Oceania(The Discovery)#1

Prologue

“Run!”
“Run and never come back, Adria!”

And I did. Swimming with all my strength, hoping to save my soul. Running away from my kingdom - my home. The waves are no more in my control. It seems not to acknowledge me any longer. It’s being controlled now – and it's not by me.  Maybe till forever I wouldn’t have the power to control them anymore.

I must not get swallowed up by it. If it swallows me, I would be gone, disappearing into infinity just like the others had.
Looking back, I feel shattered, my families, everyone is there – inside the walls of those waves.
I remember moms warning about me saving my life as I swim fast zigzagging my moves as I go, the fishes also noticing the danger in the sea swim along with my zigzag motion. They are now scattered around not in schools like they used to anymore.

But no, the waves aren’t swallowing fishes. But mermaids.

It followed with speed, whoever is in control had instructed them well.
Even though chances are slim, one side of my heart wished silently of me not dying yet, the other side of me wants to give in to the pressure. There is nothing to live for anyway.
It getting closer now and I could sense my strength leaving me all at once. Now, this is it. My end. The end of Oceania. I closed my eyes and await it.
Everyone is gone. No one would be able to rescue Oceania. No one. It would be controlled by them.

Suddenly I felt myself being carried from above me, my tail responding to the water rhythm, I knew I was swimming again, moving fast.
I’m saved. At least for now because the waves would start heading my way again. Our way. I needed to see my saviour’s face. Turning my head, my eyes got locked into another pair of eyes.  Brown eyes.

We need to get out of here. Our eyes seem to communicate.
I nod my head. Sure
I thought everyone got swallowed up? Who is he then?.
I silently hoped we were not all dead then.

With his arms around me, a necklace with allot of shining stones was placed around my neck.
Immediately I feel energized, my energy seems to be Channelled in me running away. No, I need to save my home.
I was pushed forward out his hold.

Go

He waved his hand. The waves coming towards us now.
Not knowing what’s controlling me, my energy seems to be back and my bones wanting to move into action, I swim, my tail no longer following the rhythm of the sea but I controlled it with my moves.
I looked back once more. The waves are now close to my rescuer now. I motion to go back when I feel the dizziness again. I turned back instead of leaving him behind. Seeing him get swallowed up by the waves. I noticed the waves turned back too, heading to the other side of the sea, - away from me.

I looked around, the emotions of the sea rushing through me. The fishes are still swimming, scattering themselves around. I decided not to look back. My home destroyed, families gone and I?
To nowhere in particular.

But I will come back. I will come back to destroy them too as they destroyed us. That is sure.
