"Let the waters guide you... just as Selene guides them..."
"You've been away long enough... It's time to come home.."
All Y/n wanted out of her dull, mundane life was to find out the truth about herself. Will she succeed in her endeavours or end up...

Oh this is familiar.
Lying on the sandy shores of my 'birthplace', cold and wet from the waves, I watched as the same figure above me morphed into the silhouette of an unknown man. My strained vocal cords sounded out my worthless screams as I struggled to move my dead limbs.
The moon in my peripheral, water lapping in the background, he muttered the same gibberish that I failed to comprehend for years on end.
Why was this dream still happening? There was nothing left to look for in my past.
Just like last time, his dark face lowered down to be in line with one of my ears, making me desperate to know what he had to say this time round. Would he talk about something new or repeat the same brief words as before, words that I still had no clue as to what their meaning was or what they were referring to.
"You're so warm... you're almost there," he spoke clear as day, wiping at the rivulets of tears that were running down my face.
"Let the waters guide you... just as Selene guides them..." His silky voice rolled off his tongue in enchanting waves.
"You've been away long enough...It's time to come home.."
Not wanting to make the same mistake as last time, or risk being woken up by the outside world, I forced away my cries and calmed myself.
"What do you mean?" My words came out scratchy and pained. "Please...please tell me!" The last of my pleas strained out in a slight tremble.
Continuing to stroke my cheeks, he cupped them both in his cold, damp hands, locking my gaze to his hidden one. I waited for him to speak, however unsettling silence imbued us as he offered no words of reply. Patience wearing thin, I tried again by firing out more questions.
"My home? You mean in the city, Seoul?"
His head slowly shook from side to side at that, "No sweet thing.."
"Then where, back at one of my foster homes, Mr Yang even?" I cringed at that man's name, hoping with all my heart that that didn't turn out to be the case.
Placing a finger on my lips to quiet me, he sighed.
"You will know in due time... Your body and soul are being drawn towards it as we speak... The pull will only grow stronger..." he uttered musically.
"Don't resist these signs...doing so will only lead to your downfall..."
I processed his vague statements, trying to get a glimpse of the man's face, a nose, mouth, a freckle, anything. However no matter how hard I stared, my dream sadly denied me that request.
He gently combed his fingers through my drenched locks, strangely soothing me in the process as he continued on with his brief sentences.
"Trust your intuition, your instincts... Embrace them with your whole being and you can't go wrong...."
