When Queen Nerisa first arrived on the Floating Island, no one dared to approach her.
The sheer presence she carried—an overwhelming aura of power wrapped in elegance—kept even the boldest workers and warriors at a respectful distance. Whispers traveled quickly through the settlement: The Sea Queen is here. And just like that, an invisible boundary seemed to form around her.
Fortunately, arrangements had already been made. There was a place for her to stay—one of the few private chambers already built within the island. A room spacious, fortified, and positioned with a wide view of the surrounding waters.
It had originally belonged to Broken.
A temporary residence, yes, but it suited the queen's standards well enough. And now, the chamber that once belonged to the King had a new occupant—one who carried the weight of the ocean with her and could silence a crowd just by walking through it.
At least she had her own space now.
And the island… had a new, very regal guest.
