[A short note for pirates, I have edited all the chapters once again( from chapter 26 onwards, and chapter names too. Get to the work LMAO. ]
Ibaan's eyes widened when he saw the creature—completely different from every abomination he had faced so far. It looked more like a small forest spirit than anything twisted or hostile. It felt as if the world inside the walls and the world beyond them belonged to two different creations altogether.
The creature's purple eyes softened, its fur and feathers shifting like a living cloak. Calmly, it sat down without showing even a hint of aggression, which Ibaan found strange. But his heart melted a little; it looked so fresh and gentle that he almost wanted to keep it. The creature felt harmless—safe and even.
And Ibaan had no intention to fight. He only stared into its purple eyes, feeling a rare moment of peace settle over him.
