[Video; Unseelie]
((WARNING: animal suffering.))
[The locket's view opens on a small beach, too small for the creature that's washed itself ashore. It lies with its body twisted and turning across the gravel and the nearby withering tree roots: a great sea snake. On first glance, it may appear dead — but the gills behind its head are still twitching. It struggles to breathe.
The view shudders, as if the hand holding the locket at chest height is shaking. Cole has been murmuring since the locket opened.]
—ee, see. I can't see. It's so bright, so still — no more glimmering, glinting, only white and dry, waiting for death to take me, gasping for water. I can't — I can't breathe...
[Cole gasps for breath himself, regains his bearings. For a moment. He takes a step closer. The locket is left open and continues to show the creature as he moves toward it, but now it swings lightly, forgotten. From out of view, the sound of a dagger being drawn.]
Can't return to the deep. Left in the air and the heat and the heaviness to drown. It will take such a long time...

[It's an honest question, simply stated. Cole has been trying, doing what he can since the day he arrived. Even if some of it helped... It does seem like time is running out.]

But know ever knows all the shit that could happen. It's why you keep trying.

There's some nasty shit coming. These... machine things the dwarves made to kill shardbearers. We gotta stop that at least. You could help there.

"Machine" things?
