A Sentient being Journeys
from Mountain to Ocean floor
Abyssal Wanderer
Her journey began far from the ocean floor, among glaciers and riverbeds, winding through waterways and forests of seaweed, plunging ever deeper into the unknown. In this descent, she was reshaped, merging with the element that has defined her existence. She has become water itself, embodying both her fluid strength and fragile vulnerability, protecting what is precious, preserving the echoes of a world in flux.
