 The mournful song echoed through the sea as the Titan of Strife took up the fight against the black tide. And for the first time, Helektra rose from the dark waters with joy in her heart...
-She adorned her face with pearls. Her tail split into legs. The seafoam on her body became a gown. The crashing tide no longer roared over her head, but whimpered beneath her feet.\\

 Seabirds cried overhead in chilling tones. The waves stilled for a moment, then rolled away again.\\
 As if the dream had popped like a bubble and never truly existed.\\

 ==== Character Story: Part IV ====
+She had once believed the Flame-Chase was the eternal celebration she had always searched for.\\
+But as the journey wore on and more was lost, even that shining light shattered like sea foam.
+She had been the Imperator's sharpest blade, her sword always flowing with blood. But when the Imperator's molten gold blood dripped onto her fingertips, she suddenly felt herself sinking again back into that lonely, silent sea.\\
+//"Heh, why... did I snuff out the very flame I swam toward with my own hand..."//\\
+For a thousand painful years, she had fled from those dazzling bubbles of memory, but now those long-burst fragments clung to her like swaying seaweed, impossible to shake loose.
+//"Click."//\\
+A chess piece lands on the board. Despite her perfect composure, the sovereign's crown of flames reveals what she won't, dancing between serenity and fierce intensity.\\
+//"I never learned how to play."\\
+"Then I'll teach you."//\\
+She picks up a piece with unpracticed fingers. Just another battleground, she thinks to herself.
+//"Click."//\\
+Suddenly, vibrant blue flames warm the air around her like hot springs. She moves chess pieces without much thought and asks:\\
+//"If they're bound to disappear from the board, why bother moving forward at all?"//
+//"Click."//\\
+The sovereign takes a sip of honey brew, stretches her arms with satisfaction, and sighs with pleasure:\\
+//"Isn't the journey forward fulfilling enough on its own?"//\\
+...
+After a millennium of waiting, she forged new paths for the Flame Chase, though she knew they wouldn't be the final destination.\\
+//"What a fish truly needs is simply a sea to call home..."//\\
+As a fragment of her memories unfolds, she walks toward clear ocean waters.
+//♫ Pop ♫, ♫ Fizz ♫, ♫ Splash ♫...// Bubbles of every color mirror bygone years, forming and bursting, bursting and forming.\\
+//"The ocean's dearest, do you have a wish?"\\
+"Hysilens, where are you headed?"\\
+"Dux Gladiorum, what do you seek?"//\\
+...\\
+Homeland, revelry, the Flame-Chase... each one brilliant in her life, yet all quickly fizzing out like transient foam... Only a sigh lingers across the sky.\\
+From the beginning till the end, this was all she had, in both the mortal realm and ocean depths, nothing but the fleeting traces of bubbles.
+//"But still... how beautiful they are..."//
+//"♫...♫"\\
+"♫...♫"\\
+"♫...♫//
+The dawn of Amphoreus approaches. Before the final bubble bursts, she smiles, as if she has already sung everything her heart had to express beyond words.
