Chapter 87

Lilly's eyes sparkled as she gazed up at Edward. "I remember," she whispered. "The dreams, the darkness... and you, always finding me."

Edward's heart swelled. "I'll always find you, Lilly."

As the sun dipped into the ocean, casting a warm glow over Tidal Cove, the town's people gathered around. They cheered and wept, their faces filled with joy.

Poppy smiled, her eyes shining. "Well done, Edward. You've restored balance to the sea."

Grimjack clapped Edward on the back. "Time to celebrate, lad!"

But amidst the revelry, a figure watched from the shadows – a woman with long, flowing hair and piercing green eyes.

She vanished into the night, leaving behind a whispered phrase: "The sea's secrets are far from revealed."

Lilly's gaze followed the mysterious woman. "Who was that?"

Edward's brow furrowed. "I don't know, but I sense our journey's just beginning."
