>>5449319>>5449748>>5449836Let’s take things slowly.
She needs to conserve her strength for getting the third and first fragment.
She and Guang cling onto the Wan, the serpent with multiple gold accessories as they roam the sea floor. The adornments serve as decent anchor points for both her and her horse.
The depths of the Great Sorrow sector is filled with decayed wooden structures and fleets of rusted metallic lotuses.
Made from surplus material from the Crusher sector that proved inefficient at large scale torture, and were abandoned several hundred years ago.

It will only be a matter of time before the wardens drag her back here again.
But it doesn’t matter anymore.
Just being part of this race was exciting enough.
That rush when evading the mountain of bones.
The feeling of wing rushing past her as her horse gallops across giant lily pads.
A couple days or months of happiness is infinitely better than a lifetime of monotony.
The experience of the race still lingers in her mind, reawakening something in her mind.

>>Her desire to be with others She didn’t have many close friends in her old life, but made a consistent effort to befriend and understand others.
By reawakening this desire, Xil will become more proficient at telepathy, and able vaguely sense the emotions or thoughts of others.
>>Her desire to best othersXil have defeated countless foes in her old life, learning and refining their methods in achieving victory in combat.
To have that drive again would allow her to quickly learn from others and give herself more options when responding to attacks.
>>Her desire to not care about others beyond necessary All that matters are her horse and the adventures she has alongside him.
To have such a mindset again would allow her to see through deception and shrug off intimidation attempts.
