[EXPEDITION] Wild Ocean

“No, I can do it myself…” “You won’t hurt anyone else, green beast,” Selene was about to begin the operation and carry out her plan, but Akane’s saddened face kept appearing in her thoughts, chaotically arising in her confused mind, reminding her of many things she had forgotten. Her hand trembled, as did her resolve, and she couldn’t bring herself to carry out her plan. “What am I doing?” she asked herself, wiping a single tear from her cheek. Still lost in her confused feelings, Selene, without saying a word, provided medical assistance to the wounded, and then quickly left this terrible place. Sylvka ran away without looking back, and eventually, her feet led her to the beach, where she immediately collapsed on the sand, breathing heavily. Once, Selene provided medical assistance to people to see their happy faces, but today she was going to use this knowledge to unfairly injure a humanoid who had done nothing wrong and whom she didn’t even really know, all because of childhood fears and a fleeting anger and resentment she felt when she saw her former mentor. Snow White felt disgusted with herself, but then, still lying on the sand, she turned onto her back and her gaze turned to the distance. She looked at the bright and majestic sun, at the deep and calm sky, and contemplating this infinite beauty, she herself became calmer, and a heavy burden that had weighed on her soul throughout her life seemed to lift. “How beautiful it is, this boundless, high sky, with clouds running across it, and how insignificant and trivial we all are compared to its grandeur.” Now, looking back on the events of today, her intention to cut off the unconscious orc’s arm and even the battle itself seemed like such small and insignificant events against the backdrop of the whole world that she couldn’t help but laugh at her own naivety, finally realizing that the world does not revolve around her and that everything that had worried her for so long has absolutely no meaning, just as life itself does not have any particular meaning. And if before such thoughts would have filled her with sadness, now, on the contrary, they gave her confidence. She will no longer regret anything and will live her life to the fullest, because it is so short!
