The Ocean's Waves

Chapter 3

So just to let you guys know, my writing style may be a little bit different since those past chapters were written... probably 3 years ago :')

~Start~

"Daddy... me and Void are sleepy...." Null mumbled and Void yawned, effectively proving his statement.

"jUsT a LiTtLe BiT lOnGeR..." Error gave the two boys a strained smile as he pushed himself to swim a little bit faster.

The trio of Sirens had been on the move ever since that weird interaction with the bad sans' pirates, mainly so they don't end up getting caught and captured. While Error did really love his family, he didn't know how this version would act and did not want to risk it. Even more so now that he has kids now.

His travel across the sea floor was very educational to him, however. Seeing and experiencing the food chain was aweing. To Error, the human food chain was boring and repetitive, but in the sea, things become a lot more interesting. 

So far, Error has been chased by a shark, fed off of by a couple of guppies, and fiercely stared at by a couple of traveling Mers-monsters. A Jerry, Monster Kid and no-doubt a Heats Flamesman. All around the same age and seem to be in their teen years.

The Jerry here looked a lot more like a Jellyfish and had a faint blueish-gray glow to him. Monster Kid had a fish tail like Error but was more themed towards a Clownfish. Heats was a bit trickier to figure out. If Error had to guess, Heats was a Red Betta Fish. The 'flames' on his body turned out to be the fins constantly moving around.

Error should really thank Blue for the multitude of sea life books he randomly dumped on him one day.

That interaction was an adventure by itself.

Much to Error's immediate surprise, the teens were a lot more friendly than he thought they would be. Flashes of the fear and crying faces of the younger versions of them crossed Error's mind before he shook them away.

He wasn't too surprised by the images his mind generously supplied him. Coming from a universe with the load trauma he had would do that to him. Yes, he does have an acute awareness of the trauma he holds and yes, he is pushing it aside when he really shouldn't. To Error, there are deeper matters to attend to rather than his personal problems. Namely ones called Null, Void, and Shelter.

The Mers told Error of the Aboriginal Palace, which was where they were currently heading towards. As it turns out, the Palace was only a few more miles ahead of the group.

After hearing of how Error wanted to find a place to settle down, they offered to let him tag along with them. Apparently, the reason why they were out here is because they wandered too far from their fieldtrip supervisor and now have to swim all the way back to the Kingdom. 

Internally, Error scoffed at the carelessness of the adults.

While group messed around and chatted with each other, Error looked around a noticed a difference among the wildlife. There were a lot less predators in the area, the ones that were swimming around made a point not to come near them at all. The nature around seemed to shine brighter as they passed.

Error was just about to ask about the strange difference when he noticed the bottom of a very familiar ship heading in their direction.

"jUsT tO wArN yOu NoW, tHeRe WeRe A gAnG oF pIrAtEs-" Error, thinking it would be common news based on what the codes told him, casually told them.

Imagine his surprise when they all whipped around, pale-faced. "Did any of them see you?! Better yet, did any of them look like crazy murders or had black slime for a body!?"
