Something brought her back to the shore by morning. Perhaps it was concern, but mostly curiosity. It sounded like the world had stopped cracking and creaking out there, so it was time to see what the hell it had all been about.
Oddly enough, you could no longer see the island or the volcano. In its place was a long stretch of bridge made from lava that seemed to go off to nowhere. It gave Morrighan more questions than answers, but she felt drawn to it. There was a small bit of hope that maybe, somehow, this bridge would lead her back to Ourania, but she knew that thinking was way too far fetched. In reality, if she chose to walk down this path, she could very well be walking to her death.
And yet, she walked on anyway.
This was probably the stupidest thing she had done yet, but the further she walked, the more determined she was. Maybe she could come back and say that she braved the weird ass bridge and lived to tell the tale. Or she really was going to die and she'd be a complete idiot. Well, only one way to find out.
As she walked, she caught glimpses of creatures swimming around in the sea. Her eyes narrowed and she could feel her hooves getting hotter with each step in warning. Although she was ready to attack, part of her felt the nerves creeping in. There was no telling what those creatures were or if simply heat would be enough to deter them from eating her alive. Thankfully, it seemed they were not breaking the surface so at least they didn't seem too interested in her (yet).
After what felt like hours, Morrighan finally arrived at what she would assume was the end. It still didn't seem like an island, but it was hard to tell exactly what it is. One thing was for sure, it was no Ourania. All that could be seen was ivy- all the way to the horizon and it seemed all the way to the sea as well. It made no sense how there could be so much, but then it was no ordinary ivy. Upon closer look, the plant was glowing and the leaves themselves were dark, almost black rather than green. There were berries also, but there was something off about them. Morrighan could've sworn she saw them pulsing and it made her stomach turn.
What had she gotten herself into?
"Speaking."
