The group's resolve (2)

A month passed since the harrowing encounter with the Leviathan Serpent and the Shadowmaw Behemoth.

During this time, the ship sailed towards Hin, and its occupants focused on their training and preparation for whatever they would find on the island under human control, but especially on the Mur continent.

Every member of the crew, from Erik and his lovers to the Chimaeric Demons, did their utmost to create more neural links.

For the Chimaeric Demons, though, it was harder because they had their duties to uphold. After all, they had to protect the ship and maintain its systems, and they had less time available to train compared to the others. Besides, it was also harder for them to make neural links.

But Mira, Amber, Emily, and Erik were the ones who really focused on the task. The three women pushed themselves hard because facing the situation with Leviathan Serpent made them feel like they weren't strong enough. Which was true.
