Chapter 327 - Interconnections (2/2)
”No wonder It's hard to keep track of your presence and movements. You must be quite the skilled one, huh…”
Satire who watched and listened from afar, frowned at how clueless Hexo was being. 'Does he think it's some kind of joke…?' She wondered
'He's… Not mad…?' Shera wondered
”Huh…? What are you going on… About…? Do you think this is funny…?” Shera asked
”Shera?” Hexo muttered
'Oh boy… That idiot…' Satire thought to herself as she placed her palm on her face.
Shera's confusion had all been completely turned into anger which clouded her thoughts as she began to speak her true thoughts.
”Cool…? It's cool…? Tell me… Tell me what about it is cool!? I kill people for money, murder! It doesn't matter if they're bad or not, I take lives! I ruined everything which meant everything to me because of it, and now I have nothing!” She shouted.
She then glared at Hexo as she muttered. ”If you still think that's cool… then somethings wrong with you…”
After the words had come out, Shera had finally realized what she had said. She had lost her cool again, even though it was something she was taught countless times to never do.
She looked up to see the look on Hexo's face, thinking or assuming that he'd have realized and regretted his words by now, but he still had that same smile on his face.
”Yeah… You're still cool. I mean… What's not cool about doing whatever you can to survive?” He asked.
Shera had always been good at reading expressions. She could tell when someone was pitying her or sympathizing with her. But the smile on his face, didn't seem like it was either of those. It was a smile filled with sorrow, almost as if he had experienced something similar.
When she saw it, she didn't know what to say in return. Even Satire didn't expect that reply. Satire was even beginning to wonder if she should have even been there.
Shera opened her mouth to say something, but that moment was quickly interrupted by John who appeared out of nowhere in between them.
”Let's go.” He muttered, completely oblivious to the mood as he stretched out his hands to them.
Satire who saw this was dumbfounded but at the same time felt saved.
'Perfect timing…' She thought to herself.
Shera nodded and so Did Hexo. They didn't say any other words and grabbed on to John's hand. Satire who saw this, did the same.
Once everyone got a firm hold over John, they all levitated up heading straight towards the small floating Earth platform they had prepared.
***
Minutes, Hours and Days pass as they continued on their journey. The destination getting ever so closer with each passing second.
Currently, they were traveling at around 120 Miles per hour on the floating platform.
John had given the platform small walls around A meter tall just in case of any accidents and four earth vaults which contained each of their luggage.
Each once was in each corner of the platform to balance it, but due to the difference in weight from each luggage It became harder to control the platform and keep it balanced, but he soon-after got used to it.
There was no development in the relationship between Hexo and Shera, the two were hadn't been talking much if not when necessary.
The whole mood between the group was rather tense, and satire was the only one trying to liven it up.
However, she didn't have to do much as the view itself played a great part.
”Hey… Is that, what I think it is?” Hexo asked as he stared into the distance.
The moment they did, their eyes widened. The sun rising from the direction of a large, deep blue ocean which stretched out as far as the eye could see.
In that one moment and for just that one moment, The scenery along with the sun rising, had lifted all of the weight of their minds, as they all shared the same thought.
”Beautiful…” Satire muttered as a tear could be seen forming in her eye.
They had finally done it. They had reached the ocean.
