[Training] fall falls away

Thalassa

Sometimes you have to
burn yourself to the ground

It'd been a while since she'd found herself in the Climb, but the easy access from the Hollowed Grounds made it a simple trip, transporting her directly into the Burrows. And its proximity to Torchline made it the perfect place for her to meet Hadama for their sparring session. She may have also had the ulterior motive to visit Dygra's shrine, and this just happened to make the trip shorter for her. On the downside that gave her less time to figure out what her request would be. Asta had given her plenty to think about (perhaps too much), making it all the more complicated. 

Thal pushed aside the grandiose thoughts for now, preparing herself for the coming match. She removed her daggers, making sure their blades were sharp and ready to strike against the Mer King. They reflected the blood red liquid of the waterfall behind her as she sat on a nearby stone to wait patiently for him to arrive.

before you can rise
like a phoenix from the ashes.
