You learn to stand alone at last
So brave, and bold, and strong, and stout
With Deepfrost and Longnight coming quick on the horizon, Sam knew he had little chance of coming to Torchline for the next while. There would be preparations to do, Longnight itself to survive (if he was so lucky again this year)...not many excuses to run off to the beach in the depths of the cold. With that in mind, he'd come for one last walk around the area surrounding the portal while the warmer seasons lasted, wanting to see the water before the dark times ahead.
He'd once never seen the sea. Now he could hardly imagine his life without it, finding the ocean deeply relaxing to sit by and watch, his thoughts somehow nullified by the sight of moonlight on the waves and the sound of soft foam on the sand. If he were still just on his own he would be stealing off to the beach for Longnight, but he had promised to be a protector for the Naturals that would stay in the Hollowed Grounds.
Sitting on the edge of the pier, he laid his hands in his lap and watched the light on the water. It was very quiet: no one around to cause any trouble, though he was keeping an eye out. For the moment though all was still and he let out a happy sigh, leaning back on his hands and gently swaying his legs.

You learn somehow to like the dark, even love the doubt
