Thread: Atoll of Fate{KayLove & Wolvenrogue}

RE Atoll of Fate KayLove Campion The sea has never been known for how gentle it was, how loving, or warm. It was often compared to a cross woman who smite all those to defy her and curse those to a devistating life of sorrow. But that is the human way. For Lynosha the sea was nothing more than a father doing what was thought best for his children as well as pets that live under and in its depths. One could never get away from his all seeing eye, he was a punisher as well as a saint of the people of Mer that lived whithin his tempid domain. Recently Lynosha had found herself swimming with a pod made of a small family. It was often that stray mermaids or men would travel from pod to pod to stay in a group with higher chances of having one protect your back as well as the social aspect of the desolate life they lived. They traveled along one of the many large land masses, Lynosha had almost traveled them all but prefered to stay in the slightly warmer climates as she did not have the sheer mass to keep herself warm in the cold. The pod of mer stuck close to the shore of the continent foraging for food, catching small fish and snagging clamoring crabs to eat. It was a peaceful life to live, once finished they headed towards the deeper waters to a flatter section of sea where the children could swim about and be watched at all times. The two children were female and had so much spark to them Lynosha often wondered how they simply didn't swim around day and night for hours upon end. Lynosha was younger compared to their parents and got along with them, often calling her 'big sister' when they wanted something or needed help. But as the girls played her and the adults ate their spoils talking of the humans they saw, how primitive they looked, how thin, it wasn't a developed country yet it seemed. But that was little to be cared about for the mer. Big Sister! came the waterloged echo voice of the older of the two girls, Closha. Lynosha gave the parents a look and recieved a small nod from the smiling parents to allow Lynn to heed the call and go find out what the girls wanted. And she was off in a flurry of delicate fins, faster than the family seeing as her tail was ment for speed, but soon she tapered down as she got closer to see what the girls were looking at over the sandy hill before them. What is it little ones? she asked as she came to a stop beside the smaller mer, Desti, who immediately wrapped her arms around Lynn's tail and clung tightly. What is it Lynn? asked Closha with a voice filled with curiosity. Lynn looked up and finally noticed what the two were talking about, below them was an old ship, ruined and its long beams broken but the shape held true. The older mer patted both the girl's dark haired heads and said softly, It's a human contraption to float over the ocean. Why? asked Desti, Yeah, why would they want to float? asked Closha at the same time. Lynosha chuckled softly, Because human's cannot swim as we do, they inhabit the land, a place we cannot go. And with that the girls seemed satisfied but also curious which was often a dangerous thing but before Lynosha could attempt to tell them no, Desti was swimming down towards the broken ship. No! Desti, she hissed as she shot forward and grabbed the girls forearm but in doing so she accidentally scraped the tip of her middle finger on the merchild's skin and a thin like of dark red blood began to float to the surface almost immediately. Lynosha gave a silent gasp as she saw what she did. Blood, a mermaids blood was extremely potent, if not stopped quickly then they might all die. Children! she tugged Desti back quickly without hurting her any further, I am sorry child, she said with worried eyes as she kept glancing back at the ship, Go back, tell them to leave now. there was a silent shift in the water below them, Now girls! she told them as she gave they backsides a shove and used her tail to create a small wave of water to help them along. Lynn knew when the ocean moved and when it moved to accommodate something and that something was not good. Lynosha kept glancing back at the merfamily behind her, but soon the creature revealed itself, it was a tiger shark. The sharks were often curious so Lynosha was not surprised that it had been in the ship and only come out at the smell of blood. Damned creature.. she mumbled to herself as she watched it swim in lazy lines up her direction. She wanted to be sure that the thing was hungry before she did what she was about to do... But it was. Lynosha stayed completely still as it passed her, its eye watching her but not giving her a second glance as its soul purpose was to find the blood. Oh no you don't she hissed as she took her sharp nails and quickly gave her upper arm a quick slash, four delicate scrapes appearing on her skin and crimson blood stained her vision. Just like that the hunt was on but the waters had steadly been changing too... The ocean becoming choppy and the waterline receding ever so slightly. There was a storm coming and by the feeling of it, it was a very large one as the boat below them rocked back and forth. Out of the corner of her eye she saw the family fleeing. But her main concern was the tiger shark that was now circling her... And she knew that it would strike, deadly and fast, without warning. Her instincts heightened as the danger arose, the coloring of her hair and tail changing colors rapidly from back to white now in thick lines but that did nothing to keep the creature away. The water shiften suddenly again but Lynosha moved at the last possible moment twisting to her side, allowing the sharks fin to bat her way as it gave to the momentum she needed to speed off in the opposite direction of the sharks attack. She swam and swam until the waves became too fearsome and she was soon being pushed and pulled under the sea in a direction she did not want to go but she had no choice the storm was now passing directly over her. Its circling clouds and feirce momentum was not something that any mer could oppose. But still she tried... It was a fightening moment, the dark ocean moving all around her with no control of where she was going or when it would stop. She was utterly frightened... Suddenly a huge wave came upon her and tore her down into the ocean causing her to hit her head on some outlying rock... Everything went black... The sound of tapping crept into Lynosha's subconscious, ticking away at her dreams of sharks, blood, and clashing Titans of waves... But as the tapping grew louder Lynn's heartbeat speed and the dream became far more than she could handle as she suddenly gasped, her blue eyes popping open wide, her lashes containing specks of sea water. She heard the unfamiliar sound of wings fluttering as she moved from her position of laying upon the soft sand of the beach, half in and out of the water. Lynosha coughed as she instinctually tried to breath initially through her gills but quickly shut them off to the former usage that her body had automatically adjusted to outside of the water. Startled by her surroundings, she looked around her and noted that she was in some sort of island beach.. No it wasn't an island... She looked in a complete circle and noted the edges of sand, the dips in the darker blue colors indicating the deeper areas and the small opening that perhaps something large could swim through. As she sat up she noted that everything hurt, her tail, arms, head espically, and back. She flipped herself over, her tail heavy outside of the boyant water. She attempted to whipe the sand from her skin but quickly gave up and inspected herself. She was bruised and scraped in several places but none seemed to be injured horribly. She was thankful for that. She tucked a piece of her dried hair behind her ear and she continued to look around at her surrounding's. If there human's here they most likely would have spotted her by now. But so far there was no life other than the bird and the fish she spotted in the warm waters before her. She would need to take time to let herself recover and it seemed like the perfect chance to do so. The sound of a cocanut dropping behind her caused her to jump and hurry back into the waters... She couldn't help but laugh at herself as she realized what she had done but still she wasn't used to being so near to land with all of its mysteries...
