Part 68: Big Ship

As our boat sliced through the waters of the cave, the passage of time began to leave its mark. The oppressive darkness that had enveloped us gradually relinquished its grip, making way for the soft touch of dawn's light. The previously obscure path before us transformed, revealing the curve of the cave's contours as if guided by a serpent's design. With each moment, the veil of night was lifted, and the promise of a new day began to emerge.

And then, like a climactic reveal, the cave's maw opened to unveil a world beyond. The brilliance of daylight surged forth, casting away the remnants of darkness. The transition from the cave's embrace to the expanse of open sea was both a visual and emotional transformation – a testament to the journey's evolution from obscurity to clarity.
