Northstar Vale so this is what i will do

@Andraste, take kalika because sycamore is about to fall inactive.

to leave the coast was a necessary pain. the nereides would return, but their success required patience. were it in her being to rule, she might have called together the daughters of the sea herself, but kalika knew herself. it was not her place to lead, but to advise. 

there was a hidden idyll hidden between the mountain peaks. kalika pranced around the bend, toying with the idea of sneaking in unnoticed. she fantasized about the possibilities that would come of such a move, but thought that she ought to try her luck on the traditional route.

sitting a few feet from the border, the young nymph lifted her head and called for a woman to come and meet her.
