Author: I wrote this for fun. I hope you enjoy reading this short chapter in the perspective of someone.
What a strange feeling....
Sunken and alone at the bottom of the ocean. That's what I felt...the memories that remained inside this malice filled soul. An Abyssal; It's what I am now...what I was before? I can't remember...
"The sea is beautiful..." I told myself
Free of anything. That is what I want. I'm not interested in pointless wars as nothing will result in it but never ending death. The urge to destroy ship-girls is still persistent as I'm an Abyssal after all.
"How does it feel to come back?" That woman asked me when I first woke up
I couldn't remember anything before I woke up. My memories are only limited within the other Abyssals and Princesses. Among the first one I came to known is a young one that always carries 'a toy' with her.
"Are you a Princess too?" That child excitedly asked me
"Prin...cess...?" I tilted my head in confusion
For some reason, I could barely feel anything. Did I ever had other emotions before? I couldn't remember anything that it felt like who I was before was entirely wiped out...
"She is..." A horned one with huge clawed hands answered
"Looks like another addition" A pale one with a side ponytail answered
"It's been a long time since a other one showed up" An elegant one with a mouth covering sighed
(I guess...they are Princesses too) I shrugged my shoulders
A moment has passed and the child suddenly tugged my sleeve. With eyes fu of wonder, she raised both of her hands presenting her toy.
"Do you want to play?" I guessed
"..." She nodded with a bright smile
Unlike the small one, the others looked...somewhat amused. It's like they expected something and got what they desired. What it is...is not my concern. The little one kept running around me while I held her favorite toy. Then suddenly, when I held up the black toy plane...
"...!" A vague scene of a plane flying under the sun flashed to my mind
Soon after, static scenes of heavy fire and explosions followed. There are people whom I don't recognized. I was there...I think...I'm not sure.
"Is there something wrong?" That woman asked
"It's nothing" I had to lie. I feel like I shouldn't easily trust her
"Are you sure about that?"
"I am" I knew it. She's the cunning type
Even with just the memory of falling beneath the ocean is as clear as day, I couldn't help but wonder...was I a different person before?
"A name...?"
Whenever I wander in the ocean, I keep seeing and hearing someone calling out a name. That someone is reaching its hand to me...calling out over and over again.
"Who am I?" I'm more than a Princess...there is something missing inside of me
War. And more war. The same battle kept playing over and over in my that it's becoming unbearable. I wanted it to stop. I wanted it to go away! The only way for it to go away is fill that missing piece...and so I left...
"A lot of things has happened" Refreshing my most recent memories is a bit unpleasant
Sooner or later, they will find me and force me to come back. Before that happens, I have to figure out what's the missing piece inside of my head.
"I like this. The light...the sea...the peace"
Where have I felt this sensation before? It seemed too familiar and impossible to ignore. This pleasant feeling of solitude...I like it...being left alone...
"Akagi..."
What was that? Why did that word suddenly crossed my mind? Is it a name...of someone I knew? My memories are blank before I woke up from the sinking darkness. Yet the sea seems to bring back something inside of me...that had been forgotten...something that had sunk to the abyss.
