The higher you fly, the harder you fall.
She has always remembered those words, but she never thought she would experience them in reality like this.
The air current only climbed higher and higher and Adele’s fear only increased with the altitude.
In the first place, she had a fear of heights, and even this bravery is sheer gratitude to save lives.
At some point, Neil stopped vomiting, but did not wake.
As time passed, she is sure they have more than crossed the barrier.
She cast symbiosis on him once more.
Neil laid down flat on the raft, staring up at the sky. The sky here is not all blue. In some places, it’s green, pink, blue and black… There are no stars to be had in the night, just two moons, and a psychedelic patch of blue, representing different oceans. Adele cancelled symbiosis on him. He could not even gather enough energy to scold her. However, a rumbling sound from the ocean woke him immediately. The baby whale which kicked them upright is here once more. It’s circling their
Once Adele had finished removing barnacles around the fins, the giant whale sank into the water gently, floating on the water.Adele continued her work, roaming around the whale, removing one line of barnacles after another.She seemed to be insanely chipper to be doing this tedious work. From another perspective, she seems to be trying to avoid the conversation with himself.Neil sighed.He did not regret his actions.It’s just that he really did not want to get entangled in this chick-flick routine of avoidance, misunderstanding - stupidity - more avoidance - more misunderstandings.
The first swing fell into the water. So did the next ten. On the magical twelfth try, Neil has given up the 46-man raft, and tried for the paddling rescue boat. He hooked it successfully. Yay! He started pulling it towards him. However, within a few seconds, Neil realized, it’s probably best to leave towing the raft out of saline waters to the baby whale. He handed the rope to the whale, and in no time, the paddler was beside them. Neil got into the water to remove the rope from baby
“Yes.” Adele answered.Neil was shocked into silence.“You don’t even know me.” Neil exclaimed.“I have fallen in love from the moment I have seen you. I always wanted to swim in your deep eyes, and be the end of every one of your thoughts. I love your curly hair and I live your webbed feet..” Adele continued.“Oh! For god’s sake.. Stop it!” Neil said, cracking a smile.Adele stopped with a smile.“Why would you say yes?” Neil wondered. Neil returned in far better spirits than when he left.Adele just finished her first session and the elderly whale looked like a blue watermelon with far too many stripes.She flew straight to the paddler Neil is at, settled in the seat beside himself.“You look different.” she said, as she looked at Neil.“Let’s just say, I just found the grand meaning of my life.” Neil said.Adele just smiled at him slightly, her eyes joining in the smile for the first time in a long while.Neil was shocked to look at the smile, for it is the first genuiTreasure hunting in endless ocean First Barrel
Neil was nowhere to be found by the time Adele finished her work.There were three more new barrels tied to the raft, and Neil seemed to be on the hunt for more.All the same, Adele sat down and opened her console.In the buildings, she checked the ones that are already researched.All of Neil’s researched buildings and blue prints are available to her, as is his inventory.She could only say it’s enormous.Only, she could not retrieve a single item from Neil’s inventory.If the s
The elderly whale did not stop with giving the quest. It immediately started towing their raft towards the burial ground. Neil and Adele just sat on the starboard, and enjoyed the joyride on a placid sea. It’s a nice feeling, to be able to just sit and cruise a wee bit above sea water. Adele was researching the drop of water it seems. “Neil! This drop of water is blessed water! Do you want to use it?” Adele asked excitedly as she looked at the properties of the blessed water. “But!.. It is the fruit of your labor.” Neil balked. He indeed wanted to tak
Rather than staying in water and suffering, Neil surfaced to catch his breath.His gills have not yet retracted, neither did his eyes.The detail with which he can see the night sky is amazing. More so, for he could only perceive magical and thermal bodies.Adele is a shining beacon of magic. No wonder Kraken camped underneath her with such persistence.Then, there were the bodies in the sky. Even without looking, he can tell, the magic beasts up there are far too big for him to even consider collecting their droppings.Coming to collecting! Why is he suffering like this when he has a system?<
