Chapter Text
It was a dark stormy night. Bit of a cliche really, but it’s true.
A ship was sailing through the thunderous waters, when lightning struck.
Yellows and oranges danced in the night across the wood that was quickly burning.
Yelling could be heard and then suddenly, a small boat was ejected from the ship.
On it, a woman and baby were visible.
The woman was rowing frantically to the land they could see in the distance, while the child cried out in discomfort. The mother tried her best at keeping the infant soothed, with kind affirmations of love.
It took a while to get to land due to the harsh weather and the fatigue that was setting in, but after what seemed like an eternity, they made it to the edge of the island.
The mother frantically checked to make sure that her son was unharmed. After being reassured that he was alright, she started searching for a place that they could rest temporarily.
Little did they know that in the distance, a man with sapphire eyes and obsidian wings was observing their every move.
It had taken awhile, but the woman was able to create a shelter out of the planks from the boat and a small overhang they’d found.
The mother had checked the map she’d brought but found no traces of this island on it, meaning the chances of them being rescued was thin.
Instead of being sad, she decided to he positive and make the best out of their rough situation.
After checking to make sure her son was truly unharmed for the hundredth time, she went to work finding some resources she could use.
There were strangers on the island. No one had ever visited in years, not since he had taken refuge on this island, helping to create a sort of safe haven for his kind.
He had made sure that the island was nearly impossible to find, so seeing two humans wash upon the shore was, to put it lightly, a bit of a shock.
He’d been watching them from a distance for quite a while, waiting to see if they’d do anything that could harm his kind, but so far it seemed the woman was merely seeking safety with her son.
He wasn’t quite sure how the woman had found the island. It was, after all, uncharted land. He’d made sure of it.
Meaning, somehow, she had just randomly found it by accident. He hadn’t seen anyone else coming, so the woman was alone.
Deciding they weren’t much of a danger at the moment, he settled down, content to simply watch.
