Bucket List | Notion

Short Summary: Aiden, a half-Lemurian boy struggling with his identity, and his grandfather embark on a final adventure to fulfill his bucket list. Rafayel, the Lemurian Sea God, appears at the end to officiate the grandfather's passing ceremony, and Aiden reflects on Rafayel's own potential longing for freedom despite his immortality.
