Bay had been raised with a fascination for all cultures. By the time she was 13 she was at least somewhat fluent in all of the most commonly spoken languages in the world, travelling with her parents all her life as they worked. One cold winter they had stopped in a small village, and Bay had found an old woman collapsed in the snow. She took her home and the family nursed her back to health. The woman rewarded Bay's kindness with a tome full of ancient languages, and she's hardly put it down since, absorbing as much knowledge of scarcely heard cultures as she could.
Until one late summer afternoon on the beach, when she overheard a group of people discussing an underwater temple with strange symbols etched into the shrines. Bay sprang up from her spot in the shade, already flipping through the pages, the group's descriptions sounding familiar.
