Chapter 69: Whole New And Distant World
Astri and Claud are floating above a palette of blues and greens that stretch beyond imagination.
She could almost taste the salt in the air. Schools of iridescent fish danced around her, their scales reflecting the sunlight filtering through the water’s surface as they were letting a huge dark humpback whale appear in front of them.
A sense of tranquility washed over her even though such a big creature was in front of her. Claud knows the whale can not touch them, but unconsciously he holds her close to him.
"It’s all right. Can’t you feel he’s peaceful?" Astri asks Claud.
"I can.. Either way, you’re my mate and I will always question first before putting you at risk." Claud answers.
The whale starts to shift and then a pure white man with very long dark blue hair appears floating on the water. He can’t actually see them, but he can feel them.
"God of Nature? Are you there?" The whale beastman asks.
"Who are you? And why are you here?" Claud asks.
"... You’re not the God of Nature. I can sense you and another pure energy."
"I’m here too." Astri answers.
The whale beastman is impressed with the energy from her voice.
