• Clíodhna’s Wave (Tonn Chlíodhna) Aug 13, 2025

  

  By Glandore’s bright bay there is a wave that knows its own name. Fishermen mark it as a friend and a warning; children chase its edges and run back laughing. They call it Tonn Chlíodhna, and a queen’s story travels inside it like a shell’s whisper.

  Clíodhna loved a mortal and left the hill for the shore, as powerful people sometimes do when what they want is not power but a hand to hold. She promised to meet him at dawn. The sea promised nothing, being old enough not to boast.
