Chapter 2

Khumahk found himself in the sea where they worshipped the Gods of the
Light. His father was devout of Baerinika and his mother of Azorinne. The
sea was different than normal as a terrible storm surrounded him. Twenty
foot waves crashed over him, but he was at home in the sea and was in no
danger. An inky darkness began to spread from underneath the waves, a
thick substance that began to taint and kill the fish that it touched.

He was for the first time in his life afraid in the sea, and began to
swim away with urgency. The beach that led back to home was visible but
it looked dark and treacherous. He tried to swim that way, but despite
trying with all his might he was not getting closer to the trail while
the darkness had nearly reached him! He saw a bright glow above a distant
dock and began to swim to it with all of his might. He stepped foot out
of the sea before sitting up in bed wide-awake.

He shuddered as he took deep breaths. He could not shake the feeling
that there was darkness in the sea so he gathered a lantern and took the
familiar path down to the water. The lantern provided light upon a calm
sea at peace. He went out into it and found a spot that was just a bit
warmer to begin his prayers. He had never decided before, but felt the
call of the Lady Baerinika. He prayed for the purity of the Light, the
Sea, and the Lands. He eventually doused the lantern as the sun gave him
light and he felt at peace with himself for the first time in a long time.
