This is the first story written in second person I’ve read since school. The primary character is from an underwater society, coming to the surface to sign a new treaty between the underwater people and the land people. There is an escort for xem, a guard to ensure the path to the capital to sign the treaty is smooth. 

I wasn’t expecting it to end in such a tragedy, though the signs are there. I don’t want to spoil the ending, but I was shook and so sad for the two characters. And, the guard reminded me of Westley from The Princess Bride with their “As you wish,” and I hope that is somehow foreshadowing that everything will work out for the pair one day.
