☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Here's your "help from the RSC, which has an answer to every question." They hire a bunch of damn interns without properly checking their resumes, and then they get a genie in a bottle. Who will release another genie from a completely different bottle – and a much worse one. Alaria didn't know how long she had been unconscious. She didn't know the fate of her companions – they were nowhere to be seen. But she knew for sure that the sea had swallowed almost everything she carried: all the provisions, all the money, the Calcite map, all the things that reminded her of Rheime, even Elrina's gift... all that remained with her was a miraculously surviving diary, some clothes, Granhildr, which was magically bound to her, and stockings so amazing that even the sea couldn't harm them.
Next to her, she found a young man. He looked like one of the sailors from the "Thunder," but the girl wasn't sure. In any case, at least someone had survived. And this guy didn't look like an apostle of arrogance at all. Maybe it really was Tyros? It didn't matter now – there were much more pressing problems. And Mr. Arrogance might already be at the bottom of the sea. First, she needed to look around. Figure out where she was. And examine the guy. Both for weapons and for injuries. Any help would be welcome now – there was no time to choose.
