Bloodette was at the peak of the realms of the world before she was sealed epoch ego and had awakened quite recently. Though she had lost all her strength and was far away from reaching the power of her past self, she still was confident her will was as strong as her past version. But seeing how she was easily seduced by the sense of the river of souls to let go of her mortal attachments, Bloodette started to doubt that her will was not as strong as she thought or the river of soul was too strong. After all, it was able to incarcerate all the powerful souls.

Bloodette realized that her idea of peeking at the river of souls was stupid, and it may seduce her to willingly give up on living and join the dead. Yet her footsteps did not stop from reaching the end of the bloodline bridge to peek at the river of souls. Because if she were to give up just because of a bit of scare, then she wouldn't be the Blood supreme who was sealed by the dungeon seal. It is her nature to be courageous and reckless, similar to how it is in the rat's nature to run to its hole at the sight of trouble.

This time Bloodette did not carelessly try to explore the other end of the Bloodline Bridge to sense the river of the soul, not allowing it to influence her. It was her reckless use of her mental strength to probe ahead that caused her to fall into the seduction of the river of soul earlier. Therefore having learned from her mistake and knowing what the river of the soul is capable of this time, Bloodette guarded her mind against any outside influence as walk across the bloodline bridge.

Finally, Bloodette reached her destination, the other end of the Bloodline Bridge. The river of souls was just a few steps away from her. Right now, most of Bloodette's senses were closed or reduced to reduce the influence of the river of soul. While Bloodette got near to the other end of the bloodline bridge, just guarding her mind was no longer enough to escape the influence of the river of souls. Closer she got to the other end of the bridge, the river of souls' influence became more apparent and dominant. Therefore Bloodette had no choice but to start limiting the range of her senses and then finally shut off some of the unrequired senses. Only by doing this was Bloodette able to reach the end of the bloodline bridge where the entrance to the river of souls lay.

Bloodette's curiosity and her thirst for adventure had brought her here despite all the risks and threats she faced on her way over. She did not give in to the obstacles on her path and instead ran over them with her courageous heart. But now, standing in front of her was the fruit of her hardship, but taking this fruit was not an easy task as this fruit was surrounded by thorns of its own.

Bloodette was perplexed. Having crossed to the end of the bridge, she knew how strong the influence of the river of soul was on the living. The mere sense of the river of the souls was too much for her to handle. Does she need to take the risk to peek directly into the river of souls? But leaving without achieving the purpose of her hard work to get here also did not sit right with her. From between these two thoughts, Bloodette did not know what she should do.

But one thing was clear to Bloodette: if today she were to back down because of the possible risk and threat she could face, then she would regret it for the rest of her imprisoned life. Bloodette had an adventurous bone in her that ached every second she spent incarcerated in the dungeon seal. Taking a peek into the river of the soul is the first adventure Bloodette had participated in after awakening from her slumber, and leaving it halfway did feel right to her. Keeping the sentiments aside, Bloodette did not know whether she would get a similar opportunity again. If she left here, what awaited her were dull days in the dungeon seal or Cortney's innate seal.

After long contemplation, Bloodette decided to continue with her adventure to peek at the river of souls as the living. How many people get a chance to peek at the River of souls? Nearly none. This was once in a lifetime opportunity for Bloodette, and her adventurous heart will not let go of it. Following her heart, Bloodette took the last few steps to stand at the edge of the bloodline bridge.

Before standing at the edge of the bridge, Bloodette had taken some precautionary measures to face the influence of the river of souls as she peeks at it. Bloodette could only hope that these measures were enough for her to resist the power of the river of souls.

As Bloodette was double-checking her calculations about facing the influence of the river of souls, unknowingly, she slowly walked to the edge of the bridge. Step by step Bloodette neared the boundary of the bridge, but she did not seem to realize that she was already moving closer to her demise. Bloodette had no chance to resist or struggle as to how one can struggle or resist against something they have no awareness of. That was Bloodette's dilemma right now. She was not aware that she had already fallen prey to the power of the river of souls and was walking straight into the arms of death.

Bloodette had finally achieved her goal, having stood at the edge of the bridge. The river of soul was right in front of her, but unfortunately, she did not have any awareness to peek at the sight she was planning to.. One step more, and she will become a part of that sight.
