Floating in the sky, I use my power source in both my hands to navigate myself back onto the grounds again. Okoye watches as I float down from the air and my balls of light disappear from my hands.

"Seems like you are catching onto your powers now much easier." She says and I smile.

"I think so. It doesn't feel so foreign to me anymore." Okoye whistles quickly and it pierces through the air, signaling me to catch the spear she throws at me with fast reflexes.

"Impressive." She says and I spin the spear in my hand and bang it to the floor twice in hopes it makes the loud banging sound and I look up at Okoye in question.

"That only works in the palace since its all vibranium." She laughs and I chuckle and throw her the spear back.

"Are you ready to meet Shuri today?" She asks and I nod.

"I think so. I just hope she's more willing to open up about her experience in talokan. " Okoye nods.

"I agree, she seems like the best person to talk to since, you have both been down there. You will both have something to connect too."

"I hope so. Lets just pray that it goes well, and that she understands why I need to take the herb."

"Agreed."

I was craving the ocean.

The smell of salt invades my senses as I float above the waters. I somehow managed to float up the river and make it pass the boarders.

I slowly sink myself into the ocean letting my body dip down fully. As I swim underwater my speed accelerates and I find myself looking for the ocean current to talokan.

I suddenly stop myself as I approach the current.

I cant go.

I just know I cant.

As much as I missed Namor, I couldn't see him. I turn back around and decide to explore the ocean floors admiring the creatures and plants that lived there.

Floating ontop of the water I look up at the sun. It beams brightly and I feel my skin peeling showing that I am slowly starting to get a tan.

To see and be apart of the ocean this way is really magically. I could never get tired of this. I close my eyes and I find myself drifting into a state of relaxation.

I start to feel delirious as I drift off into a slumber. I suddenly feel shade blocking the sun, and dimming from the light of the sun cover my face. I shrug my shoulders and continue to relax.

its probably just a bird or something.

I flutter my eyes open but feel fuzzy and my vision is blurry. I see a figure in my vision. A very familiar one. As my vision clears the face of Namor comes into view. I gasp and sit up looking around to see were on a a shore of a beach.

"Namor?" I say surprised and rub my eye.

"Hello, beautiful." He says and I cover my mouth to yawn and talk "What- How did you find me?" I ask stretching and he chuckles at me. " I was searching the area, and saw you there passed out ontop of the ocean waters."

Oh.

"Oh? oh my gosh I passed out there. " I say and look down in frustration. He laughs and caress my chin and lifts it up to look at him in the eye. "Its okay, that's actually quite normal among talokans and humans too."
