MAEA
She was supposed to be looking for musicians. Minstrels or bards or at least someone with a good voice and pair of spoons to clap together. She ought to be posting notes on the notice-boards too, inviting revelers to the Hollowed Grounds for a casual party. If anyone dared go there, these days, lest they be branded Ascended-aligned and scorned by their kin. She wasn't sure how deep the resentment had begun to run in these parts yet.
But as the sun set and she finally was able to move around freely again, the young woman found herself standing by the dockside, watching the stars come alive in the sprawling canals. The waters ran deep and swift, churning as they clashed with the tides and she watched tiny maelstroms appear and disappear on the surface. A paper boat came sailing down the canal, tossed in or dropped by some children, perhaps. She looked around, bracing for a horde of bare-footed youths to come tumbling by, shrieking with laughter... but there were none.
Not thinking much at all, she took to following the vessel. It was stark white and luminous in the gathering dusk, and the eddies tossed it this way and that, until it eventually poked a dark shape in the chest and ground to a halt.
Maea paused, her eyes widening slightly at the sight of the figure in the water.
"My pardon," she murmured, even though the boat wasn't hers.
