With the last pirate having escaped Esperia allowed her body to slide down onto one of the seats, a gentle sigh escaping from her mouth. It was odd, despite the fact she did both a good thing and a bad thing at the same time, she felt somewhat empty toward both. She couldn't say which one was more beneficial, but if she had to make a guess, she would say a part of her was glad that the pirates would no longer terrorize the people of Hargeon for a while. Of course, how long remained to be seen, after all pirates weren't exactly the smartest people in the world from what she had heard and experienced so far.
Still, for the time being, she had done what she had come here to do, it would soon be time for her to travel to the first destination she had in mind: The Sieghart Mountains. She wasn't certain what she would find there, but according to Morrigan there would be something of great interest to her there. Making her way out of the cove Esperia thought about one more thing, a final look at the port before she would truly leave it behind. Whether it was nostalgia or something else, she did consider Hargeon akin to her home for the past few years, so leaving it now? It felt kinda odd, not that she was still doubtful or unsure of her decision. No, she had long chosen to walk this path that she had decided on herself.
Still, it was odd how despite the fact she loved the scenery of Hargeon, she felt oddly calm as she looked at it from afar, eerily calm even. But either way, she had made her choice, and so she turned her back toward the port and started to walk away.
She would wait till she had left the port far enough behind her before calling upon the help of a loyal friend of her, a certain white wyrm that would help her reach the mountains.
"You changed a little Esperia." Morrigan muttered softly, leading Esperia to turn toward her and smile softly. "Have I?" The spirit nodded her head firmly in response. "In a way you have grown stronger, colder and firmer, I like it~"
He words earned a brief chuckle from Esperia who merely shook her head, seemingly pondering about what the future might hold for her.
So far she knew literally nothing about the Sieghart Mountains, after all she had never been there before, but it seemed there was a hidden fount of power there, something of great interest to Morrigan who was trying to convince her to go there. But for what reason? What purpose did Morrigan have to make that suggestion? Was it merely the pursuit of power? Or perhaps it was another scheme of hers. Esperia wasn't sure, but in all honesty, she felt mildly excited at the idea of seeing the different scenery, taking in all the sights and learning about the people there. To her this knowledge started to become more fascinating by the day, and she didn't exactly understand why. Some might say it was a silly notion: the desire to understand everything, to 'know' everything. Others might say that it was a greedy ambition to have. But Esperia had understood by now that she was becoming a greedy and selfish person. In the end, there was a reason why she was starting to be referred to as 'The Witch of Greed', rather than Asmodeus' vessel, and honestly? She was kind of starting to like it...
