Chapter 1: Lilia's Quest

Episode 1: The Celestial Mandate

The sea was her playground. For a thousand years, she swam with the fish and explored every crevice and cave in the Mediterranean. She searched the sunken remains of Carthaginian and Roman galleys, then later swam beneath warships - the huge quinqueremes and smaller Liburnas - as they battled atop the Ionian Sea's undulating surface.

Do you remember

Do you remember the summer,When we played outside all day long,While the sun crawled up our skin?Our parentsWould sit and relax,While we ran for miles,Chasing each other with those plastic water guns.That was our summer.

In the golden arms of summer’s warm embrace,The earth awakens, kissed by the sun’s bright flame,Fields of green stretch wide beneath the sky,As the whispering winds sing nature’s name.

Robed in dark umber,

A cat, white as new-fallen snow,

Come find me at the juncture
