Nythera Galanoth: City of Atlantis

WAVE 2: The City of Atlantis

WAVE 2

The City of Atlantis

"Hey! Saan ba talaga tayo pupunta? I don't want this! I never wished for this!" sigaw ko sa kanya habang lumalangoy kame sa malalim at madilim na parte ng karagatan.

Hindi ako nito pinansin at nag patuloy lamang sa pag langoy. Napahawak ako sa mga braso ko at hinimas ito habang sinusundan siyang lumangoy. I'm getting shivers all over my body seeing this dark side of the ocean.

There are no fishes and coral reefs. Just plain sand, darkness, silence and abandoned stuff waiting to be found by the owners that may have had longed forgotten them.

"Pwede bang sagutin mo ako?" sabi ko dito para pagtakpan ang takot na nararamdaman ko.

I bit my lip when I had a glimpse of my upper body. I'm just wearing a gold shimmering shell which is covering my chest. My hair is freely flowing on the rhythm of the movements of the water.

"Sa pagkaka alam ko naman ay hindi ka pipi at bingi!" mabilis akong lumangoy para maabutan ito.

Hinawakan ko ang braso nito. "Pwede bang sagutin mo na ang tanong ko?"

He just stared blankly at me and removed my hand from his arms and continued swimming. Napanguso ako at mariing pinikit ang mga mata ko. Wishing that this is all just a dream and everything will be the same as it was before.

Natatakot ako. Oo. Natatakot ako. Sino ba namang matinong tao ang hindi matatakot kung bigla mo nalang malalaman na ang mga nilalang na hindi niyo inakalang nabubuhay ay totoo pala? At ngayon ay isa pa ako sa kanila!

I don't even know that they exist yet now I am one of them? I don't know what will happen to me here in the oceans and the only merman that I know is completely shutting me out!

I opened my eyes and I was taken aback when I saw him so close to my face, his forehead creased and eyebrows knitted. He was staring at me as if he sees my mind, my psyche, my soul, my pains,and everything I've been through.

I can't help but to admire his gorgeous and perfect face. He's like the son of Poseidon. The King and the Ruler of the ocean. I have seen a lot of man but this is the first time that I see one being more fucking handsome and hot when he's angry or mad.

Dahan dahan ay marahan niyang hinawakan ang kamay ko. Pinag salikop niya ang mga kamay namin at mahigpit itong hinawakan na para bang nakasalalay ang buhay niya sa pag hawak sa kamay ko.

Walang sinasabi na kahit ano ay marahan ako nitong hinatak at pinag patuloy namin ang pag langoy. Suddenly, all my fears and thoughts banished. My mind is calm and at peace.

My eyes widened when I saw a city where we are heading. So Atlantis really does exist! My mouth parted when I saw, not only two or three more mermaids and mermans but a whole community of their kind.

"Mermaids and mermans are called Mereos and we are here in the Alpha Kingdom. There are four kingdoms here in Atlantis. Alpha, Chalcedon, Dawn and Genesis."

I pouted when I realized that he won't explain further. How am I suppose to cope up here when all I know is, Atlantis is made up of four kingdoms and they are called Mereos?! What a pain in the ass!

Oh! You don't have glutes now, Marina! Meron kang buntot! I heard him chuckled. I stiffened when I felt his hand around my waist pulling me closer to him.

"Don't worry, I'll answer all your questions later. Now, be a good girl and stay close to me. . ." He whispered in my ears.

Nakita ko ang mga sirena at sireno na nagtataka at palihim na tinitignan kame na para bang ito ang unang beses na makita nilang tumawa ang lalakeng katabi ko. Ipinagkibit balikat ko na lamang iyon.
