A Journey of Faith and Destiny

Chapter 1

"If you love something so much let it go. If it comes back it was meant to be; if it doesn't it never was" ~ Albert Schweitzer

"Love...it built me up and broke me down. It feels like I can never heal from it at this time. If you find this Maria...or Aqua. Keep it and don't come looking for me just yet." Destiny finished reading her note out loud before shoving it into a bottle and tossed out into the ocean.

She pulled the sail down as the wind picked up. At the wheel, she looked back at her home, feeling a little regretful about leaving so suddenly. Shaking her head, she continued steering, only focusing on the salty sea air.

The sun began to set, she had been sailing for awhile now. The city slowly disappeared behind her. She checked the sky for storms before taking a short break. Destiny soon became drowsy, falling asleep on a nearby crate.

She began dreaming about an empty room, the only thing that was in the room was two chairs and a single table covered in some strange cards. Most of them were blank except three of them. The first had a sun, the second one featured a star and the final one had a woman along with a lion. Destiny was confused about the cards, she heard a chair sliding, one of the chairs had a woman in it.

"When you find me...we need to have a look into your future." The woman said. Destiny tried making out her face but it was blurred. The only detail she could make out was that she had two different colored eyes.

As she tried to focus but she was awoke by her boat bobbing harder than usual. She checked the side of her ship, the waves were moving more violently. She immediately ran back to the wheel and kept her course.

"Stupid waves, waking me up from my dream that was giving something probably important " She mumbled as she rubbed her eyes.

"What was it that about?" She kept talking to herself to make sure she stayed awake. The three images from the cards flashed in her head. Sun, star, lady and lion...what could they mean. She would have to figure it out later, for the sea is telling her where to go next...
