The Halfseas: Three Missing

Prologue

In an ominous room lit only by candles, two men and a woman talked in hush voices. The room itself was quite out of the ordinary. It was filled completely with water, and a few tiny fish swam through it. Its walls were made of three layers of thick sea-plant woven together, and the floor was ocean sand. The inside of the room was decorated with bright sparkling jewels of all kind. Decorative bunches of coral reef were placed near the walls. A carpet made of colored woven sea plants decorated the sandy beach. 

The room also contained five thrones. In the biggest, most lavish one, the older of the two men who looked to be around sixty sat, barely taking up half of the enormous chair. The other four chairs were the exact same, and the younger man and the women sat in two of them. They both looked to be in their mid-thirties and had similar facial features. The only difference was that the women wore a scuba mask and had an oxygen tank on her back. 

"So are you certain about this?" The bearded man asked the two others.

In hushed yet certain voices, the two both answered, "yes."

The room was silent for a couple moments. It was obvious that an important decision had been made.

"Great," The man told the two, "Make sure that they are prepared.

The two nodded and then began to stand up.

Suddenly, a third man opened the door. This man had strawberry blond hair and dark, brown, eyes. He also looked like he was around 30. Next to him stood a boy who looked near identical to the man. A confused expression spread through the boys face.

"Sorry I'm late," The man said, smiling. He knew that he had done something completely wrong, yet didn't show any signs of regret.

"We had an agreement," The older of the men said through clenched teeth.

"I'm sorry, but I just think that this is for the best," was the response.

"Dad, what's going on?" The boy asked, nervously.

"See this is why we planned to do everything the way that we did," The older man said, scoldingly, "We didn't want to cause the kids this amount of confusion."

"Sorry." The intruder answered in a way that made it clear that he definitely wasn't.

"I'm going to have to revoke you from the council," The older man responded, "Now get your boy back on land. We will discuss this later."

"We're going," The intruder told his son, "No questions. Apparently, the truth is too scary for you."

"What truth?" The boy asked, getting more and more confused by the second.

"I said no questions" his father answered, "And if you tell what happened to a single soul what just happened  very terrible things will happen." As soon as he finished his answer, the father swam out of the door. A few seconds later, his son followed him.
