Hypaxia sat on the crow's nest along with Yunho
(Don't even question how she learned that it was PURE chaos)With keen eyes, she scanned the horizon, her gaze fixed on the distant coastline of Pangdea as it gradually drew nearer with each passing moment. The anticipation hummed in the air, a palpable energy that echoed the excitement and trepidation of their impending arrival.
In the days leading up to this journey, the crew had been consumed by preparations, each member playing a vital role in ensuring that Seonghwa and Hongjoong's long-awaited reunion with their families would be a momentous occasion. Hypaxia couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in their collective efforts, a camaraderie that had forged bonds stronger than the tempestuous seas they traversed.
As she watched the coastline draw nearer, Hypaxia's mind wandered to the possibility of finally reconnecting with Hongjoong-a thought that had lingered in the recesses of her mind for weeks, even months. The memory of their last encounter danced at the edge of her consciousness, a fleeting moment amidst the chaos of their lives at sea.
She couldn't shake the feeling of longing that tugged at her heartstrings, a desire to bridge the distance that had grown between them. In the hustle and bustle of their seafaring adventures, there had been little time for quiet moments or meaningful conversations. Yet, amidst the relentless rhythm of life aboard the ship, Hypaxia found herself yearning for a connection-a chance to share her thoughts, her hopes, her fears with the enigmatic captain who had captured her curiosity and stirred her soul.
As the coastline loomed ever closer, Hypaxia felt a surge of anticipation course through her veins. The prospect of finally speaking with Hongjoong filled her with a mix of excitement and apprehension, like a sailor bracing for the unknown challenges that awaited them on the open sea.
"Let's go down Daphne," Yunho said as he effortlessly held a rope and glided down the high mast
"Coming," Hypaxia replied, her voice tinged with a mix of eagerness and anticipation. She followed Yunho's lead, carefully descending the high mast with practiced ease. Despite her initial hesitation, she found herself growing accustomed to the rhythmic sway of the ship and the gentle lull of the waves beneath her.
As she reached the deck, Hypaxia took a moment to steady herself, her gaze sweeping across the bustling activity of the crew. There was an air of excitement and anticipation that permeated the atmosphere, a palpable energy that hinted at the significance of their impending arrival at Pangdea's shores.
Soren greeted her with his wide eyes as he gave her a salute
"What's up my sarge" He jokingly said and pulled her with him
"What's up fish brain" She replied to her brother with a tongue out
They both laughed at each other and navigated through the ship
It was still marvelous how 9 people could steer a ship requiring 70-plus crewmates but who was she to question it was Hongjoong's crew.
Seonghwa came towards her side and wrapped his hand around her neck "You are so going to love my mother and grandma" he exclaimed and pulled her with him, leaving Soren behind who waved at Hypaxia teasingly.
As the ship parked at the dock and the gladiators lowered the anchor, Hongjoong stepped out of his room, Hypaxia gave him a small wave to which he ignored and looked somewhere else. Disappointed she looked down, Seonghwa not noticing the atmosphere pulled her off the ship with him
As Seonghwa guided Hypaxia off the ship, the bustling sounds of the port enveloped them, mingling with the salty tang of the sea air. The streets were alive with activity, merchants peddling their wares, sailors unloading cargo, and locals going about their daily routines. Hypaxia's senses were overwhelmed by the sights and sounds of Pangdea, a vibrant tapestry of colors and textures that painted a vivid picture of life in this bustling port city.
