[Vereena]
They say coming back home is the best feeling that one could ever feel especially when you've been away for some time. If there is something that I am feeling right now, it is anything but joy. Not even a drop of happiness upon seeing a familiar place burgeoning into my line of sight.
Even at this distance, we haven't even docked into the port, yet I could already see the crowd gathering at the berth. But I know none of them was a real concern of me, save from the few. Perhaps those who are curious about what has become of me after being held as a 'captive' by pirates.
"See that, Vereena? A lot of people are waiting for your arrival. You have been missed terribly around here," remarked my father falling to a halt right next to me in the ship's bow. Yet I have no enthusiasm to indulge in any conversation with anyone.
