SAMUEL
Stretch out my life
And pick the seams out
The Voice had brought them another new portal; as a Portal Calibrator, Sam felt it was rather his duty to at least peek at what was on the other side. He still had ties to the Hollowed Grounds that meant he wouldn't spend too long here, but it was ungrateful to not see what The Voice had given them. Going home to gather supplies and leave Nathaniel a note saying to follow if he'd like (if not, he'd be back in a week or so), he'd headed to the Spire to go across into Torchline.
As he came out of the portal he was suddenly greeted by a vast expanse of water lit by a moon brighter than he'd ever seen - the sheer beauty of it all nearly brought him to his knees. Never having witnessed the ocean before, he found it hard to comprehend, to see it all at once; it was impossibly big.
Walking down the port (quiet, but he could tell it was a civilised area and did his best to seem casual so he wouldn't attract unwanted attention) he climbed down to the beach, needing to feel it for himself, what he'd only read of before in books almost too fantastical to seem real. Kneeling down in the sand, orange hair caught alight by the shine of the moon, he reached his hands to the surf, letting it roll over the tips of his fingers with a joyful gasp.
