Still Alive

"Hurry!"
"I'm trying, Captain!"

Too bad, the machines' noise woke the Hydra. And now, it's chasing us by swimming.

"Do you have a good rest, Captain?"
"No, not at all!"

"Oh, shit!"
The Hydra is spitting fire at us.

"Captain, the generators are fully powered. It's already full speed!"
"But the Hydra is reaching us soon!"
"I don't know how!"
"Do you have an idea?" I asked.
"I have..."
"What?"

"Well, we've talked about this."

"No!! Other plan!"

"I can use myself as bait."

"No!"

"Then, when the Hydra is focused on me,"

"I am not risking you!"

"You can sail the ship quickly away from the Hydra's eyesight."

"No..."

"If we don't do this, we both die."

"I will be alone then," I said sadly.

"Well, at least you're alive, Captain."

"Connor?"

"What?"

"I will get through this for you. Boriz and Crust too."

"Thank you, Captain Stalk. I'm counting on you. On this ship."

Hiks...

"I'm ready to jump, Captain."

"Go ahead."

I can not believe this
I watched Connor as he jumped from the ship.
The Hydra sees him and stopped in front of him.
And I saw Connor winked at me for the last time.
I smiled back at him at said softly,
Thank you.

I also cried.
As I saw one of the Hydra's head bowed and bite somethin-someone.
Connor.
Then, my ship sails away.

Crust...
Boriz...
Connor...
Even if this is rough, thank you for sacrificing youselves to help me get back home safely.
Also, thank you for being with me through this journey until the end.
I will never forget you guys.

They may sacrifice themselves, but I still promised to them one thing, that I have to reach my final destination. Well, here I am, and I'm still alive. []
