Heron Cove
"It's a good day for a walk on the beach".

You set off along the sandy stretches of the Tsunami Flats bordering the vast expanse of water. The sky is dotted with flocks of circling Tradewinds Gulls, each hoping to spy a wayward crab. As you journey further along the coast, you notice the air has become thick with mist and the scent of... salt?

"But... The Sea Of A Thousand Currents is freshwater!" you think to yourself, yet there is no mistaking the smell. Almost as if by magic, you look ahead and see the cause of the salty air. You have reached the very edge of the Tsunami Flats, and see a small creek winding into the sea. Upon further examination, you notice this creek appears to run between the Tangled Wood and Sunbeam Ruins, and carry water traveling directly from the ocean. The mouth of the creek is surrounded by rock outcroppings, worn and warped by centuries of tides into beautiful, swirling ripples of stone, and decorated by pepperings of barnacles and algae. The rocks extend in a crescent shape and seem to act as something of a natural dam for the brackish water caused by the emptying of the creek. Turbulent waves crash against the rocks and send brilliant sprays of water into the air, but the waves inside the cove remain gentle and largely undisturbed.

As you admire the erosion patterns in the rocks, you see something stirring within the depths. Was that... a fin? Before you can make any guesses as to the creature's identity, an immense dragon emerges from the water and climbs onto the tallest rock outcropping. It appears to be an Imperial dragon, but unlike any you've seen before. The behemoth's hide is as deep a blue as the depths it emerged from, and its spine is crested with glittering translucent fins. Armored scales cover its flank, and an angler's orb hangs from its forelock. The dragon is adorned with shimmering gold jewelry, some of which is tangled in seaweed.

Suddenly, the dragon spots you. With one stretch of its great leathery wings, it swoops across the water and lands in front of you. You utter a quiet prayer to the Tidelord that you may escape becoming lunch, and brace for impact. However, no teeth find your hide and as you look up at the dragon you find it is smiling at you.

"Welcome to Heron Cove. You may call me Zagreus. Shall I show you around?"
