Author's POV
As Eva and Allie were watching the unusual behaviour of the MizuDobutsu, something unexpected happened. The orca itself carried Thomas onto its back, although Thomas was facing its tail.
Thomas - Woah, so you finally accept me? Well, it didn't take longer than 5 minutes so I forgive you, now then shall we do some cool tricks?
The orca began riding the waves once Thomas gave the signal. They cut through the water like a knife cutting through butter, so smooth and graceful that even Allie and Eva were captivated by their performance. The two seemed like they already knew each other for ages.
Eva - This is the first time I have seen such a strong bond between the rider and its companion and he-
Allie - *with dreamy eyes* isn't even one of us! I think I am falling for him.
Eva - Yeah....wait...WHAT?! You can't just fall for anyone like that, so soon!
Allie - I know but just look at him, it's like he belongs with the Underwaters, I don't think any Lander's surfing would beat his skills.
Eva - hmmm, yeah.
"Wow that was fantastic Kurohoshi!" said Thomas to his companion while the orca swam in circles around him.
Eva - Kurohoshi?
Thomas - Yeah that's what I decided to name him, it translates to black star.
Allie - cool name but what's the reason behind it?
Thomas - Don't know, it just came to my mind and he loves it so no problem.
Eva - well you proved that animals love you and you have pretty good skills to ride him, so I guess he is yours.
Thomas - you hear that buddy, we are partners *hugs Kurohoshi*
Kurohoshi sings a sweet melody and goes into the deep ocean along with Blu.
Thomas, Eva and Allie continue their tour and soon they reach a grand store that sells all kinds of things from rings and necklaces to weapons. Allie picks up new gear for her companion, and Evangeline goes off to pick up a gem to complete her collection of rare items from the Landers while Thomas wanders around in the accessories section. As he observes the variety of options to choose from something shines and he feels nostalgic. Suddenly he remembers something....his past? whatever it was, it was very brief and hazy for Thomas to understand. The necklace drew Thomas towards itself and what he saw was something odd. His name was written on it but then he rubbed a bit of the dust and saw the last name...
Thomas - Alan..ciel, Alanciel, Thomas Alanciel.
The necklace had this name carved onto it with a turquoise-coloured gem and intricate designs. He decided to take this as a souvenir, it was practically calling him so he thought why not?
Soon after, it was night and they split up. Allie went back to the Navblu estate and Thomas and Eva went back to the royal palace.
Thomas - Thank you for the wonderful tour, Eva, OH, wait no I mean.....ummm--
Eva *giggles* You can call me Eva it's cool.
Thomas - *blush* Thanks, Good night....Eva
Eva - Good night....hmmm
Thomas - what's wrong?
Eva - nothing just wondering what your nickname could be, hehe
Thomas - OH, hahahahaha, you are really weird
Eva - Hey! Weird? says the one who bonded so quickly with a MizuDobutsu, became companions, gave a name without meaning and did those moves that are used in battles!
Thomas - hahaha, ok ok, point taken. See you tomorrow
Eva - Good night, sleep well, see ya! *closes the door*
Thomas's POV
I went to lie on my fluffy cloud-like bed when something poked my collarbones. It was the necklace. What was that sudden thought? a premonition or a memory... *looking at the necklace* Thomas Alanciel, AHHHHH my stomach!
*lifts his shirt* WHAT IS THIS? A scar? Since when did I have a scar on the left side of my stomach, and why is it hurting?! Is it something to do with my accident? But it wasn't there two days ago and not even before the accident.
*scar starts to burn and becomes red* OUCHH, WHAT EVEN?! Huh? the necklace? What's it doing here? Oh? now it's not burning, could it be....
*takes the necklace closer to the scar and the scar starts becoming red*
*hisses in pain* Is the scar resonating with the necklace?? how? ugh, nevermind I'm just too tired to figure it out now. I'll do it tomorrow, maybe the scar might even go away and this all was just a dream. Yeah that's right this is just a dream, huh must be tired from all the riding. Let's go to sleep, mister.
*Necklace glows*
