A New Quest

Silence reigned through, the sound of stifled tears slowly fading away, and slowly a new light blossomed in the cave as Nyx released Hael from her hug.

Hael turned, his jaws dropping when he witnessed the sight before him.

Quickly, he picked up the rowing boat and began rowing with speed.

"It's... It's a waterfall!" Hael yelled in shock, his heart almost stopping as he did all he could, swiveling backwards to prevent the ship from approaching the sharp bend and falling off.

But all he did was only failure, and the boat only moved faster to the edge of the waterfall. Hael's heart chilled up in his ribcage, but soon he noticed something amiss.

As he looked behind him, he found Princess Nyx on the verge of exploding into laughter, something she finally did after seeing Hael's troubled expression and rapidly beating chest.
