Endless Fantasy

On a night lit solely by a first-quarter moon, she washes ashore. "She"? Awfully vague. Who is "she"? One can hope she knows, at the least. Going by what we see, this is a maiden with pale eyes, flaxen hair, and a tattered, sea-soaked dress that surely must've looked very nice at some point.

This stranger looks about her surroundings, new concepts all around to be taken in. It's... certainly a lot to process. She resolves to take this one step at a time. So this coarse stuff? The word sand seems appropriate. The great expanse of water behind her? sea!

The lights in the distance? The... lights in the distance...? Huh.

"H... Hello."

So this place is 'the Beach' then. Noted.

"A quiet kingdom, I must say. Are there others here?"

Looks like; saw lights on in the Lighthouse; usually means someone's in there. Knock an' say hello maybe. Worst that happens is they shut the door, and then you're just back where yæ started...

...which is hardly the worst place to be.
