"..." Ophelia stared at the distance sky while holding her crystal blue necklace.
She received a farewell gift from Goddess Ely, and it might take a while until they could meet again. Goddess Ely had to go to a faraway place, and she was probably the only one in this world who knew about it.
"Oh, El!" Althea waved her hand at the sky, knowing her Goddess had gone to a faraway place. She then grabbed her necklace and nibbled the purplish-blue gem with a teary gaze.
"No, don't bite that, my baby. We'll meet Goddess Ely again someday." Ophelia gently pulled the gem from her baby's mouth.
"Eiy!" Althea pointed towards the sky.
"Yes, our God will visit us someday. You need to grow and be strong. Let's go. Mommy has some private training classes for you~" Ophelia kissed her baby's cheek and dived under the sea, back to her chamber in the deepest tower.
