Pirate and the Merhog

Rescued

Sorry if I'm going too fast. Since the COVID 19 is going on a crisis, its making most of the stores closed. Even my job at the store is closed too and when I'm not working, I write stories fast. I hope and pray that this pandemic crisis comes to an end. We all want our old lives back, not live in this nightmare.

(Amy's POV)

Man, that handsome blue pirate found my locket. I thought I lost it a year ago but it was at the coral garden. The locket belonged to my grandmother and I promised her that I would take care of it.

I told my mom that I'm just gonna go on adventures only in the ocean, not on the surface. Though I lied but she doesn't know.

I wonder what he is up to now. I heard that he's going to find Atlantis, the new Atlantis that's hidden in the old sunken city. I don't think he will find it because I've seen a few surface dwellers can't handle pressure or cold deep below the ocean. I better not let him see me.

Today is the day that this handsome pirate is going to travel again to the same location. The locket that he found, he probably believes that Atlantis and merpeople truly exist. I better see how far he has come.

I peeked from the surface and saw his ship sail off from the shore and back to find my home, I better get there before them.

Here we are again sailing to the exact location of the first clue. Shadow is the best cartography and geography; he should know where we are going.

"Okay, we have the coordinates and if we're correct, Atlantis should be around 5 miles away from the island we were on" Shadow said.

"So far away?" I asked.

"Yup. In the past explorers only found wreck debris and destroyed statues. Some believe that an island sank or a volcano created land to the surface" Shadow said.

"Maybe or something else" I guessed.

I took out the scope to take a look in it. There was nothing until I saw the pink tail fluke again in the water. Could it be? No, it can't be.

But it dives down again before I could get a better look, "Guys, I think I saw something"

"I don't see anything. I think the salty air is making you see things" Shadow said.

"I know I saw something. It was pink fish tail. I swear I'm not imagining things" I said.

"Alright suit yourself" Shadow shook his head and I got to the front of the ship.

I know I definitely saw something. I study every type of aquatic creatures but there's no fish that has pink color. I think.

"Okay, shall we start exploring here right now?" Tails asked.

"Yeah, I wanna take a closer look. You coming Tails?" I asked him while getting my wet suit ready with scuba gear.

"You should go. I put a waterproof camera on your diving mask. It will let me see what you're seeing through my laptop. Just in case if something happens to you, I come down there to get you" Tails said.

"Have you test it?" I asked.

"Yes I have" Tails nodded.

"Good. I'll be careful" I fist-bumped with him and jumped into the water. Wow, here's such a beautiful reef here.

There were all the kinds of sea creature I could find here, but now I can't see the pink tailed creature anywhere. I heard seacows were mistaken for mermaids but it's so obvious they don't look human. Or mobian if there really were one.
