One Strike, One Ocean

First, I sat cross-legged on the floor, placing the staff beside me. Then, I picked up the infusion crystal labeled Staff Skill and rolled it in my palm, watching the blue particles swirl inside.

After a moment of hesitation, I decided to go for it and crushed the crystal in my hand.

The swirling particles flickered before surging straight into my head.

My vision darkened for a brief second, and when it cleared, I found myself standing on the waves of an ocean.

Dark clouds loomed overhead, stretching endlessly across the sky. 

The ocean beneath was restless, its surface rising and falling like a living beast.

To me, it felt like a storm was coming, and the ocean was preparing for it. Then, my eyes landed on the person I believed this vision belonged to, a woman, not human, but something else.

She stood in the heart of it all, untouched by the chaos around her.
