The warm sand felt great against Steven’s feet as he wandered the beach near the temple. He wasn’t normally a morning person - his normal waking time was near noon - but he had the urge to see the sunrise, something he hadn’t seen in person in a while. The sky was still dark, with a hint of orange peeking over the horizon, that beautiful time of morning when the sun and the star coexisted together.
Not paying attention, he found himself a little farther than home than what he expected, near a cave near the water. It was odd, however, that it there was a glow coming from the inside the opening. With one eyebrow raised, he approached the entrance, curious to what he would find, but on his guard in case there was danger. “Hello?” he called in; he wanted to make sure he wasn’t being paranoid.
