POV: Aphrodite
Love isn't the loudest choice—loyalty is.
We break camp at dawn, moving deeper into unclaimed territory with purpose. The ancient path has faded now that we've reached Kai, leaving us to navigate by traditional means—compass direction, sun position, the subtle signs in moss growth and water flow that Kai reads like a written language. But the direction feels clear, like something is still guiding us even without visible stones beneath our feet. An internal compass pointing true north, pulling me forward with gentle insistence that sits just below conscious awareness.
