The Cartographer of Forgotten Coasts
fantasyEveryone5 contributors · 4 paragraphs deep
Mistress Pell wasn't home. On her table sat a dusty old chart, almost the twin of Edda's, signed by a mapmaker long dead. In the corner was a warning in faded ink: 'Draw only what you are ready to keep.' Edda's stomach tightened. She grabbed the chart and raced back toward the harbor.
Back at the harbor, Edda used the dead mapmaker's warning as her guide. She drew only one thing: a single safe dock she truly meant to keep. The ships moored to it without a scratch. Edda kept that dock for the rest of her life, never drawing another coast she wasn't ready to care for.
