Ashes of the Drowned Part 4
The rain hadn't stopped in two days. Not the usual kind of storm either—it moved wrong, spiraling in waves over land, creeping up riverbanks and flooding low valleys in hours. Villages inland were seeing tides roll through their streets, saltwater in their wells. Birds vanished from the skies. Fish leapt from empty air.

The Conduit: Chapter 8
A launch departed the Oceanic Station below the gangway where Carter was running laps. He looked to the ocean, watching the boat as it roared to life, speeding away across the slight chop of the warm Pacific waters. Carter wondered where the doctor was going off to at such an early time of day, but as a senior member of the staff, she had clearances he didn’t possess. She could take a launch without going through Commander Shepherd’s office, or at least that’s what he thought. He didn’t know anything about the pleasure craft anchored a mile from the station.

Jonas wanted to be in the field, finding artifacts and researching their history. The world of an archaeologist sounded fun, even exciting, but he’d only been on two digs during his years at the university and had yet to find anything important.

Ashes of the Drowned Part 3
The relic whispered in the dark. It hadn’t stopped since Elira touched it. The conch—once dormant, sealed in sea-crystal and warded runes—now pulsed with a rhythm not unlike a heartbeat. A slow, wet thrum, felt more in the bones than heard in the air. When Elira closed her eyes, she could feel the sea breathing inside her skull. And sometimes, the whispers became words.
