7#A Crinkle in Time: Eyes of the elders

???'s POV

Is it almost ready yet?” whined someone in a black hoodie “Just shut up and drink it” they shoved the drink down their throat. They coughed “My mouth it…burns…..” then suddenly they transformed into creature. "It's really works!" "Ugh.. my head I feel like I can't breathe…" the room faded into darkness before a bright light in the distance. They kept on walking, beautiful trees surrounded the area up ahead was a bridge, they hesitated about crossing the bridge, "Should I do it or not?" They decided to cross the bridge, as they stepped onto the bridge they felt bubbles swirling around them. "What is this place… ?" One of the bubbles stared at them "This is the place where the all monsters like yourself came from…" A place where I came from… ? "I don't quite understand what you mean by that and how can you talk aren't you a bubble..?" The bubble has disappeared, then appearing again into a human with a tail and strange markings. "What exactly are you?" The bubble giggled "Exactly what you are" What I am? "Can you please just tell me?" The bubble had grabbed their hand. "Jump into the water" the bubble said "What are you crazy I could drown!" they screamed "Psh drown you're really funny, you reliazed that you're not human anymore right?" They looked at themselves. Claws, Tail, sharp teeth, ears "Okay okay I see your point but seriously I could drown!" "You won't you're a water creature your immune to water, there's many creatures like you fire, light darkness etc" "I'm sorry what I'm a water monster how is that even possible?" Then they remembered something that potion…  “My mouth it…burns…..” It's really works!" "Ugh.. my head I feel like I can't breathe…"  It turned me into water creature… "Helloooooooooo  earth to water monster did you hear what I just said hellooooooooo why aren't you responding!?" "Huh oh sorry I was uh.. thinking what did you say?"  They sighed "I said are you ready or not?" "Yea I'm ready I guess… " they mumbled "Great let's go! they grabbed their hand pulling them towards the bridge, jumping into the water, undreathe the water, they transform into their human self again. "Remember how you asked what I was" "Yea I remember that and you still haven't told me" they looked anyyoned at them. "You're an half arrtiue" "An arrtiue… yes do you know anyone in your family who was an arrtiue?" "No I don't know… because I never met my family" "I see.. well do you know what an ancient is?"  An ancient wait… isn't that what that Melina was… ?  "Yes I do.. " "Let's go to the temple" They said as both of them swam farther away, a creature had smiled. It's you…you're finally here…. a creature with red markings on their face and tail. Inside the temple there was a queen who was swimming back and forth, she looked really nervous about something her dark blue eyes shimmering with hope as they swam towards her "Quinn your here I was worried something bad had happened to you!" she hugged Quinn "Quinn who is this?" The queen stared at them "This is uh… " Quinn turned towards them looking confused. "You brought a someone here and you don't know what their name is?" The queen looked at Quinn she sighed "I'm Altran a human well… until I got transformed into a water creature" The queen had swam toward Altran.  "Welcome to the temple of Makisa this is the temple of all water creatures come I want to show you something" The queen took Quinn and Altran to library every shelf had different color books. The queen approached a golden book that was chained with 2 locks on it. "Why is there locks on a golden book?" "This book is very important, do not touch it, do you understand?" The queen turned around looking at Altran giving them a death stare. Okay queeny, jeez she's really overprotective about this golden book can she please just stop looking at me like that's it's creeping me out…  "My queen I don't mean to be rude but can you not stare at Altran they looks scared" The queen stop looking at me and instead had taken my head we swam far away leaving Quinn, "Quinn keep up your sister is waiting for us" Sister Quinn had a sister wait.. was the queen Quinn's daughter!? Altran was so confused. Finally we arrived, there were two rooms. The queen knocked onto one of the door's which had a  into the door. When we entered the room, there was a girl who was fixing her short blue hair which two crabs were holding for her. "Adea we are here" Adea turned her head "I didn't realize you were bringing her with us Queen" "Adea she's your sister why don't you still accept that? " "It's rather simple, Queen, she's my half sister half!" Adea screamed as her went back to fixing her hair. "Adea stop!" Adea didn't listen the Queen sighed, swimming towards Adea's bed, Quinn grabbed my hand, The queen yelled at Adea, then something weird happened… the room turned black except for the queen. She was red. There were flashing lights then everything went back to normal. The queen had swam away from Adea. "Quinn did you see that?" I asked wondering if Quinn also saw it too. "See what?" Quinn gave me a confused expression. So she didn't see it… I swear I wasn't going crazy, only I saw it. I wonder if it was because of the power of being a half arrtiue…  The two had exchanged their goodbyes before Quinn had swam off, Altran hesitated whether she should follow the queen, Quinn or stay with Adea. Finally they had made up their decision they would follow the queen, Altran had swam after the queen, they knew they had to be quiet, and sneaky.. The queen was rather a fast swimmer she swam really fast it was hard to keep up with her, Altran had saw her enter the room, I wonder why she's going into that room… Altran had swam after her, peeking behind the room, The queen was doing something it was hard to see though. Then something unexpected happened, The queen's tail had transformed into a shark's tail, The queen is a shark..!? Altran had swam away, The queen could sense that someone was there and swam away. She rushed towards Altran had grabbed their hand "You aren't going to off the hook that easily" She said with a death stare, she threw Altran inside the room, locking the door behind her. "This is your first warning" The queen said as she was opening an secret door, "What is this place let me out of here!" There was a muptile shelves of jars filled with other creatures most of them got eaten or died due to being suffocated in a jar for so long. In the center of the room there was a pot with a stick that hung over a fire. "This place is where creatures like you are going to live here, most of these creatures are my food support" Food support… she's eating other creatures!?  Using some sort of magic The queen turned Altran small, she had grabbed a jar, throwing them into the jar then closing it tightly shut. "I'll be back later you can't espaused this place or the jars they have a magical barrier that only I can break, no one of your water powers will work" The queen had swam away after she had left, Altran looked around each shelf was labed, and jars. Altran heard someone whispering "Psst.. over here" Altran turned to see a human with strange marks. "What element are you?" asked the human "Water you?" "Wind you, shouldn't have followed the queen here… " "Wait you knew?" "Yea we all did, Quinn would find us and bring us to her mother, Quinn doesn't know about this secret that The queen's been keeping" Quinn… doesn't know at all… that's terrible…  "Do you know why she does this?" The human with strange marks shrugged "None of us do" "The queen told me about eating other creatures is that true?" The human with strange marks face's had darkened "It's true… " Altran was disgusted, that was so cruel and gross….Altran had sat down falling asleep, the jar was really uncomfortable but with a lot of willpower Altran got through it. I guess this is my new life now… how great… they thought to themself, hoping that they could get out somehow
