Wang Xiao's eyes narrowed in astonishment.
'China?'
The very notion sparked a connection.
The ship that had abducted him had also been snatching other children from China.

He pondered whether, devoid of her strength, she could still possess enough power to tear those who dared to apprehend her.
Wang Xiao was correct in his speculation, yet he hadn't considered the impact millions of years of confinement could have on one's psyche.
Naomi, overwhelmed by fear and determined never to return to her prison, refrained from taking lives.
It wasn't until she reunited with the sea, regaining some semblance of confidence by rekindling her bond with Tiamat through wave frequencies, that she found her resolve.
She chose to remain an observer, selecting his body as her vessel.
