Violet
I stood on the tallest structure still standing in the ruins. My eyes were still heavy from the tears I had shed, but the view before me stole my breath.
I had thought about how we would move from here. But I then realised that I was far stronger now. A whole lot stronger.
And what was wrong in spreading out my syzgy as far out as I could?
That way, I would be able to pinpoint where Bei was, and what direction I would need to go.
So, I had climbed one of the tallest structures to at least see where the sea was. At least, then I would know I needed to head in the opposite direction.
But to my shock, the body of water was closer than I expected.
The desert stretched in every direction, an endless expanse of pink sand rolling in dunes that caught the light of the setting sun.
But shortly after the ruins, to one side, was the sea.
No wonder I hadn't heard anything.
It was blood red, and still.
