Under the Waves

CHAPTER 5

"BEAUTY UNDER THE MOONLIGHT"

Kal's POV

"What do you mean?" I asked curiously. And I am shocked that at this moment I am too calm. I am pretty sure I panicked earlier before the water glowed. Is this one of his abilities as well? I asked myself.

"Like what I said. Do you want me to say it again?" He asked and smiled at me. It's a little bit creepy though. Imagine a creepy glowing-eyed guy smiling his pearly white fangs in the dark. Now, that feeling is what I should be feeling, but the weird glowing in the water is calming every scale in my body.

"Is this one of your abilities, Apol?" I voiced my thoughts out.

"Yes. Don't worry. It's the calming aura of my life force that I extend in the water I am manipulating." He said calmly.

"How can you manipulate the water?" I asked, looking at him confused. But he just ignored me and continued. This is really intriguing. Who really is he? His aura. His powers. It doesn't make sense. Normal pod leaders don't have this kind of abilities.

"Now, Kal. Let me explain why we are here" He takes out the bottles that were inside the boxes earlier in his office from the gray sling bag he is carrying on his shoulder. What is he going to do with those? Make me drink them?

Looking at him, I can see he is still wearing his office clothes. Grey button-up shirt, black coat, and black skinny slacks. Apol doesn't wear normal men's wear. With his feminine features, he can wear anything.

"These magical items are from Pacifica, and you know that already. This bottle.." He shakes the potion gently in his right hand. "This water is from Pacifica's castle underground pool" and he holds the other bottle in his left hand. "This one is the pure salt from the Pacific Ocean with pure magic in it."

"What are you going to do with it?" I asked. I know it's a very stupid question, but I always ask the stupidest and obvious questions. I'm curious! I can't help it!

"My dear Kal. I am going to use my powers to help you gain your markings. Or maybe do you want to go back to Pacifica to gain them yourself?" He shrugged and looked at me questioningly. Raising his brow with a smirk. I shake my head furiously in reply.

"Exactly." He giggled. "Okay, now! I'll explain to you how we should do it" He said excitedly. Like a child. Wow! Another shade of Apol. I swear he has multiple split personalities! That's insane!

"Wait!" I said. Making him stop before he continues his explanation. "How sure are you it will work?" I asked.

"Geez, child! You ask too many questions!" He laughed and scratches his head. "Just believe in me. I did it before too...." He paused a little "You're not the only runaway.." He looked at me with a hint of sadness in his eyes. "Before you ask again, I'll tell you that story next time!" What he said made me laugh. He knows that I'll ask about it for sure.
