The Lady of the Lake
After the world ran out of water, everything fell apart. What’s left is dust and a broken system held together by old machines. Somewhere beneath an artificial lake, a forgotten AI waits. She was built to protect the water, but now, she chooses who deserves it.
Riven is a scavenger, carrying something valuable and dangerous in his satchel. When a deal goes wrong, he ends up injured and alone in the slums, until Cassian finds him. Cassian is sharp, mocking, and works at a place where people sell what they have to survive. They don’t trust each other, but neither has a choice.
As they travel deeper into the ruins, strange things begin to happen. Riven starts to feel something calling to him from beneath the lake. The AI is waking up.
This is a story about survival, trust, and two people learning to rely on each other in a world that’s falling apart.
