Soulwielders Book One: Elemental

Aquatic Travels.

As soon as I arrived I immediately noticed the room was incredibly damp. The metal room was small and tightly packed.

The door lead out into Aquosis, but of course, that would flood us with water. So I equipped a device that would keep us from having to worry about the water. I put one of Oritz and one on myself.

The device pushed water away from us and quickly took the oxygen from the water to let us breathe.

I also added weights to my shoes, Ortiz's feet, and to his wheelchair so we didn't float away.

We opened the door and water flooded in, but the devices instantly pushed the water away creating a thin layer of air.

I wheeled Oritz down the path leading to the capital city. Aquosis was constructed in a way that the palace was the center of everything. Most of the houses were made of tightly packed sand. The floors were full of seashells.

The palace was made of a giant shell. The shell was in a spiral shape and bright pink. At the tip, a weapon was equipped that fired an incredibly powerful torpedo that could reach thousands of miles away.

The city was surrounded by a coral wall and MerWarriors were positioned at all four entrances.

Mermaids and Mermen swam around the city. They were very humanoid. Their skin was made of small light blue scales, they had sharp front teeth and wavy kelp-like hair. MerPeople could covert their tails into legs and had power over plant life.

Their lower halves were large fish tails that helped them swim through the water. MerPeople all had basic training to fight in case of an emergency. Though the army was quite small because the government refused to draft soldiers and they didn't get many reinforcements from the other realms as water combat required lots of specific training.

There were sections of the streets that were closed off as condensed currents that let you get around the capital quickly. I was taken aback by the beauty of the city. There were lights reflecting off of everything that made it amazing.

Oritz groaned and I remembered what I had to do. We continued along aimlessly. I had to weave between buildings hoping I'd find some sign of Adonia and her shop.

I found a map and studied it. Though it didn't seem to have the information I needed. I came across a stand selling various seafood. The MerPerson was trying to convince a Mermaid she needed some sort of crab. The Mermaid began to walk away.

"Excuse me, Sir, do you happen to know where I can find Adonia's shop?" I asked. The Merman shrugged and I sighed.

The Mermaid from before looked at me and Oritz. "Why are you looking for Adonia?"

The Mermaid had purple eyes. They were kind but had an edge to them. Her skin was also more purple than blue. She was wearing a tank top made of blue seaweed. Her hair was short and yellow of all things. It seemed clumped together tightly.

Oddly enough she had her legs instead of a tail. Normally MerPeople preferred swimming over walking. She was wearing blue kelp shorts and white shell shoes. The Mermaid was taller than me and seemed to be about 16 years old.

"I need her help healing my friend. He was injured by a water creature in Glacial Outpost." I explained.

The Mermaid started walking and motioned for me to follow. "C'mon, I know where she is." I followed her through the various alleyways.

She stopped at a door and pushed it open. I was overwhelmed with the smells of herbs. The inside was dark and mysterious.

The Mermaid walked into another room and an older Mermaid came out, she was in her regular form. I presumed she was Adonia
