Beneath The Sea

NOLAN“Do you believe in mermaids?” I turned at my back to look at Orlene, irritated. Where in the world does she get that question? Only dumb people would believe that mermaids are real. I shook my head in disbelief. I looked at her again like she was the dumbest person in the world, then she frowned. “Why? I’m just asking a question.” Seriously? Is that even a question? It’s clear that mermaids are only mythical creatures and she would believe in those stupid kinds of stuff? “Are you sure you’re feeling well? It seems that you didn't have enough sleep and started asking dumb questions.” Then I howl with laughter. I laughed so hard in a way that I catch the attention of my classmates, “Oh, sorry.” I said then I stared at her, she’s now as red as a tomato. Aww, my little sister is embarrassed, cute. Well, we’re not real siblings. But I treat her as my little sister. She has the same personality as my late younger sister.I checked my watch…is our teacher not there yet?! Where in the

NOLANI sighed as I walked towards my closet. I picked the most decent uniform to wear. Another day of school. Though, I’m not complaining that I’m going to school. It’s my dream when I was young. But, I DIDN’T KNOW THAT SCHOOL IS THIS HARD!I looked at the time. Dammit! It’s already 7:00 AM! We have a class at 7:15! I quickly wore my clothes, I went directly to the dining room, nobody’s here. Maybe mom and dad are still sleeping? I ate pancakes with syrup. I didn’t have time to drink my water. I quickly went outside and head towards our school. Well, Zonwolf University is not that far from home. Unconsciously, I looked at a girl running fast. It’s weird to see people in this place. Only a few people know about this, my family and I use this as a shortcut to school. Back to the girl, it looks like that she’s late on her work because of her messy hair and untidy clothes. Als

NOLANA week has passed, and something unexpected happened. I looked at my back, I saw Orlene who’s now sitting and writing something on her notes. She apparently knew about the mermaid.She said she accidentally heard me and Amansinaya talking to each other. She even heard that Credail is Amansinaya. What’s surprising is that she didn’t even freak out. Instead, she was amazed that Credail is a goddess. She even wanted to see Amansinaya’s power. Heck, she nagged us the whole week just so she could see the goddess’ power! Therefore, we have left with no choice but to show her. Amansinaya and I decided to show it to her after class.I looked at the seat beside me. Amansinaya isn't early today, huh? Commonly she’s earlier than me every time we go to school. I looked at my watch, fifteen minutes left before our first subject starts.“Nolan, did you do our homework?” I turned my

NOLANI felt a strong force pulling me. Minutes have passed when I felt the force starting to fade away. I slowly opened my eyes; what I saw is a jaw-dropping view. I looked around, Orlene was beside me while Amansinaya, now on her goddess form is in front of us.Breathe of the wind slowly whispered upon us. Trees that are everywhere, unlike in our world where buildings and structures were the only things you can see. In the sky, you see a flock birds flying. One of them was leading the way. My eyes looked at that bird when I noticed that it was also looking at us. Then, the bird flaps its wings directly towards us.I was about to run when a flock of birds flew to our direction but Amansinaya stopped me. “Don’t run they won’t harm us.” And she was right. The bird that led the direction landed on my shoulders. While the others landed on the ground.“The bird on your should

NOLANWait, what?I looked at Amansinaya weirdly, is that really true? “You’re looking at me like I’m a big fat liar.” She said. I shook my head at her. If that is really true then, how ironic is that? In our world, we believed that creatures like them are only a myth. Then in this world, they believed that we, humans are myths.I didn’t respond to her, instead, I continued eating. Few minutes of an ear-shattering silence ensued when finally I broke it.“So, what will we do next? When will we start finding her?” I asked. Orlene’s attention was caught when I asked. We both looked at Amansinaya.Instead of paying attention to my question, she just enjoyed her meal. As if, she didn’t hear anything.I faked a cough to get her attention. She looked at Orlene, and me “Oh, sorry.” She said then stopped eatin
