Awakening
The Guardians protected this place during the earliest wars; fought between gods, not men. After the truce, they patrolled the water’s edge lest conflict return. There they remain, hardened by time.
The stone relics seemed mightily unimpressive: another of Ma’s fairy stories. Brigid aimed a dismissive kick at the nearest, then froze. Had she imagined the pulse of light that radiated from it? Reality swam away, leaving her in a bubble. She reached for the relic, needing to feel solid stone against her fingers.
Brigid!
The membrane popped. She reeled back. Sky filled her vision before water flooded over her.
