Chapter 28 – Stranded in a Strange Sea

After the last rebel’s seed thrown at hian to surround him

Flashes of long lost ed his mind He watched it all like in a third-person point of view It was the memories of hoas disinterested to face the whole world, how he slowly felt comfortable in his own solitude, how a shameless spirit appeared one day and introduced himself as “Good-Natured Spirit” How he failed to connect with relatives in Yashura Family emotionally, hoas bullied and mocked by his own peers, then years back, how he cried the whole day because he missed his own father, and because he couldn’t remember the beauty of his mother’s kind face All of it flooded upon his numb soul

After they all passed, shi+ra opened his eyes, and found hie sea

He looked around He kneas here as a consciousness Like he was dreae of his soul, yet, he felt it ate before

The strange thing was, his body was floating on the sea surface He lied on crystal blue water like he lied on a soft mattress And he walked on the sea like he took a stride at the solid ground of his own garden It felt weird He didn’t feel wet at all

“What a weird place,” shi+ra thought

While the sea was very strange to him, somehow, he found it a little bit familiar

Isn’t this the kung fu energy Good-Natured Spirit used to say? This sea was full of it The youth felt he could easily practice the spirit’s ‘Water Flowing Style’ at insane speed here Unfortunately, he knew this was only a lifelike drea his body to this sea shi+ra Yashura didn’t knohat to do

The sea was calm but empty at the same time He waited Then occasionally walked forward by relied only upon the sun that hung in the cloudless blue sky

A dozen of hours passed, the youth realized that the sun still stuck in its original position And he waited for a day worth of tiht would never come

shi+ra didn’t feel hunger and thirst fro But still his mind was tired and bored

He walked for days But wasn’t sure how long he had been here because time didn’t exist As the time went by, he slowly lost hope to return to his own home

A year passed by Or maybe it’s two years?

shi+ra didn’t bother counting the tirow

Maybe it was re live an eventless day But there was nothing he could do except doing nothing Thus, on the surface of the strange sea, shi+ra learned to embrace the endless solitude

It was a torturing dream

A nightmare

Too ht he was trapped here for et his past; his family, the shameless Good-Natured Spirit, his always absent father andmaster of a rich fa from

He thought he was s And he slowly accepted that he became an empty shell of human consciousness The youth even started to suspect he wasn’t a huin with

There was no sadness and lonely again arose froe sea, all he could do was accepting everything as it was

However, it seemed that the sea didn’t want the youth to suffer

When shi+ra has completely abandoned the hope to return hoe the youth

continued to walk again

shi+ra knew the sea was alive, as she had her own consciousness But he shook his head as a response He was too tired fro one at that But the sea urged him even more
