The foul wind of the Return to Void Sea Eye carried a heavy scent of rust, stinging the cheeks painfully. Chen Mo pressed a hand to his knee, the stinging pain of the scar beneath his ribs and the dull ache in his left eye yet to fully subside, before he was yanked back to his senses by the frantic barking of the Husky.
"Woof! Awooo! Woof woof woof!" The dog was entirely devoid of the exhaustion from the recent battle. The silver-gray halo flared back to life, its navigation trajectory glowing dazzlingly bright. Its paws beat incessantly against the rock at the edge of the precipice, its snout thrusting downward as drool nearly dripped onto the dark red reef shore below. Its eagerness was spitting image of a starving beggar who had just laid eyes upon a freshly roasted whole lamb.
