It was the day. The day she turned fifteen . The day she finally had the freedom to swim up and look at those strangely fascinating creatures.
She was extremely excited, proud and nervous. "It was going to be a big day" she thought. Her mind and heart was full of to the brink.

She took extra time combing her hair and adorning them with alluring shells of vibrant colors. After she was done dressing up, she swum to the surface and was stunned by the beautiful sight of steadily moving waves. They looked lively and full of enthusiasm.

She looked up at the beautiful sun. She was stunned by its beauty. She didn't find any "flying fishes" though. The sky was clear. She decided to swim upto the shore.

Sitting on a rock by the shore, she opened her book absent-mindedly
and read......

She was awestruck. She had read this book numerous times and this stanza was her favorite one.

A strange flapping sound distracted her. She looked up to find a folk of "flying fishes". She was dumbstruck for a while and then her eyes lit up and she started laughing with joy. She had finally seen these amazing creatures her sisters talked about.

The birds flew away , she was again left alone. She looked over at the shore and found humans!! She held her breath as she slowly inspected them. They had the same upper body like mermaids but instead of a fins and fishtail as a lower body, they had "two stick" type of things. Those sticks looked weird to her and she loved weird things.

They seemed busy. They were talking hurriedly and were anxiously discussing about stuff.

Her eyes fell on a young man. He had black hair the color of coal,navy blue eyes , the mesmerizing color of deep ocean which seemed to hold numerous mysterious secrets . He seemed to be in his late teens.

She noticed how beautiful and full his lips were. They looked soft and inviting.

Feeling someone's eyes on him. He looked towards his left in confusion.

The moment their eyes locked.
Aven lost her breath.
