/Dobby story part 27/ Back in the unnamed village, Dobby asked the people about the sea. At first, no one would answer. They turned their eyes away, busying themselves with chores that did not matter. Their silence was heavier than words. Finally, he find an old fisherman near the shore. He's bald and his hands rough from rope and salt. He did not look at Dobby, only at the fishing rod in his hand. “There is an island,” he muttered. “Stone and fog, nothing more. No one lives there. Some call it the place where light never dies.” Dobby’s tail twitched. He wanted to ask more, but the man raised a shaking hand as if to forbid him. “Do not go. Many who rowed there never returned. The sea hides more than it shows.” That night, Dobby lay awake under a tree at the edge of the village. The fisherman’s words and the boy’s old warning tangled in his mind: “If you keep looking, the darkness will find you.” He stared at the faint glow of the lighthouse across the water. It seemed to breathe with its own life. When the first light of dawn touched the horizon, Dobby’s decision was made. He padded down to the shore, where a small weathered boat rested. Its wood was cracked but steady, tied to a post with a fraying rope. He climbed in, paws trembling slightly. The boat rocked, then steadied. He untied the rope, pushed off, and the sand fell away. The sea opened before him, endless, uncertain. The waves carried him toward the nameless island, where the lighthouse waited with its hidden truth. And though fear gnawed at him, Dobby’s eyes shone with quiet resolve. #SentientAGI @SentientAGI @smoothasfkk @hieu06730313
