[center][h2]Thalassa[/h2][/center] [@Legion02] She held the helpless creature close to her as they swam off. Wishing to object. But by the time that the courage had finally came to her, to speak... They were already swimming off. Disappearing through the ocean, leaving her alone with the human. Glancing down at him, she knew it was only a matter of time before the bubble ran out of air. She had to return to Splatter as quickly as she could. Although figuring a position to hold him in was difficult, for he was nearly two times her size. The moment he was shifted properly into her arms, she zipped through the water. Bubbles exploding behind her in a trail of shimmering pearls. He was limp in her thin arms, his breath soft and steady. Against her own chest. The corals around her grew more and more familiar. As she recognized the coral kingdom that she had explored since she was a small child. The fish and sea creatures, who normally swarmed playfully around her, raced from her path. Scared by the strange alien that lay limp in her arms. Her hair shrouded her face as she came to a stop above the darkness of the ravine. It's blue strands if hair waved around her, painted with yellow at the tips, allowing her to stand out from the water. She glanced around, to make sure that no one was watching. Before dipping down into the darkness. Being careful to keep the jagged rocks away from the soft skin of the man. Merging into the darkness of the tunnel, the gleaming light from the small cave glowed through the water in shivering lines fading through the darkness. The air bubble popped in a wave of salty breeze as she broke the surface. Splatter's eyes gleamed at the familiar sight of her. But suddenly grew aggressive as he saw the male. [b]"[color=Pink]Shhhh,[/color]"[/b] Thalassa whispered [b]"[color=Pink]It's okay Splatter, he needs help[/color]"[/b] she assured him softly. Slowly he slunk back into his sea grass bed. Whimpering in disagreement. He clearly didn't trust the two legged creature. Trying her best not to scrape the fragile skin of this creature, she hauled him up onto the small rock island. On the the other side away from Splatter. She laid the human down onto a small extra bed she had prepared earlier. Than slipped onto the rock, moving to Splatter. The seal nudged her shoulder gently. Nuzzling her with his whisker surrounded nose. He was worried, she could tell. The seal had grown protective over her. And if he were better, she would go no where without him. [b]"[color=pink]I'm fine Splatter[/color]"[/b] she assured him, her voice quiet, as she gently rubbed his back. His blubber was rubbery to the touch, but dry and smooth. She curled up on the seaweed bed. Slowly starting to drift off as she curled close to Splatter. Her tail curling close to her as she drifted off to sleep. [i]"Mommy I's scared" she whimpered up to her mother, cuddling close to the comfort of her mothers chest. The water was dark as they sat in her bedroom. The little girls eyes caught on the window. Where she could see lighting whipping from above the surface. "It'll be okay Lass" her mother's voice was gently, quiet and soft. And her mother's fingers were caring as they pulled through the child's blue silk like hair. "God will protect us" she whispered, Slowly as she ripped her wide eyes away from the Storm ocean. And to the gentle gaze of her loving mother. "Wats Gwod look like?" She asked her mother, curiosity helping mask the fear from the Storm. Her mother smiled, and took a moment to think. Careful of what she said, as to not scare the girl. "God... Is the father of us all. He is the one who makes the waves move, and the wind howl. He is the one who created all of us, and put the fish in the ocean. He watched over us, and takes care of us." The mother assured her child "Tan why is he letting Iwts be scwary?" She asked innocently. "One of gods children has died Lass, he is only crying" her mother whispered, rocking her child gently, holding the small three year old to her chest. "Why has they dwied?" The curiosity of a child was a never ending pooling of excitement and magic. Always wishing to know more. "Sometimes age takes the lives of his children, and sometimes his child hurt one another" the child's pink eyes widened with shock. "B-But why's mommy?!" She asked, to a child, the idea of murder to a child was not even comprehendible. Her mother slowly shook her head. "Guilty, regret, revenge, and greed can make anyone not themselves."[/i]
