Pruno's first impression of the "sea" was: floating white red.
The glaring blood-red dyed the eyes of the newly hatched insect, making the larva, which was already the most powerful in this litter, become the top existence of the Zerg clan.
Blood-red eyes are the way the Blood-Striped Zerg use to judge the health and strength of their young. Pruno, who was born with deep red eyes, is undoubtedly the most talented and strongest young in the tribe.
But the Bloodline Clan abandoned him, including Pruno's own insect mother.
Because this larva ate its other companions in the mother insect's belly and was born directly from the egg. It has eyes all over its body, which makes the insects feel weird.
They thought he was an "alien" and a "monster".
So they abandoned their newborn cubs in the wilderness, with only broken insect eggs and dead ancestors to keep them company.
The newborn Pruno is still ignorant and lives alone in a wasteland full of broken shells.
Fortunately, this is the territory of the Blood-Striped Zerg, with no natural enemies, and the tender cubs survive by relying on rotten eggshells.
Every year, new broken eggs are thrown into the wilderness. The blood-marked adults come and go in a hurry, ignoring the larvae that are looking forward to it.
No worm took him back.
The larvae ate the lifeless eggs and thought.
No one will like him.
The larva had no idea how long it had been in the wasteland.
When he was sleepy, he would lean on the dead bloodworm corpses to fall asleep; when he was hungry, he would eat the broken insect eggs on the ground; when he was bored, he would chat with the eyes on his body.
But his brothers and sisters never responded to him.
Until one day, two tall figures, one black and one red, came to the wasteland, ready to settle down.
"Hey, why is there another kid here?"
The Zerg in a red robe grabbed the larva by the scruff of its neck, his face full of curiosity, and waved the larva in front of his lover as if he had discovered a new toy.
"Elfa, look! You bloodline cubs!"
Larva: So annoying... This adult Zerg...
The larva began to twist its body and struggle when it was picked up. While twisting its thin body, it accidentally met another pair of red vertical pupils.
There was no indifference or disgust in those eyes. They were just stunned for a moment, and then filled with tenderness and compassion.
The owner of those eyes reached out and took him in, allowing him to feel the warm embrace of an adult Zerg once again since his birth.
It turns out that the warmth I felt in the worm mother's belly was not an illusion.
The larva thought blankly.
The tall Zerg in a red robe reached out his hands and poked the eyeballs of the larvae one by one, making their eye sockets red.
"Was this kid abandoned because he was too stupid?"
The Zerg known as Elfa held the larva in one hand and raised the other. Under the larva's moist eyes, it stared...
Hit the black-haired Zerg hard on the head.
Black-haired Zerg: QAQ “Pain, pain, pain!”
Larva: QVQ "Gurgle..."
Well done!
Although the black-haired Zerg named Liuno looked unreliable, he and his lover Elfa built a palace in the wilderness with their larvae.
The larvae have a name and a home.
…………
Later, Pruno's impression of the "sea" came from his adoptive father's writings.
"ocean?"
Liuno carried the now-grown Pruno, who had even gained weight and was no longer skinny, on his shoulders and tilted his head to look at him:
"The sea isn't red. You're talking about the Sea of Blood, right? The real sea is blue, even deeper than the blue of the sky here."
"What is that like?" asked the still young Pruno.
Liuno paused, thought for a moment, and then described it to his adopted son with a meager vocabulary: "White waves, deep blue water, golden sand, the sun shining on the sea, shimmering like a sapphire."
Elfa, who was listening nearby, found it a little funny. He reached out and rubbed Pruno's head, saying, "When you stand by the sea, you will feel that the ocean is beautiful and gentle, as if it can accommodate everything."
The drought bug Liuno hummed beside him, "That's just the surface. Once you're drawn into the sea, you'll find its depths are even more beautiful, but also accompanied by turbulent undercurrents."
Pruno nodded, not quite understanding.
Gentle as Elpha, beautiful as the jewel that Leuno gave to Elpha, dangerous as Leuno.
He wanted to see the sea even more...
Liuno smiled and poked Pruno's eyes again: "When you come of age, I will take you out to see the sea."
Pruno nodded with sparkling eyes, then turned to complain, "Elfa~liono poked me in the eye again."
Riono: ...
“Ouch…it hurts…it hurts…”
…………
The first time Prune saw the real sea was in a photograph.
It's beautiful, but not as desirable as before.
Elfa, with a new hair accessory in her hair, rubbed her adopted son's head gently as always.
"The ocean on Planet Aquamarine is universally recognized as the most beautiful ocean in the universe. I'll take you there when I have time."
"good"
Pruno still nodded obediently.
…………
It seemed that he didn't have to wait until he became an adult to see the ocean inside the Zerg.
Pruno thought.
The moment Lan Huaili stepped into the classroom, Pruno felt that the sea was coming towards him.
Blue and white.
It perfectly fits the image of the sea in Pruno's heart.
The moment the other person's blue eyes looked at him, Pruno closed his eyes tightly, leaving only a few slits.
