For the last century, they've been hiding. Hidin...
I stretched my arms above my head, the warm sun beating down on my skin as I gazed out at the tranquil lake. Lady Nera's Canoe Training class was one of my favorite parts of the day at Valencia Academy. Not only did I get to spend time near the water, but I also got to indulge in some friendly banter with our lovely instructor.
I dove into the lake. Slicing through the water with ease, my demigod strength propelled me forward. The water sprites appeared in front of me.
I swam deeper, the water sprites - tiny, mischievous creatures with shimmering scales and playful giggles - darted around me, fascinated by my presence. They tickled my skin, their whispers echoing in my mind, sharing tales of ancient civilizations and hidden treasures. I laughed, feeling carefree and alive, my worries washed away by the soothing waters.
I broke the surface, laughing as I tossed my head back, sending droplets of water flying in all directions. Lady Nera's shrill cry pierced the air, "Qiqi, what do you think you're doing?! You know better than to swim in the lake without permission!"
I just grinned, treading water as I called back, "I'm just taking a dip my lady!"
Lady Nera's eyes narrowed, her hands planted on her hips. "You know better than to swim in the lake without permission, especially with sprites around! You're a demigod, not an aquatic creature!"
I chuckled, feeling a thrill of mischief. "Ah, but I'm Poseidon's daughter, remember? The sea god's blood runs through my veins. A little lake water won't hurt me, I was practically born to swim everywhere."
Lady Nera's face turned a lovely shade of crimson as she launched into a diatribe in Greek, her words a mix of scolding and exasperation. Some of my classmates stared, wide-eyed, as if I'd committed a heinous crime. I just shrugged, unfazed.
As I swam back to shore, the water sprites clustered around me, their whispers growing softer, their scales shimmering in farewell.
As I emerged from the water, I felt the sun's warmth on my skin, and before Lady Nera could even take a step towards me, I was dry and dripping with confidence. My instructor's rant continued, her words flying rapid-fire as she berated me for my recklessness.
"You know what," she said, finally, "class is dismissed. Get out of my sight, all of you!"
