Chapter 2 The prediction is made in

Aria's days after her conversation with Elder Elara were filled with a renewed sense of purpose. She couldn't escape the sea's pull or the intensity of the message she'd heard. Aria set out to deliver the news with her closest friends and fellow villagers, her determination burning in her heart.Aria gathered her companions under the shade of a centuries-old oak tree on the outskirts of the town and began to tell them about her meeting with the waves, the words that had echoed in her thoughts, and the wisdom bestowed upon her by Elder Elara. Her friends exchanged interested glances as she spoke, some leaning in with interest and others with cynicism.Her boyhood friend Liam, with his wild hair and playful grin, was the first to break the stillness. "Aria, you can't possibly believe the waves are talking to you, can you?" This sounds like it came straight out of a fairy tale."Aria met Liam's gaze with steadfast resolve. "I understand how it sounds, but I've always felt a connection to the sea." It's as if I've been picked to complete a long-forgotten prophecy."Gael, a gentle and thoughtful young woman gifted with healing herbs, spoke forward. "What kind of prophecy are we discussing?" And Where does it say we should go?"Aria took a deep breath and spoke calmly as she described Elder Elara's prophecy of a migration to a legendary country guided by the sea's whispers. She said that the sea carried their forefathers' memories, stories of uncharted countries, and untold experiences. "I believe that if we follow the sea's guidance, we can uncover the path to this mythical land," she said, her eyes flashing with conviction. We have the ability to shape a new future for ourselves and others who choose to join us."The group fell silent in contemplation. The idea was daring, and the challenge was frightening, but the gleam in their eyes revealed their growing interest. Mia, a seasoned navigator noted for her detailed maps, finally spoke up. "If we're going to embark on this journey, we'll need more than just faith." We'll need a strategy, resources, and a method of navigating the vast sea."Aria agreed with a nod. "You're correct, Mia. We can't just set sail without first making plans. We'll need to gather information, procure supplies, and possibly seek the assistance of individuals who understand the ways of the water."A smirk tugged at the corner of Liam's lips as he rubbed his head. "Well, count me in if this is really happening." "I've always wanted to prove that I'm more than a fisherman's son."Gael and Mia exchanged a glance before agreeing with a nod. "We're in, too," Gael stated steadily.Aria felt a sense of oneness among her friends as the sun began to set, casting a warm golden glow over their gathering. They were willing to take a risk, to follow the sea's lead, and to discover the wonders that lay beyond the horizon.The group met often beneath the oak tree in the days that followed, pooling their skills, expertise, and resources. Mia's charts became more precise, Gael gathered herbs to keep them going, and Liam honed his fishing skills to guarantee they had a regular source of food.Their bold proposal sparked both intrigue and suspicion across the hamlet. Some dismissed it as a fantasy, while others praised the courage of individuals who dared to defy the established system. Aria's resolve remained unwavering. She knew that their mission was about more than just reaching a mythical country; it was also about realising their own potential.Aria couldn't ignore the waves' insistent murmurs while the group resumed their preparations. They appeared to grow stronger, enticing her to dig further into the mysteries of the sea. She found herself spending hours at the seashore, intently listening to the rhythm of the tides and attempting to interpret the mysteries they held.Aria felt an incredible wave of emotion one evening as the sun slipped below the horizon, sending colours of orange and pink across the ocean. The waves communicated with her in a language beyond words, an ancient song that connected with her whole existence. At that moment, she realised that the sea was more than just a guide on this journey; it was a force of nature that believed in their mission.Aria turned away from the shore, her heart full of resolve, ready to face the trials that lay ahead. Despite the unclear journey and unknown goal, she was adamant that the sea's whispers held the key to their fate. So, armed with a map, a crew of strong allies, and the call of the tides reverberating in her soul, Aria set sail on a journey that would change the direction of their lives forever.Aria was overcome with emotion as the sun set beyond the horizon, sending shades of orange and pink across the ocean.
