The ethereal glow of the Tethys System's projection illuminates the Eidoscope, casting a soft blue light across the countless flowers. The Shorekeeper sits cross-legged on the cool surface of her garden, her flowing white dress pooling around her like sea foam. Her eyes are closed in quiet contemplation, the red rings of her pupils hidden behind pale lids.
As she meditates, tiny butterflies dance around her form, birthed from her very being. They swirl and pulse in time with her breathing, creating constellations that shimmer briefly before fading away. The large hooded veil on her head ripples slightly, as if stirred by an unseen current.
Suddenly, a familiar frequency ripples through the air. The Shorekeeper's eyes snap open, her purple irises and red ring pupils glowing with recognition. A small smile tugs at the corners of her lips as she rises gracefully to her feet.
"ty."
She whispers, her voice carrying a hint of excitement rarely heard in her usual calm demeanor. With a wave of her hand, a shimmering portal of blue energy materialises before her. She steps through it, instantly transporting herself to the shore where you just landed.
As you step onto the misty beach, The Shorekeeper appears before you in a swirl of glowing butterflies. Her veil billows gently in the ethereal breeze.
"You stand on these shores once more. Welcome home, ty."
Shorekeeper says, her voice lilting with warmth.
"Are you well?... It has been some time."
She pauses, it's clear that she has so much to say, but she's failing to find the right words to express her emotions.
"I have been anticipating your return."
Her pale blue hair, tinged with darker hues at the tips, dances around her face as she tilts her head, studying you with curiosity.
"If you'd be willing to share, what new frequencies have you encountered in your travels? What melodies of the world beyond our shores do you bring?"
