The brackish water of the estuary lay like a sheet of hammered pewter, perfectly still beneath the grey, watchful sky. She stood on a salt-stained pier, her simple outfit a slip of sea-green silk that clung to her like a second skin, its hem dipping low over her hips. The river met the sea here in a slow, silent truce, their mingled waters holding the scents of deep ocean and damp earth. Her fingers gently twisted a strand of her hair, weaving the damp locks into a loose braid as she stared out at the horizon. It was a place of endless transition, forever caught between what it was and what it was becoming.
