no more than a shadow on the horizon from the forest, but near the water's edge it became apparent that it was something far more than that. a vast dark stretch of land, broken into pieces with the sea churning between. the water was dark under the dim evening sky; it almost looked black, like thrashing ink beneath the pale ribbons of foam. and just under the water, not far from where the listener's paws touched its edge, a pale bridge of sand. the waves receded slowly even as the listener watched them, uncovering the sand bit by bit. a path, she saw now; a path home.

home, the listener sighed, and stepped forward.
