The soothing sound of waves against rocks was a settling white noise background for the blurred scene. The pearlescent rays of moonlight were the only source of illumination in the visage. A cold breeze swept across her face causing stray strands of golden hair to brush across her fair skin and a shiver down her spine. She had no idea where she was but there was a sense of familiarity that she could not argue nor deny. Under her feet she could feel the sensation of cold smoothe stone, she was barefoot. She didn't mind that, however, she was usually barefoot and such a concept didn't seem to bother her at all. The night felt calm and there was a comforting scent of Jasmine flowers and clean ocean waves. A person came into view, a girl. Her looks couldn't be made out in the blurred vision but from what she could see, the girl seemed to have a mass of dark brown hair that flowed freely in the wind. Her skin was pale and her eyes seemed to be a dark shade of blue like pools of water illuminated only by moonlight at the darkest hours of the night. She felt familiar, like somehow she knew her. She reached out and took her hand and pressed something small and cold into her palm. She couldn't see her well but she could tell the girl was smiling, but something about it seemed somber. The whole action felt evocative. She felt her own fingers impulsively close around the cold ornament in her hand, as if it were meant for her. And finally, as if deeply awaited for, the brown haired girl spoke. "I am the moon." Her words were stern yet soft and even though they would have seemed bizarre to anyone else, they seemed to make sense to her. They almost seemed to comfort her. She could feel the apparition slipping from her and the view began to fade. But not before she could get her own response out. As the girl and the sounds faded to black she could hear herself calling back, "And I am the sea."

Amphitrite could feel herself jolting awake in her small cot. Her silver snowflake shaped medallion was pressed firmly into her hand. She had been squeezing it tightly in her sleep again. It was the same dream as always. A strange girl in a strange place telling her the same thing and Amphitrite would respond the same way. Every. Single. Time. "About time you woke up." A familiar voice came from across the room. Amphitrite looked over to see her best friend, Leo. He looked worried but he flashed her a comforting smile. "You were uh... You were talking again in your sleep. Those same words. 'And I am the sea'. What does it mean?" He asked as he walked over to her. Amphitrite shook her head. "I wish I knew."
