Shorebound

Averno Bible Description
''In the center of the Averno lakes sits an island shrouded in mist. The trees always seem to sway in an invisible breeze, and if you stare for long enough, you can almost convince yourself that you see a figure disappear into the water. Angel Island, home to a family of Wild Ones who are as comfortable beneath the black surface of the lake as they are in the heart of the Forest. Aiden comes to the edge of the lake every day, collecting stones in the shallows. One day, they come across something more mysterious than the glittering rocks and driftwood. A girl. A girl whose voice sounds like the deep woods and eyes seem older than the rest of her.''

A girl who chose to stay.
