Faye Yardley didn't just wait around on the raft. After opening the chest, she went back into the sea.
The moment she entered the water, she could feel it was even less calm beneath the surface than above. Strange fish, carried by the tide, swarmed her in wave after wave.
Of course, they were all blocked by her protective shield.
As she descended, the strange fish converged on her as if they'd caught the scent of a delicious meal.
Faye Yardley went on a killing spree!
To her dismay, all the strange fish were contaminated and couldn't be broken down.
So, other than gaining combat experience, she got nothing out of it.
The more she killed, the angrier she became. People tend to do irrational, impulsive things when they're angry.
And that was Faye Yardley right now. She plunged headfirst into The Thunderhead, swimming rapidly through the seawater, which buzzed with a numbing current. She even surfaced right in the middle of it, a seed and a flowerpot appearing in her hands.
