the eye as they had started out. That's when the water along with other dark shadows
and voices started to come after me more intensively.” “Wait? So you have heard our
voices before?” She asked.
“Well I suppose you could say that. I’ve always felt at home here in the sea and have
always been drawn to water. Some of the voices were familiar growing up but many
were not. I met some later on in my teenly adulthood. But it was all still new to me. I
had no idea what I was getting myself into. And no teacher to show me." Chellejary said.
Neefrena thought on it but continued to hear the rest of Chellejary’s story.
“There was really no chatter of the world below in the deep blue. Or any of your

The last few years I started hearing the Siren call. I thought it was just my mind
playing tricks on me. It has been rare for me to ever come out to the water or enjoy it
long enough when I have gone. But hanging with my girls lately that’s kinda how I
ended up here in the oceans… Sounds a bit fishy I know. But the waters have been
calling me for years. And now they are the strongest they’ve ever been calling me,
pulling me. It must be for a reason. Even the tide comes in high and tries to pull me out
with it, each wave higher and stronger than the last pulling me out. If the Ocean and
those who dwell in it are endangered then I must stay and fight. They are much a part
of my family as the humans. My girls feel the same and that is why we are here. We
