I appeared behind the Curse, who was humming some tune while skipping across a field of flowers.


I made my presence known by increasing the weight of it's shadow, and converesely, it's own weight.


"En? Error?" It looked around before noticing the issue was with it's shadow.

"Ah, it's you! The one who even the Error didn't notice!" It finally realized my identity.


I didn't need to speak, it knew why I was here after all.


A giant, twisted mass of black tentacles was dropped into existence from the shadow. It covered the entirety of the plains where we were, it's tentacles even longer.


"Tehe~ My bad! I should have told them not to mess around with you guys~" said the Curse.

"Won't happen again, pinky promise!"


Warning given, I disappeared again, 'Concealing' myself from existence.


As long as it didn't inconvenience me, I was fine with the developments the Curse was making.


After all, it helped my goal as well.

We finally arrived at the main landmass of Atlas.


Or rather, what was supposed to be the main landmass of Atlas.


All we were greeted with, was more water.

Crystal clear, frigid water.


Through the water, we could clearly see the wreckage of what was once Atlas.


If one looked close enough, they could make out small shadows darting between the rubble.


The water itself seemed clear and free of creatures, but after surviving so long, none of us was fooled.

We saw a child floating on the water, struggling to stay afloat and screaming for help.


Pyrrha quickly speared it from afar with Milo, and recalled it.


The corpse quickly dissolved into a multitude of colourless squids, and disappeared into the water.


Our current destination, was the highest (now the only) mountain peak in Atlas, Mt Olymp.


I sighed as I shoved down another piece of some damned creature we hunted earlier today.

Sighing was more of a habit as I kept losing emotions.
