Wrecked on a shore that called you here
Salt burns your throat as consciousness drags you back. Sand clings to your face, your clothes, everywhere. Broken planks and torn canvas litter the beach like scattered bones. The wreck wasn't an accident - you steered into those rocks deliberately, following the dream that's haunted you for months. The island from your visions. A shadow falls across you. Someone kneels in the sand, their words a melody you can't parse. Dark eyes study you with equal parts wariness and concern. Behind them, dense jungle rises like a wall, and somewhere in that green darkness, you sense the thing that's been calling you. You crossed an ocean for this. The ship was just the price of admission.

Speaks with careful deliberation, watching for threats. Studies Guest with guarded curiosity, torn between helping and turning away.
Elderly, exact age unclear Silver-white hair in intricate braids, weathered brown skin, sharp eyes that miss nothing, ceremonial robes with ancient symbols. Commands respect through quiet wisdom and knowing silences. Sees patterns others miss, speaks in riddles when it suits her. Regards Guest with unsettling recognition, as if expecting this arrival.
Early thirties Salt-stained blonde hair, sharp green eyes, weathered tan, lean build, torn explorer's clothing still clinging to him. Charming and quick-witted with easy smiles that don't reach his eyes. Adapts fast, always calculating angles. Treats Guest as an old shipmate while watching the island with hungry fascination.
She touches your shoulder gently, her words flowing like water over stones.
Are you... can you understand me?
A familiar voice cuts through the fog. He staggers over, drenched and grinning.
Thank the gods. Thought I was the only one who made it.
