It was peaceful in the eye of the storm, if a little bit eerie. The strange lack of the sensation of time had been uncomfortable at first, but Sunny quickly found himself forgetting that time had ever existed at all.
The view of the azure sky reflecting on the perfectly calm water was beautiful and tranquil. The silence was like a lullaby, making him feel at ease. Sunny had not felt such peace in a long, long while...
There was no need to hurry, and no possibility to do so anyway. Without telling how long their actions took, they could not know whether they were being slow or swift either. So, it was fine to just let go and remain still for a bit, enjoying the serene stillness of the world...
Which was why Sunny soon found himself feeling cold dread.
'N-not... this is not good...'
It was just too easy to be lulled into inaction in this strange and frozen place. At some point, Sunny realized that he did not know how long he had remained sitting with his back against the side of the ketch, without a thought in his head.
His eyes widened slightly.
If they weren't careful... would they end up frozen forever in the eye storm, too, just like everything else was frozen in this tranquil haven?
Shuddering, he turned to Ananke and asked:
"How long has it been since we reached this place?"
She helplessly shook her small head.
"I don't know, my Lord."
He hesitated.
