The endless ocean all around Jax rippled once, like a singular stone dropped into the water, and then suddenly, the echo of complete silence just returned.
It wasn't a kind of uncomfortable silence, nor was the silence due to a huge amount of tension. Instead, it was more of a silence caused by deep stillness.
The kind of stillness that only existed in places older than civilization itself.
Jax stood upon the perfectly calm surface of an infinite sea, golden eyes quietly observing the beautiful woman before him.
Everything about this woman felt extremely ancient. Not in the way ruins were ancient. Not in an old or worn way.
Instead, the woman felt timeless, as if she had existed for all of eternity, and will exist for the rest of eternity
The aura this Goddess gave off was like the ocean itself had simply decided to take shape.
