Chapter 264: Vibrating ship
Hind woke slowly, and for the first time in over a year, there was barely any pain- just a dull, distant thrumming. There was none of the old sharpness that felt like daggers being thrust into her head and soul before being rotated constantly.
I… What happened?
The bed below her seemed to tilt ever so slightly, then swayed somewhat.
I'm on a ship!
She opened her eyes, looking at the smooth ceiling of a ship's cabin, then raised her left hand up. A single card sat there, the sharpness of its lines showing it was at least topaz. She faintly recalled grabbing it, then everything had gone dark.
Why could I slot it? Am I fixed now?
She probed her soulscape, but a burst of pain made her quickly withdraw. She had never been able to enter it after forming it and had no idea of its state. Still, nightmares of broken barriers and chaos soulforce drifting through it had plagued her ever since it had happened.
"Are you feeling alright?"
A young voice caused her to blink, and she looked to the side where a small woman, no a girl still, sat. She had purple-blue hair, a sharp, curious face, and icy blue eyes that still managed to radiate warmth.
"You're a Yuurindi," Hind said, blinking stupidly.
The girl's eyes narrowed, a look of hostility replacing her curiosity.
"No, wait, I didn't- I mean, there's only a few here! Does that mean I'm at Smith Irwin's ship?" she asked quickly, shaking her head to try and clear it off the thick fog of sleep.
