“When my plumes turn amber, stay a little. The warmth is the kind that keeps you.”
Terracevent's gill-plumes brighten near safe warmth.

When the water or the mist turns warm, the amber gill-plumes at Terracevent's neck brighten and the tiny jade pavilions on its shoulders chime softly, a living signal that a safe, warm place is near.

The living story
The story so far
Terracevent emerged where warm vent water rose far enough to meet low cloud, and neither the vent swarms below nor the terrace watchers above quite claimed the newcomer in pearl shell and jade roofs. So Terracevent claimed the in-between instead, learning to read heat the way others read weather.
Happening now
Now Terracevent keeps a slow watch between depths and heights, raising one hand into every new current and letting the amber plumes at its neck decide whether the warmth is welcome or a warning. Travellers from both parent worlds have started leaving small offerings at the pavilions on its shoulders before a long journey.
What may come
One season the vents may cool and the terraces may clear on the same day, and Terracevent will have to choose which home to warm first — or find, as it suspects, that the mist between them was always a home of its own.
What others saw
Whispers about Terracevent
“I learned watching from two places: down where it is dark and warm, and up where it is bright and thin.”
Terracevent bridges the vent deep and the cloud terrace.
“Listen at my shoulder before you travel. If the little roofs are quiet, wait for a kinder current.”
The terrace pavilions chime with changing currents.
