Chapter Text
It was a cold day for most of the folks in the city. Where it sparkled usually with the bright corals, it was a dull and degrading day for the common. For you see, the beautiful and bright queen was murdered by the land people. They called themselves humans as to say they were the normal ones, and we are the outcasts that deserved to be aimed and fired upon at sight. How did this all start, some would ask this question and one long and tiring story later they never asked again.
We used to live in harmony with the ones from above. Though they turned and killed our people when we showed our advances. They threaten us without reason and so they started the war we all now participate in. The humans were the dark creatures and they have evolved into beings with mass murders with no mercy to anyone that stands in their path.
The fog in sea was a foe to the land folks for they couldn’t see a single object ahead of them. That’s when the glorious of the best defenders of soldiers came to fight. They brought weapons that kept evolving every time we met with them. The humans are selfish and cruel to all who do not fit their standards of normal. We were forced into hiding when so many of the fierce warriors died at the hands of the vicious people. Life was wretched and many felt shame when our kind retreated. Today, the animosity we have now burns with the ever present flame. No one thought anyone would be willing to try and touch the flame and tame it though.
We are advanced for our era of time some would say. We have made discoveries that many wouldn’t have imagined in the near future. No fear except for what lies below the surface. The ones our kin have seemed to thought as myth now. Beautiful creatures but deceivement can be drawn in a blink of an eye. Never willing to try and understand that the impossible was what became possible in the first place. Never could anyone fight off the direction of the powerful seas that we thought we could controlled. Everyone has forgotten except for the few. The wise and old remembering our ancestors from the past. We used to hunt in a primitive way before upgrading the weapons we once possessed. The need for domination and elimination against foes we were friends with before. Though, the indelible memory stains history for us.
They offered smiles facing us. We offered our knowledge to them and they take it without care. They were selfish and greedy with the bounties we gave them. They took advantage of our amiable deeds towards them. They returned with weapons past our materials, and they decided they needed subjects to test the weapons. Who better than the ones that gave you the idea and materials in the first place. Pandemonium followed when they killed our sailors at sea. Hypnotic stares and voice luring so many of our people to the sea beds. Never seeing the families they left behind to fight the monsters that came to us! Never to be remembered for giving their lives for humanity! I won’t forget the warriors that helped us vanquish the enemies.
I set sail for the sea and killing the remaining merfolk. They won’t get away from us even if they hide from us. Our bullets will put an end towards them for good riddance. My gun loaded with the gun powder and bullets laced with poison that could take down a bear in one shot. I stay quiet and wait for the prey to show themselves to me. Ripples form around the boat as something hits the port side. Another hit to the starboard side and contents fall down to the deck. I put the mask over my face and take the aim for the water. The little waves surrounding the boat. Little bubbles surfaced the sea level and there it raises its head. I take my shoot but something complies me not to. To kill something so beautiful would be a sin, I thought in my mind. She comes closer and I lean into her direction. She pulls herself up and is soon close enough to touch. She reaches out with her pale and connected webbed hands to my shirt. She slowly presses her lips to mine, and it was like heaven exploded from above. I couldn’t move from the bliss that shot up through me. It was slowly becoming dark in my vision but I didn’t care for as long as she continued her ministrations. I started to feel light headed when she removed herself from me. I whined a soft noise under the giggles she erupted from her gracious voice. So delicate and elegant I fell more under her spell. She put her hand out, and I grabbed it immediately without question. She pulled me in with her as she lowered herself from the deck. I followed her until I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t breathe! I realized with that thought and I struggled from her strong vice held grip. Her form turned hideous and gruesome to look at, and she took an aggressive hold on my throat. I kicked and punched but I felt so… so dizzy. I needed to sleep and soon everything turned black from that point on.
