The Coves (Darkest Dungeon)

[Deleted]

Your walk on the road towards the coves would belong. It would take roughly four hours of walking to make your way from the hamlet moving along the roadway towards the docks.

After a short while moving down the paths you'd see brackish pools of dark water that seemed to cast a glassy gleam across their surface as the tides were out at sea. The sound of nesting gulls filled the air as hundreds of white birds filled the air. The smell of salt water and cold sea air rushed your face as the winter air basked under a cold sun. Thin chunks of ice were melting in piles on the beach. It seemed winter was just ending. Now that the tides were out you could see hundreds of strange cave entrances in the corral and rough slabs of stone that clashed against the powerful crashing waves against the shore. Tidal pools covered the stone ground on the way up to the docks.

The docks themselves seemed abandoned. The wood creaked and groaned with the ebbing and flowing of the waves below. Rope guarded handrails and dark willow piers had patches of moss and seaweed growing on them. The salty wind had stripped any sort of vibrant color from any of the paints that once existed on the salt cracked wood. The docks themselves were up ahead. From here there seemed to be one figure standing near the docks. They seemed to have pale white skin standing in broad daylight near the pier. 1-12

Shoko had all of the gear, items and equipment he'd packed with him from when he first left the Hamlet.

The short dark figure would take in every detail with uncanny aptitude. The scenery strangely reminded him of an Oasis near his village. However the water here seemed foul and dishonest, nothing like the crystal clear freshwater lake where he once trained suiton. The path he took was heavily dedicated to memory for when he'd decided to start constructing a map. Shoko's mind pushed passed the sounds of sea-gulls flapping and chirping and focused on any foreign echoes.

Soon he'd spy a figure by the docks from afar. It might've seemed humanoid. From what he'd heard, nothing normal was supposed to be dwelling by the cove. Shoko stopped still and would activate the zooming vision on his vanguard of the wolf mask he had on. With a clearer picture of whomever lay at the docking bay, Shoko would attempt to recall if he had any information on it. He would also gauge the distance between him and it.

As you got closer to the docks and approached the strange figure you'd notice he had the face of an old, tall and aged. He seemed to be wearing some sort of seafaring clothes. Judging from its blue and white depictions and large shoulder pads you'd recognize this as some sort of captains or admirals clothing. His eyes were sunken and his skin seemed to give off a strange ethereal translucent glow to it. He was currently standing a good 60 meters away from you, his back turned towards you. Facing out into the glassy ocean.
