Senna was furious, allowing her frustration to vent off through a futile attempt to crush the rocks the beach primarily consisted of with her heavy steps. It was an unwise decision, to say the least, increasing the chance of injury as the stones were carved by the sea fashion, covered with slippery sediment. Yet, despite knowing it all too well, the woman did so, nonetheless.
The huntress's march was quite slow, filled with constant death threats and curses towards the ferryman. Still, she continued walking alongside the only trodden path she could see. It led her through massive rock formations. Given their overall scattering, a few explanations could have been imagined. Senna found one of them increasingly amusing. In her mind's depths, she could already see the giants of old throwing the rocks into the sea as a form of entertainment.
After a good while, the chestnut woman halted, displeased with the progress she had made. The path seemed endless, yet its end loomed in the distance, disappointing her. As she looked at the tall, perfectly flat wall that was the cliff, she could feel her anger flaring again. There was something unnatural about this place; she was sure of it. Senna could barely hear the crackling of the stones under her boots. Then, a crushing realisation came to her; bar the crackling, she heard nothing. There were no sounds of water, no fluttering of birds' wings, nothing. The woman could swear she had seen birds moving between the stone formation not later than a few moments before, but this place seemingly drowned out all sounds.
Once again, the chestnut-haired woman looked at the wall's perfect surface, finding something terrifying and unnatural in the nothingness surrounding it. She gulped, trying to swallow the excess saliva filling her mouth. She felt powerless, incapable of controlling her body. But, after a few prolonged moments, she somehow gathered her strength, forcing herself to push forward. As she continued the effort, the exchange with the ferryman inevitably replayed, feeling the huntress with more than a seed of doubt. More than a few questions lingered in her mind, flooding her consciousness with negativity and sorrow.
"Could've it been the truth all along?" Senna unwittingly whispered. At that moment, she would have paid a hefty price for someone to answer this question.
