:Playing ~I Lived~ by OneRepublic:
Hope when you take that jump,
You don't fear the fall.
Hope when the water rises,
You built a wall...
When I was a girl, I wondered what this universe had in store for someone like me…
A flash of sea-green in the sunlight along with the glitter of fast-moving water shoots across the screen as the scenery rushes by.
Hope when the crowd screams out,
It's screaming your name.
Hope if everybody runs,
You choose to stay.
When my mother died when I hit fifteen, she told me to follow my heart, see what happens, and force the stars into the oceans of the cosmos with my powers.
The sound of rushing water is heard as we approach a rocky cliff over a restricted quarry, the camera swivels left, right, then behind and we see the tanned freckled face of our female protagonist, Persea Jackson, a human with extraordinary powers, riding on a wave of summoned water from an underground reservoir a few miles back. She looked up at the cloudy skies of Montressor and smirked. With a slight flex of her fingers, Persea created a tornado of water and rode it up into the skies.
But I'd never found my calling… I've spent the last two months since my mother died traveling to her old friend, a Sarah Hawkins, in hopes that she'll take me in.
A whoop from below caught Persea's attention, and looking down, she saw a young male about her age, maybe a year older, ducking, riding, and doing sick moves on his Solar Surfer. Persea's eyes went wide at the precision the man was able to have, the reflexes and the instinctive decision making.
Then, one day, this guy sees me using the powers I swore to keep secret and drags me off on an adventure across the stars with people I barely had time to know.
Hope that you fall in love,
And it hurts so bad!
The only way you can know?
Give it all you have!
Sure we got into our spats, contests, and all around major differences…
The Persea summons a barrel's worth of water and dumps it over Jim's head, soaking him and effectively stopping him from yelling at her, the glint in her sea-green eyes daring him to try. Then the frame changes to them cooking and washing dishes in a race, then to them glaring at each other so hard you could practically see the lightning in the background.
But at the end of the day, we're both humans- we both hurt, bleed, and cry like all the other beings on the adventure. And we also experience happiness, life, and soon see what really matters in the end…
And I hope that you don't suffer,
But take the pain.
Hope when the moment comes,
You'll say...
The frames then show Jim crying as he mourns the loss of Mr. Arrow, blaming himself for the death of a good man. Persea pushing Jim out of the way of a blast of laser fire then getting hit herself when there are pirates raiding the RLS Legacy, and the two keeping each other's nightmares away when they share a hammock at night.
Then the two are seen tying knots with Silver before Jim motions for Persea to follow him. when Silver turns around, there are two perfect noose knots to keep him company. Persea is then seen in the galley, singing for the crew and adding flare by using her powers to create shapes and figures in the air.
We found love, too.
Then, when Persea opens her mouth to sing the same song her mother, the Vulpinari taught her in the Galley, the song sings the same lyrics and the water around her bursts into streams of glittering liquid diamonds. Jim's eyes go wide at the spectacle while the crew's voices whoop and shout in awe.
"I~! I did it all~!"
The two teenagers are seen fighting off the pirates side by side, back to back, while Amelia and Dr. Doppler get to the lifeboats.
"I~! I did it all~!"
Scenes flash by, showing Jim unlocking the map to Flint's trove, the two teenagers flying into a comet and getting ice crystals all over themselves with Silver laughing beside them.
Them working to secure the lifelines and protecting each other from the rubble of the devolving exploded star.
I owned every second that this world could give!
I saw so many places,
The things that I did!
With every broken bone,
I swear I lived!
The two tenagers dancing in the galley as Silver plays a tune, the two stargazing at the lights around them. Then finally, the two surfing together on Montressor, Persea on her wave of water and Jim on his Solar Surfer. The two reach out their hands and do a fist bump before they fall together.
After all, what's life without an adventure?
