Going Home Anyway

Lúta awoke from a old dream that had entangled with an old memory to make a vivid experience that left her heart pounding in her chest and sweat dripping from her brow. Spirits, she thought she'd put most of her past behind her. Swallowing sharply she got to her feet and stepped out in the humid summer air. Lúta knew she wasn't going to be able to fall asleep so she worked her way north but nothing about the night walk was settling this time. In some ways she felt like she was walking on the cusp of a nightmare.

She continued to walk until she found herself along the shimmering shore which didn't seem to shimmer so much as glow incredibly brightly. Everything about the night seemed to either be glowing or swallowed up in darkness. She frizzed up as she saw something headed towards her but as it got closer she realized it was Serenity. Lúta barked out a greeting. "Serenity, are you ok?"
