Author's note: This is from Seraphina's point of view

I looked at the flower petals covering the stairs that spiraled to the upper deck.
Maybe at the end of this flowery path I will find out what the countdown was about, and I DEFINITELY wanted to know why was I in the middle of the sea, alone, on a luxurious boat?
I took the first step up, and I truly hoped I won't see a masked man with a machete on the upper deck.
Ah, what if he is a naked man with a machete?
'Chill, Serina. Masked or naked, you can just blow him off the deck.', I reassured myself as I made my way up. 'And if he gets too close, just treat him as a meal and drain his vitality away.' Now, this gave me even more confidence that I can handle myself.
I allowed my imagination to go crazy and for a minute I completely forgot that I'm immortal with powers and that Mitch brought me here to meet with Duke but… where is Duke?
