Waterline

Two Peculiar Worlds

Clare elbowed Logan in the stomach.  He hunched over in pain and was slowed down. Clare ran to the driver's seat and started the boat. She started ramming the boat towards Darrel's boat. Logan regained his posture, then tried to stop Clare. He grabbed her arm and tried to pull her off the controls. Clare was much bigger and stronger than him, so she easily pushed him off. Logan stumbled backward. This gave Clare the chance to thrust the boat forward.

Logan, barely able to stand straight, stumbled off the boat. Clare didn't care, she was focused on getting Darrel's boat. She knew well that if his boat goes down then so will Ashley. Darrel was worried for the boy that fell into the water but he had to leave before his boat goes down. He quickly turned the boat instantly sped away. It was a rocky start but got an advantage away from the other boat. Regrettably, he had to leave behind his friends and the fallen boy.

Darrel parked his boat with the help of his friends. Pj, Toby, and Conor tied the boat into place. Mae, Allen, and Libby got into the boat only to see Ashley. "Where did everyone go?" Libby asked Darrel. The question made Darrel hang his head down low. "What happened?" Pj asked, he already finished tying the boat to the deck. Toby climbed into the boat to see Ashley passed out on the seat. "What happened to Ashley?" He asked him. Darrel swigged before saying, "Alright, listen."

Darrel explained everything that happened once they got there. Starting from the strange rocks in the water, then continuing from there. He got to the part where Clare got there and attacked them. He explained every little detail that happened. "We can't sit around and let this happen, Clare is working with a dangerous person. If Clare is planning on killing them here, then he would kill them underwater." Mae told them.
"How are we going to do that?" Conor asked her.
"We need someone to go undercover and make him powerless," Mae said.
"Who would be able to do that?" Darrel asked her.
"I know someone but contacting her would be difficult," Mae sighed. It would be a stretch to actually be able to see her.

Callie looked down at the necklace that was made for her. Why would anyone give her a present? All she was, is a forgotten human and a nobody siren. She wasn't worth anyone's time. Still, someone believes she was worth something. New emotions formed in Callie. Was she learning something new? It was like learning to walk again only that she was learning about love. A thing where a person would do anything for the other. It could lead humans to do wild things even causing their lives. But, could it happen to sirens?

Callie looked back at the cave, she was happy to be free. There was a moment of remorse as she knew how he lived. Being alone isn't fun. Micah knows it too well. He wanted a friend and someone to love but he won't ever get that. Neptune has doomed him. His goal is to find eternal happiness in all the worlds. Micah will not see the dry work but he'll always be welcomed in the ocean.

The moment the ocean current changed, Micah knew his protégée has failed him. Now it was time for him to do everything himself. He grabbed his trident before memorizing a special spell that'll be useful for him. Micah left his cave, a full-on battle will commence and he's not backing down. He won't quit until what is rightfully his will stay with him. Now it was time to confront the children.

Callie found Fawn alone and sitting beside a rock. She seemed distracted by something. "Fawn are you alright?" Callie asked the innocent girl. Fawn perked up once she saw her long lost friend. "Callie, I'm so glad you're here!" Fawn quickly hugged her. "Darling, Tell me what happened since I was gone," Callie told her, she didn't want to be questioned for her tardiness. "So much has happened but you deserve the big news," Fawn said, breaking from the hug. Callie was surprised that so much has happened while she was gone. Usually, the Mediterranean is quiet and empty.

"Brixon just told me he was Triton and that he had to go to a ritual! It had something to do with saving the island of Silverfish," Fawn explained. Callie knee exactly what she was talking about. It made her thankful for the conversations that she had with Micah. "There is something that I need to tell you," Callie told her.

Everything became much more clear to Fawn. She was a slow person but she could understand what was happening around her. It cleared up a lot of questions that she had. Most of them were, why would Neptune do that? Or, why does Micah plan to do this? Callie told everything she could to her friend. She hated when she feels left out so Callie tries her best to not make her feel that way. "We have to find Brixon before Micah does," Callie said. Fawn nod, then the two girls began to swim.

"W...wait a second, I have my memories," Nelson was surprised. He was shocked that he became a siren again. Part of him was infuriated about it. "I bet Venilia didn't explain everything to you yet," Brixon assumes based on everyone's confusion.
"She kept it a secret," Penelope commented. Brixon clearers his throat as he began to explain the whole situation.

"We are special sirens, so that's why we are so decorative," Brixon told them. Everyone's tail was uniquely designed and had special accessories. Penelope has her hair up with nice flowers sticking out of it. Nelson had bands wrapped around his arm. Eddie and Berwald had a matching armor on there shoulder corresponding to their scar. Brixon had tattoos all over his body. "We are the children of Neptune. I'm Triton, Nelson is Proteus, Penelope is Benthesikyme. Eddie and Berwald are Rhode," Brixon told them. He knew they wouldn't know anything about Greek Mythology but he wasn't going to go more in-depth about it.

"The ritual that we did was to stop the people of Silverfish to turn into sirens. Now that we are done with that, we need to decide who will be king of the ocean," Brixon explained, "only one could be king and live as a siren forever." The last part made everyone feel awful. Nelson was already a siren and he dreaded every minute of it. He doesn't want to go back or make any of his friends to pay the price. "How do we become king?" Eddie asked.

"First we must find the old statue of Neptune that was discarded around this area. Then we would have to pull the trident out of his hands. That trident has insanely strong powers and would automatically make you king. But if it falls in the wrong hands then it could destroy our existence," Brixon firmly warned them the consequences.
"So, who would be king?" Berwald timidly asked.
"Don't worry, I'll be king. No matter what, my father would somehow make me the ruler," Brixon heartedly smiled at them.
"Your such a good person, I don't know how to thank you," Nelson spoke.
"Help me find the statue and we are good,"
"Sounds good to me," Eddie commented.
"Also watch out for people that would want to hurt you," Brixon warned before the group could leave.
"We will," Penelope assures him before swimming away. The rest of them followed behind her.

Brixon smiled as he watched them leave. It felt nice to be reunited with them once again. He couldn't remember the last time he saw them. Brixon looked stared off into the distance. It was dark on the ocean floor, but there was light from the moonlight. He looked up to face the moon. That's when he spotted something strange making its descent. It wasn't some random object that was discarded. He inched his way towards the thing only for him to see it was a human. Brixon rushes to the drowning human in hopes that he could save him.
