Chapter 5: My Greatest Wish
Kivas remained silent.
The question had been asked, and the vastness around her seemed to hold its breath.
Would she like something in return?
She watched the celestial formation around her flicker, the ritual's embers still suspended in soft motion. The wings of the titans pulsed gently, their countless eyes still and waiting.
Kivas lowered her gaze, her thoughts drifting, scattered like ashes in deep water.
"I... I don't think I need anything," she finally said.
The words sounded strange. Even as she said them, they felt disconnected, floating above the depths she hadn't yet dared to explore.
A soft vibration moved through the space. The titan nearest to her responded.
"Is that the truth?"
Kivas flinched.
"I'm... unsure," she admitted.
