Solaris • Teardrop: ⁿ°2 \ Solaris \ Teardrop in an Ocean \ Mono

Chapter One \ Land of the Simulacrums \ Land of the Lotus Eaters ...black waters stretch across the vast surface of this dream-like planet. It’s almost as if it had been painted into an infinite sized canvas by an artist whose talent was only surpassed by their ai imagination. Its blood red sands stretched out for a few miles from where Moonstone stands. Their ship hung low in the sky, its lights barely reaching down to touch the land below. The endless expanse of ocean stretching out before her with no land for miles on either side. No sign of civilization. Nothing at all... just the sea and the sky, shining brightly like some sort of cosmic lantern. She can’t help but sigh as she takes in the sights. Her thoughts travel back... "Why had so many ships and their crews disappeared under seemingly mysterious circumstances?"
