Blown and Drawn

Minutes turn into an hour, and an hour turns to what seems like a whole year of a futile hunt.

Eli and Venus hops from one floor to another in an attempt to reunite with Hal and the others. But even up to this point, the two were still in the middle of an arduous search. 

Then again, they could spend an entire day to search every crook and canny in this vast Realm, but even then, they doubt they can finish at least almost half of it. Eli is estimating that this place might as well be a floating castle in the ocean, not only due to how opulent the decorum is, but also because it's probably just as big as one.

She almost breaks her neck every time she catches sight of something sumptuous and attention-grabbing, which she thinks is the whole setting is. Being there now makes her feel like she's some kind of a country bumpkin who just arrived at an urban city for the first time.
