As Skadi reassured Cetas, she stood near the edge of the ship, gazing at the endless sea beyond.
The sun scorched hot in the sky, casting shadows of the Schooner in the Harbor.
"Do you see, Cetas?"
Cetas slowly walked behind her, also looking at the blue expanse.
"The sea is as boundless as our hearts, it goes forever into the horizon. Everything. It's out there."
"What is?" Cetas asked with a curious tone.
The waves crashed into the edges of the Harbor's wooden pillars down below. The winds made Cetas' hair flow to the side, and the radiance of the sun warmed his skin.
Seldomly, the ship would rock slightly.
Skadi turned around, her golden hair sweeping like the waves below.
"Freedom.. There is freedom beyond the seas."
"Freedom.."
Cetas couldn't quite fathom what the word 'freedom' meant. Even with the knowledge that the Historian imparted, he could only make out its definition.
But he couldn't understand it.
