  Summary

  After becoming a hero, Gale fell back into his old habit. Isolation.

  One night, staring into the sea from his balcony of his Waterdhavian tower he sees something floating in the water, drifting towards land. Something. Someone.
  Someone seemingly lifeless, or barely hanging on.

  As much as he didn't care for his own life, he had to help this one.
  For this person might want to hold on to the little life they had left.
