  Chapter Five: Envoy of the Afterlife                “I’ve always thought that the northern ocean is the most beautiful place in AgrideÄ«,” whispered the voice in the tempest. Though his back still ached, Hatasuko twisted his head to the right and stared at the ocean as he sailed on by. The flatland of AgrideÄ«’s northern coast was bumpy enough to amplify the pain every few seconds, but the sail-rana still worked better than walking. As he dealt with the pain, he looked over the starlit sea and watched the weak waves crash into the sand. With every wave that fell, a small cloud of steam lifted into the air. “Even with all the waves and steam, the water reflects the stars in the sky. You’re right, Sokaido; this is beautiful,” Hatasuko answered back. “It’s a harsh world out there. We need to see beauty everywhere we can find it. It’s like a single piscileo hidden in the ocean. You just have to fish for it!” “Somet...

               Chapter Four: Touched by the Darkness               “Caught between two realities, all I hear is screaming.”             Hatasuko ran through the streets of the island city, racing toward the Interfectus. A swirling cloud of fog and smoke swallowed every street; the flames and stars barely pierced it enough to illuminate the city. Except for the nearest homes and wagons, he could only see a single thing: the massive silhouette of the Interfectus levitating over the rooftops. He heard nothing but the running and screaming of people in the distance. He could not think of anything except the anguish of the lost souls locked inside his head.             “As soon as the shadows swallowed the starlight, the symphony of screams grew restless. Their lifeless eyes w...

Chapter Three: In Shadows of Scarring Memories (I1B0C3)

  Chapter Three: In Shadows of Scarring Memories   “We need to head north,” Hatasuko muttered in his sleep.             The sound of his own voice startled him from slumber. His eyes slowly fell open to the world of endless starlight, revealing a wide river which glistened in the pulsing light. Hatasuko took a moment to remember his location, but he quickly realized that he was sitting in the front seat of a sail-rana. Vaida was half-asleep in the seat behind him. She covered her face with her dark hair, hiding her eyes from the pulsing starlight. The boat drifted quickly with the current as the river flowed east, though they kept their sails folded; the wind flowed northwest as usual. Hatasuko glanced ahead and saw that Lazaro led by a short distance, though Lazaro could still hear him over the splash of the river.             Lazaro said from a short dista...
