The morning sun hadn’t warmed the Endless Sea, but Maggie welcomed the chill on her sore limbs. Catching the fish came easily. The Siren provided plentiful fish in the Endless Sea for anyone who had the will to catch them.
Fill the net, bring the fish to town, sell the fish, purchase supplies, go to Bertrand’s, come back home.
Maggie sank under the water, letting the gentle waves lift her hair and sway her limbs.
It had seemed like enough. Before she knew slipping out of the Siren’s Realm into other worlds was possible, the routine had seemed like enough. Then having the magic to ask the Siren for her tiny stone house seemed like enough.
Enough is never enough.
Maggie kicked up to the surface, gasping for air.
Fish. That was the first step. Catch the fish, sell the fish…adventure.
