Writ in Water
Sunny did not really believe that the fairy tale Ananke had told him was literal. The magical Well of Wishes did not really exist, and neither did the remnant of the primal desire from which the gods had been born exist in the Estuary. Cassie had told him herself — not everyone's wish would be fulfilled here.

Still, looking at the mysterious lake surrounding him, Sunny could not help but wonder if both of them had, perhaps, been wrong.
Wouldn't it be nice, for something that magical to exist?
But, of course, the dark and seemingly endless lake was not the Well of Wishes Ananke had told him about.
Sunny realized it when faint lights ignited in its depths, and a nauseating feeling assaulted his senses.
'Argh… damn it!'
He staggered slightly, barely keeping himself from plunging into the cold water. Regaining his balance, Sunny stared at the distant lights.
