“The Swirling Sea is huge. It’s perfectly normal that it has some strange geographical features,” Thunder said after a moment of silence. “I’ve seen weathered rocky mountains in the Kingdom of Wolfheart. They’re pretty similar to those stone pillars although they’re not that long.”
“But unlike the land, there’s no wind underwater…” Camilla left her words unsaid.
“Wind?” Joan’s voice suddenly popped up in Camilla’s head. “There’s wind here.”
“What did you say?” Camilla asked quickly.
“Um, didn’t I make that clear?” Thunder replied with a cough. “Then I’ll repeat… Back in the Kingdom of Wolfheart, I saw — ”
“Not you. I was asking Joan!” Camilla snapped. She knew she was being rude, but she had no choice and had to interrupt Thunder. “Joan just said something… There’s wind at the bottom of the sea!”
The spectators on the deck were all mildly taken aback.
“I can’t feel it, but I can hear it… Listen, did you hear that?”
Camilla immediately concentrated. She knew as the channeling witch, she could hear whatever Joan heard. Instantly, she heard wind howl down the water just as air whistled out from a crack.
“I’ll dive further,” Joan said. “But I have to change my position.”
With these words, she untied her dress and her legs made contact with the water. Blue scales started to emerge from her ankles and crept up her legs. She now had a mermaid tail.
Suddenly, Camilla felt all the pressure weighing upon her vanish. She marveled at how far and fast the tail propelled her through water. She swam even faster than a fish.
This was what Joan really looked like!
Joan dived even faster.
“200 meters deep, and the wind seems to be louder… Still nothing has changed undersea.”
“400 meters. It’s completely dark. Luckily, Joan doesn’t need light to see things. The stone pillars… are still deeper down there, and there are now new pillars.”
“Could you stretch the rope a little farther?”
“Damn it, how deep is the water now? 600 or 800? Joan isn’t sure. However, the stone pillars — ” Camilla broke off. “No, that’s… impossible…”
“What’s the matter?” Thunder asked.
Camilla felt an ineffable chill run down her spine. “The pillars, the pillars… disappeared!”
“Disappeared? As in it vanished?” Thunder pursued, his brows furrowed as he turned around to look at the sea. The reefs were still there.
Camilla held her own trembling hands and said, “There’s no seabed… nothing… They’re suspended in the water!”
Everybody gasped.
Through Joan’s eyes, Camilla only saw the upper part of those stone pillars floating in the water. Their lower parts looked completely chopped off by some invisible force. Large reefs were simply suspended in the middle of the ocean in a creepy sort of way.
This was beyond the scope of her understanding.
“Suspended? Are you saying these islands are floating on the water?”
“By the name of the Three Gods, they’re all solid rock!”
“Woman, are you sure about what you see?”
