Ankyra Sound Mont Blanc Radiance

dwin promised to play expert matchmaker if she came across an alien. val wasn’t certain he needed such services provided, but accepted anyway with a nod.

so she saw him as some sort of hellhound. this thoroughly charmed val, who understood he was anything but. he could be better likened to a marshmallow, but he wasn’t going to poke holes in this fantastical rendition of himself. an alien and demon beast sound like an unlikely pair. what will the bear eating dragons think?

swept away by the appeal of fantasy, val forgot for a moment his anxieties about the sea. he thought to himself: had he ever considered a place or thing might be nameless?

maybe to us. someone had to come across the ocean and decide a better name than ‘big vast water thingie’. i bet everything has a thousand names, in a thousand different languages, time, and circumstances. that we will not be the first, or the last, to look on this big vast water and reach for another name to call it. which, by the way, there are many names. the sea, the ocean, saltwater, mer… or, its newest name — big vast water thingie.
