In doing so they noticed it got harder to swim. And they were starting to lose their
breath. The girls tried many times to swim up to the surface for air. An each time big
tide waves would crash over knocking them back down deeper and deeper into the ocean
bed. On one thundering wave it knocked the wind clear out of Chellejary. She was
stund and floated lifelessly in the water. Sireinamelosjhara was thrown to the sea bed
hitting her head on one of the Coral reef sea sponges. It had quite a bit of bushels
branched out afterwards. Colshios ez heart started to race and she couldn't hold her
breath for much longer.
When she gasped for air all she could manage was heaping golps of the saltwater
rushing into her lungs. It burned like acid. As she was taking what seemed to be her last
few moments of life she saw a black shadow appear from the corner of her eye. It came
towards her as her vision faded. She saw a human like head with long flowing hair and
a serpent-like lower half. Then everything went black.
The girls awoke gasping for air. As Colshios caughed the rest of the seawater out
of her body. Sirenamelosjhara and her looked around frantically. “Where are we?” they
asked in a low quiet tone. Faint echoed dripping sounds rang around them. They were
not in water but they weren’t quite near or on any beach on shore either. “I hope you
three are well.” A caved voice echoed. It was slow and calm almost in an ancient
sounding tone. The girls looked around but saw nothing. A lady looking face appeared
from one of the sides of the wall near the ceiling. She dropped down to the floor and
from the waist down it looked like a smoky metallic purple with a shimmer of blackgray
fog. The being looked to have almost holographic legs. As the lady came closer to them.
The illusion dissipated.
“Okay where are we? And who the sea cucumbers are you?” Sireinamelosjhara asked.
To be honest it was kinda rude how she expressed it to the, whatever they were. “I
should be asking you three the same question. How is it that you managed to make it
this far out into our reefs? And pass through our mermagic barrier? You are not of
merborn descent so how is it that you came to be this far out in our deepest parts of the
ocean? A human of your kind has ever been able to dive. Let alone survive this far down
without air. “
