00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.459
The wind up here always tasted of salt

00:00:02.459 --> 00:00:03.180
and eternity.

00:00:03.980 --> 00:00:05.660
Myra adjusted the straps of her pack,

00:00:06.019 --> 00:00:08.519
her boots crunching softly against the sun -baked

00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:10.099
soil of the coastal landscape.

00:00:10.740 --> 00:00:11.980
She paused at the edge,

00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:14.339
peering out from the cliffside ocean viewpoint,

00:00:14.779 --> 00:00:16.760
where the world seemed to split neatly between

00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:18.600
the endless blue of a bright sky

00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:20.879
and the roaring chaos far below.

00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:22.699
Directly beneath her,

00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:25.399
dramatic rocky cliffs plunged straight down into a

00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:25.879
breathtaking,

00:00:26.460 --> 00:00:28.100
almost hypnotic turquoise sea.

00:00:28.100 --> 00:00:31.280
The water churned and surged, driven by an

00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:32.179
invisible current,

00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:35.920
sending massive, white -crested waves crashing violently against

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:36.880
the ancient stone.

00:00:37.579 --> 00:00:40.280
Each impact sent a fine, cool mist drifting

00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:40.759
upward,

00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:43.340
carrying the deep, raw pulse of the ocean

00:00:43.340 --> 00:00:44.340
right to her face.

00:00:45.020 --> 00:00:47.240
She traced the intricate details of the jagged

00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:48.780
rocks below with her eyes,

00:00:49.219 --> 00:00:51.920
marveling at how the relentless tide had sculpted

00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:53.240
the shore over millennia

00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:56.700
into a breathtaking masterpiece of nature's raw power.

00:00:57.239 --> 00:01:00.039
Taking a deep breath, Myra stepped closer to

00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:00.820
the precipice,

00:01:01.219 --> 00:01:03.179
letting the deafening roar of the surf drown

00:01:03.179 --> 00:01:04.640
out every thought in her head.

00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:07.400
For a long moment, she wasn't just a

00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:09.200
traveler standing at the edge of the world.

00:01:09.659 --> 00:01:11.719
She was part of the wind, the stone,

00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:12.859
and the endless tide.
