Chapter 224: Okeanos's Quest

=

In the endless desert of the second Trial Quest -

Okeanos squinted his iridescent rainbow eyes as he felt bright and hot sun bear down on him. He did not like the sun. He much preferred the dark cold of deep water where he came from. The sun was too bright and too harsh.

Okeanos focused his powerful vision, zooming in around him. He saw nothing but endless slopes of sand marked with wavy grooves.

Pay attention to the currents. That was the precious hint the master had given, and Okeanos was determined to figure out the secret. He knew he was strong, but he wanted to show the master he was smart as well. That he was just as valuable as Valera, the commander.

Currents…currents…Okeanos's antennae twitched as he focused, but soon enough, his focus was broken from tremors causing the sand to shake all around him.
