The Legacy of the Uncharted

~ Chapter 20 ~ New discovery and training day

After Razor revealed the translation, a tense silence filled the cabin. Alexandria, Eli, and Razor were all processing the weight of what had just been uncovered. But then Razor broke the silence again, a thoughtful look on his face.

- Razor : There's something else I've been thinking about, Captain. You and Lucy... have you ever considered the possibility that you might be related? You both possess these strange, untapped powers, and the journal hints at a bloodline connected to the Heart of the Sea."

Eli raised an eyebrow, his gaze shifting to Alexandria.

- **Eli**: "That's... a stretch, isn't it? Alex, you don't even know much about your family, and Lucy never mentioned anything about hers. But... the powers you both have? It's possible."

Alexandria, startled by the idea, ran her fingers over the leather cover of the journal, her mind racing.

- **Alexandria**: "Related? Lucy and me? I mean... I've always felt this pull to the sea, this connection, but I don't know anything about my family. The journal could hold answers, but it doesn't say anything specific about us."

Razor leaned forward, his voice low and serious.

- **Razor**: "It's not just a theory, Captain. There are whispers in old legends about certain families who are tied to the ocean, families with powers that can control the sea itself. This journal... it's only the start. If you and Lucy are part of that bloodline, you're connected to something much bigger than either of you can imagine."

Alexandria's mind was spinning with possibilities. Could it be true? Could she and Lucy be connected in ways she never understood before?

- **Alexandria**: "It's possible. But right now, this is all speculation. I want to believe it, but we need more proof. The journal is just one piece of the puzzle. We need more clues—something concrete."

Eli, ever the voice of reason, placed a hand on Alexandria's shoulder.

- **Eli**: "He's right, Alex. We need more information before we can jump to conclusions. But we can't ignore the fact that the two of you share this strange power. Except... your power hasn't awakened yet."

Alexandria's expression hardened. This was something she had been thinking about constantly since Lucy's power had surfaced. Unlike Lucy, who had unleashed a force that had saved them all, Alexandria hadn't felt anything—no surge of energy, no strange abilities manifesting. If she was part of this mysterious bloodline, why hadn't her powers awakened?

- **Alexandria**: "I don't understand why. Lucy's powers have awakened, but mine... nothing. I've always felt a connection to the sea, but there's been no sign of any power. What if I don't have it?"

- **Razor**: "The journal talks about trials, Captain. Maybe your power awakens only when you face something specific, something connected to your past or to this Heart of the Sea. It's not uncommon for powers like these to be triggered by events or emotions. You might not be aware of it yet, but it's there."

Alexandria nodded, feeling a strange mix of relief and frustration.

- **Alexandria**: "Maybe you're right. Maybe there's something I haven't encountered yet. But until then, I'll have to rely on what I know. We'll follow the clues in the journal, and we'll keep our eyes open for anything that ties Lucy and me together. If this is true, then we're in the middle of something far bigger than just this journey. And we need to be prepared for whatever comes next."
