The weight of Iris' robes pulled her down deeper into the water, she started to panic, because the deeper she went more air escaped from her lungs. She then having no choice took a deep breath expecting the water to fill up her lungs, but what came in was air. Iris opened her eyes and saw Estel and Marina smiling at her. "How?" Said Iris, looking surprised and shocked at the fact that she was able to see, breath and speak perfectly underwater.
"That's mermaid magic!" Replied Marina with a little dance. Then she noticed Iris' robes weighing her down, " This should help you," said Marina touching Iris' shoulder making her clothes change into a red tail which then continued up to her chest by a number of scales and shells. Her hair was left out but had a red shell holding her hair to the side. Iris loved her look and so did Estel but he kept quiet. Ocean also changed Estel's outfit into a green merman tail with gold embroidery around his strong manly arms. Iris did her best not to stare at his handsomeness.
Then Ocean said, " Alright we should be good to go!" As he started to swim off. Estel followed behind already knowing how to work his tail, while Iris on the other hand got help from Marina. They kept swimming until they reached an underwater city full of merpeople swimming to get to their destinations. Ocean lead them to the Palace covered in gold with various shells and jewels. Then Ocean said "We just need to stop by for supplies because the farther we go the more dangerous the waters are."
Then Iris remembered about Steven. 'Oh no he's probably soaking and drenched in all this water,' Iris thought in her head, but when she went to check her bag she noticed that he was dry as a leaf to which she sighed in relief.
Moments later the four of them had their supplies and things needed to go on. As they moved on two dolphins offered them rides through the whirlpool waters, which had tons or whirlpools affecting a travellers journey. After bidding farewell to the dolphins they kept moving on, Ocean and Estel in front leading the way and Iris and Marina following behind them.
"So I heard that you're originally from the Normal Realm," said Marina starting a conversations with Iris.
To which Iris replied, " Yeah, my mom's a witch or...um...Mage and my dad's a muggle."
"A Muggle? But I though they were only called Muggle's in Harry Otter," said Marina with a raised eyebrow,
"Harry Otter?" Replied Iris smiling ,
"Yup the famous Harry Otter, he is the otter that lived and the otter that went to hogwarts as a wizard, and has friends who's names are Ermin-y Granger and Ron Weasel-y," said Marina smiling brightly,
Iris laughed and said. "That's funny, in the realm I'm from it's Harry Potter and he is not an otter but a boy. It's interesting how the realms have similar books and movies."
"Yup it is a wonder...I've always wanted to go to the other realm's and see all the different thing they have to offer," replied Marina,
"You've never been to another realm?" replied Iris,
To which Marina said, " No, I've never been a fish out of water,"
"Maybe if I find my mom I could ask her for a spell or something which can help you explore the realms," replied Iris,
To which Marina said, "That would be awesome!"
"Shhh," said Ocean stopping as he looked at the grave jungle of seaweed under them. Everyone stopped and saw the seaweed move as a creature swam through them.
"What is that?" whispered Estel,
"I'm not sure, these waters are very mystical and can have various creatures appear at different times," replied Ocean still alerted. Then the seaweed stopped moving as bright yellow eyes looked at the four of them.
Then Marina said "Oh No..." as the creature came out of its hiding place.
