Sequoia Coast Next destination: New East facility 23

The ocean was like the desert in many ways. Blinding under the midday sun, unending as it stretched towards the blue crested horizon, and parching as a mirage.

Aelius backpedaled from the briny waters, hunched over and scraping salt from his tongue. Uck! Some place this turned out to be.

Finding anyone here would be like finding anyone in the desert. Possible - but surely only claimed by wolves of questionable sanity. His thoughts were reclaimed by the nameless girl he'd met by the river, and wondered again where she had drifted to after she circled him like a vulture, but left him alive.

She perhaps had been a ghost. A spectre of his darkening mind. Insane. He took one last swipe at his tongue before settling down with a squint to the endless waters. This place is making me lose my mind.

But it wasn't like there was much better a place to go. Not for wolves like him.

All welcome! But maybe @Noxir, or someone else pledged to Murkwood?
