[hr]

Aleen'a breathed onto her fists. She's already changed into a newer, drier set of clothes after coming back from the sea outside. She could still feel the impact from when the submarine decided to fire against the squid, ending its life in a snap. The blue waters seeped with red blood and black ink as its destroyed body slowly floated up to the surface. She was still in shock about what happened and she was more appalled that anyone would be capable of outright murdering a living creature. 

She looked at her open palms. She would've reacted in time. Why did she hesitate? Was it because of the uncertainty of battling on a planet that's still alien to her finally catching up to her? Was it because of the growing frustration of not being understood, of missing her home at Tamaran? What would her parents say to her right now?

What would Koriand'r say to her right now?

She felt disbelief at Victor as he had claimed he was the one who fired at the squid without an ounce of heart in his voice. Perhaps that was him all along and his true personality was gradually coming up to the light, but Aleen'a didn't care for him. She looked over in Ja's direction and then at her team as one or the other shouted, she didn't know who. She could feel all their shock, grief, and anger, crashing down on her like the sea during a storm. Amongst the emotions of the team, she could feel Ja's the strongest, her heart ached along with his. She knew words would not be enough to console him but in her own way and she didn't think she could do anything. 

[color=ec008c]"I need to go-"[/color] Aleen'a said to herself as she stood up and tried to fly, realizing that she's within the submarine and they're probably hundreds of feet away from the surface now. She looked out the window and saw only blue, the sunlight getting fader the deeper they go. She felt her heart race and tighten and she took faster, deeper breaths, slumping back down on her seat. Her team's emotions, not to mention the fact that she couldn't fly out and get as much sunlight as she could anymore, was overwhelming Aleen'a.

[color=ec008c]"[i]Vresna o-tathra X'hal sumda. Vresna o-tathra X'hal sumda. Vresna o-tathra X'hal...[/i]"[/color] She repeated to herself in raspy breaths, sweat dripping down her forehead as the collective pain of those surrounding her filled up her heart. She tried to focus on the happy memories that she had on Tamaran and the selective ones she had with the others and Kori here on Earth, but she found it harder and harder to do so as her consciousness slowly faded away into darkness.
