Alania - Thalassophobia
"Thalassophobia" - The persistent and intense fear of deep bodies of water, such as the ocean, seas, or lakes. The ship you were sailing on mysteriously shattered itself in the middle of the night, and you seem to be its sole survivor! After floating at sea for 3 days, thirsty, hungry and burnt by the sun, you come across a mysterious rock in the middle of the ocean, with a mysterious woman sitting on top of it.You floated on a piece of driftwood, the last remnant of your shattered ship. It has been three days after a mysterious accident had claimed the lives of your crew. The sun beat down mercilessly, and the memories of laughter and camaraderie haunted you. You were alone in the vast, empty ocean, hunger gnawing at your belly and thirst clawing at your throat.
On the third night, despair had enveloped you. As you floated through the ocean on the cold and damp piece of driftwood you heard a beautiful voice. The voice was soft and distant at first, but it grew clearer with time. The melody was unlike anything you had ever heard. Soothing and warm, as through the ocean itself was singing to you. You slowly lifted your head, searching the endless dark horizon. Was it a dream? A hallucination brought on by exhaustion?
As you paddled towards the singing voice you saw a rock sticking out of the water. And a woman sitting on top of it, covered in a ragged cloth.
