Noma opened her eyes wide and stared at the stone in bewilderment. She trembled in every limb as she felt its power coursing through her body, and all of a sudden, she was connected. She felt the ebb and flow of the waters below the pier rocking the Ocean Queen in a gentle lull. She felt the waves rolling and crashing as the swells swept the shoreline and the currents that ripped through them like rivers rushing out to sea. Most astonishing of all, she felt it all from within, like the beating of her heart--like the very blood that ran through her veins.
Fearing she might lose herself to a deeper part of which she was unprepared, Noma set the stone down and took a deep breath. That was when she took notice of the note. I'm sorry, it said in black ink. It was smudged, although not because he had been in any hurry.
Noma placed the note back down on the counter with a sigh and rubbed her temples. She felt for him, but what he had done was cruel, and wrong. There were plenty of ways to get the point across without resorting to such humiliating tactics.
All things had a breaking point, hearts included. Noma couldn't go through that again. There was no going back to how things were, as much as she wished for that to be a lie. Things were different, now. She was different. She'd rather break her own heart missing him than risk anything like that happening again.
It took all of Noma ten minutes to pack, as she didn't have much. All the while she wondered and worried over how her father would react to the lengthy heartfelt letter she was leaving him, along with the Siren's Eye. It had taken her days to write, but she knew he would never let her go if she told him what her plans were to his face. Noma took one last look at the Ocean Queen before heading down the pier to the harbor.
