Sun, Sand and Tide
A sole figure wanders the long, lonely road. She wears no shoes on her feet, and though her travelling cloak is finely tailored she appears dishevelled. Her skin bares the texture of crumpled wax parchment, and her age drapes heavily across her shoulders. Her hair — fine and silver as spider’s silk and unruly as the wilds she wanders — gleams in the sunlight, and her eyes — dark as the heavens on a clear, moonless night — twinkle with the mischievous mirth of a child.
She smiles — her teeth are crooked and yellowed — and when she speaks her voice is coarse, but joyous.
Answer me this riddle, she says.
Answer me right, a gift you may take.
Answer me wrong, high is the stake.
Tell me of the place where one world ends,
And from its ruin did another begin.
Take me to where its heart does lye,
Broken between sun, sand and tide.
Find for me what there’s to be found,
Buried beneath spilled blood turned sour.
Where are we?
