"Contract sealing completed."
The young girl's index finger flicked in the air, and the writing fell like flowing light, gently inscribing the final stroke of her name.
Her voice was clear, without deliberately raising the volume, yet it seemed to penetrate layers of water pressure, reaching the unknown depths.
"—Oh Water Spirit, answer my call."
What she spoke sounded like humankind's universal language, yet not any existing language.
It was composed of the young girl's tone, her will, her soul—unique things in this world, forming her own high-level language.
—Life Spirit Language.
As life, equal to me; as soul, subject to my command.
The Life Spirit Language echoed across sea and sky, restoring the dim jade to radiance.
A clear blue brilliance like shallow sea illuminated the night sky, not dazzling, yet clear enough to make one hold their breath.
