The Emptiness in Our Heart

Walking through the streets her face stayed bored. The warm breeze blew her hair a bit, she was close to the shoreline now. At some point she decided to go watch the sea, while she was nearing her destination.

The guards didn't stop or question her when she climbed onto the wall. Sera's usual serious expression and empty eyes made most people so uncomfortable that they straight up went away when she approached.

On the large city wall she sat down at its edge and watched the waves a few dozen meters away. The Sun was still quite low and reflected on the water, making the azure waves even more magical.

Sometimes kilometers from the shore, monsters popped out of the water and fought with each other changing the azure water blood-red. Strangely enough corpses never washed onto the shore, they were always devoured by smaller monsters. Even the bones were consumed in their strange ecosystem.
