Library Ocean Novels & Stories

Dax asked, completely unfazed. "Worse," I said, my fingers flying over my keyboard as I decrypted a fresh packet of data pouring in from the coastal sensors. "The Ark in the Mariana Trench isn't an aerial fortress like Neo-Angeles. It's designated as Abyssal-One. It's a high-pressure, deep-sea manufacturing hub. And they aren't sending drop-ships." I hit a key, throwing the coastal radar onto the main holographic projector. The western coastline only thirty miles from our grounded crater was lighting up like a Christmas tree. But the signatures weren't in the sky. They were emerging from the ocean.

"June we are miles away from the beach. How can the sea be here in the middle of the land?" "It is not a flood, Mom " June yelled over the roar of the water. She pointed at the computer screen. The "Atlantis Protocol" signal was flashing. "They are using the gravity machines. They are pulling the ocean across the land like a carpet. They are moving the sea to us!"

Dabria yelled at Adrian, trying to make her point. Ocean stepped out of that small cabin Adrian brought them to. Her tears were nowhere to be stopped. Both Dabria and Ocean were devastated knowing the fact that their mates were left behind, helpless. While Dabria had a whole family with her, Ocean's family started from Moon and ended on Moon as well. He was the whole world for her. And she couldn't stop thinking if something bad might have happened to Moon and Zeus. But despite everything that they were going through, Ocean was a bit calmer to understand that Adrian was indeed right at that moment.

he reminded him. "It can be revived if I can get an omega" Haynes explained further. "Which you were unable to find after searching many communities of werewolves for years. Or are you planning to send me to the werewolves so that I could get bitten and become a 'floater' like you?" Sergeanti laughed hysterically. He had discovered his plans. Haynes was a very dubious dishonest and wicked wizard. "No, you don't need to go and search for any werewolves because an omega is lurking in Greenford right now" Haynes ascertained.

I look up at the overhead signs and see that there are 4 big aquariums one for every ecosystem. The Atlantic, the artic, the pacific, and the Indian. I look closer and see that every ecosystem has all the elements that are in the sea. The first stop is the Atlantic. Every 10 meters, there is a sign with facts about the ocean. I walk up to the first sign. The sign says that the Atlantic is the second-largest ocean and covers 20% of the earth's surface. I walk to the second sign. It lists most of the fish that you can find in the Atlantic. It includes hake, crabs, lobsters, clams, and squid. They list more fish, but I don't recognize half of them.

We need a family member to come collect them. Tristan listened, incredulous. "Are you people still not done with this act?" Callum glanced over with a sneer. "First, the police station; now, the forensic center. Selene's got quite the network." The staff member on the other end went quiet for a few seconds, their tone cooling. "If it's inconvenient for you to come in, you can start by looking at the photographs." Three photos arrived moments later. The first showed a white gown, bloated and warped from the seawater. The hem was stained with dark traces of blood, and the lace had rotted beyond recognition.

"It feels as though the ocean is trying to breathe through us." ​"The archipelago is a lung," Elara replied. Her white hair acted as the only lantern in the oppressive gloom. "It filters the magic of the deep and pumps it into the vessels. We are walking through the center of a massive feeding system." ​Dhum tana na na...

The spell activated like a gentle glove inside me, letting air flow through my lungs even beneath the waves. I opened my eyes. And gasped. The Cloud Sea wasn’t just beautiful, it was ethereal. Luminous strands of seaweed danced like long, glowing ribbons around me. Fish with crystal fins darted past, and massive shadows slumbered in the distance, unmoving, ancient. And then I saw them. Oysters. Dozens of them nestled in clusters along the coral ridges. Some pulsed with pale blue light. Others were shut tight, their shells etched with natural runes and veins of glowing silver.

Finally, after days of travel, we reach the border of Oceana, and with it, the Oceanean barrier. The sight of it takes my breath away. It’s not like the magical barrier surrounding Altinna, invisible yet ever-present. The Oceanean barrier is a vast, deep body of water, stretching as far as the eye can see, glimmering under the sunlight like a sheet of polished glass. The water is impossibly calm, as though no ripple or wave has ever disturbed its surface. River’s eyes light up as soon as he sees it. He’s not even trying to mask his excitement.

It said he cares nothing about the lives of his subjects, or anyone else in the world, that he is evil through and through. If all that is true, he will certainly have no mercy for a poor Forest Kingdom woman sneaking over his border. I try to forget about it as we continue, though my hands still shake. Somehow, we make it past the Oceana soldiers and out to the coast. I freeze in stunned silence when we first reach the ocean. I’ve never seen anything like it before. Bright blue water stretches into the horizon without a speck of land to be seen. I’ve never looked so far at anything. Its waves crash violently against the sharp rocks we’re climbing on, and I’m terrified of falling in.
