The soft sound of water flowing beneath the glass bridges made the entire place feel like a fantasy far removed from reality. Crystal’s laughter echoed softly within the walls of the aquarium, blending like music with the graceful movements of stingrays and shimmering goldfish. Her face, radiant and glowing, looked more beautiful than ever. Her pale skin had gained a gentle hue again, her cheeks softly flushed, and her full lips stretched into a peaceful, bright smile that hadn't been seen in months.

And she was only just getting started. Vara sat before a sprawling table inside Lab 07, the designated research wing built for aquatic innovations at Aeternum Royal University. The afternoon light filtered through tall glass panels, casting shimmering patterns across the many magical crystals, water-channeling glyphs, and rune-etched blueprints that littered the desk. Across the room, several engineers and arcane technicians moved about, tuning mana converters and consulting with artifact scholars. The air buzzed with the hum of arcane energy and whispered equations. Vara looked down at the new crystal prototype in her hand—deep blue, denser, heavier than the river net orb. Ocean Nets…

“Okay.” We left to her room and knocked on her door. Aqua answered. “Oh, hey.” She looked like a mess. Her eyes and nose were red as if she had been crying. Whenever I saw her walking around with Hannah she didn’t look all that great then either. She always looked tired and now she looked sick. “Are you okay?” Gray asked and walked in without asking. Aqua looked at me. “You can come in.” She walked to her bed and sat down. “I’m okay, I just have allergies.” It was obviously a lie. She must have missed Lexus or something.

Not long after, an elixir appeared in front of Lucas. Elixir of Aqua Resistance: drinking it allows one to move around as if on land. Additionally, the person can now withstand any extreme water temperature. Price: 2000 points.

That means I know how to break through his encryption. Finally, after what feels like hours, the laptop gives in, and the screen unlocks. What I see hits me like a freight train. Aeron had a whole life apart from us. His screen is filled with files and messages—codes, names I don’t recognize. But one name stands out among the chaos: Legacy Vega.

“Zara! Zara! Can you hear me, honey?” Mom? Am I dreaming? “Water” I croak out. My voice sounds like that of a 70 year old smoker. A cool surface touches my lips and water, like the first breath of air after a near death experience, flows smoothly down my throat. I gulp it like my life depends on it; which might be true. Mom’s voice calls out again. “ Honey, can you open your eyes?”

Everyone would rave about it. Aqua rolled her eyes. "You're easily convinced," she snarked. "If I do this, does this mean I can live long like you? I can see my son forever and ever? I will be with my loved ones for eternity?" Logan smiled and nodded. "Okay, I'm in. But how do we do this?" Aqua asked. Logan turned to Violet. "This is where she comes in. Violet, please be their teacher." Aqua was stunned. "Do… Do you want to have us as your students?"

Her fear began to loosen its grip. Luna ran ahead, her laughter echoing through the clearing. She stopped beside a fountain carved from tree roots, its water glowing faintly. “Mommy, look!” she called. “It’s warm!” Aria knelt beside her, dipping her fingers into the stream. It wasn’t just warm—it pulsed. The water carried rhythm, like a heartbeat. Aria looked up at Elira. “Is this magic?” Elira smiled. “It’s memory.”

He takes a deep breath to calm himself before continuing, "I'm sorry. I just cannot bare it when you talk or think so negatively about yourself. Look at yourself in the water, tell me what you see." I do as I am instructed and roll to my stomach to look into the water below me. I see my long auburn hair as it falls over my shoulder and into the water, swirling like ribbons in the water. I see my green eyes glowing brightly from the moonlight reflecting off the waters surface. I see three long scars crossing down my face and entwining with the couple freckles that are scattered across my nose. My pale skin shines brightly in the dark water. "I see..."
