The flying ship soared through the darkness, descending deeper and deeper into the empty void. After Saint Tyris had left, nothing much happened for a long time.
They were surrounded by nothing, and nothing bothered them.
This was the oppressive nothingness that Sunny was familiar with all too well.
However, now, things were different. The first time he had fallen into the Sky Below, he was alone and desperate, without any way to escape and no certainty of what awaited him below. This time, he was surrounded by people, knew where he was going, and that they would be able to turn back at any point, if need be.
Not to mention that Sunny had a whole ship to explore, as opposed to plummeting down atop the corpse of a dead devil.
The ancient vessel was not giant, but large enough to make their journey rather comfortable.
