Novel & Cerita Pufferfish And Dolphins Chapter 1

She stretched out her hand for Naomi to take. Gingerly, Naomi grasped her soft, open palm. Nezetta pulled Naomi, placing her between her body and the edge, and stood behind her with a hand resting on the curve of Naomi's waist instead of her shoulder as she had originally intended, because of their height difference. "Look, beneath the waters. It's a Delphinus pod!" She excitedly pointed at the gray, streamlined animals swimming along the body of the ship. Naomi raised a brow both in humor and confusion as she looked at what Nezetta was referring to. "What in the world is a Delphinus? Those are dolphins!" She corrected, laughter bubbling from her lips.

It was like being witness to the breaking of a curse. Nevertheless, there still wasn’t much to see but leagues of open water around them. Occasionally a flying fish would break the surface and zip along, a whale would spyhop or a school of dolphins would playfully tag along in their bow wave. All these and the sight of hippocamps drawing their ship inevitably lost their charm to both Aki and Temujin. Temujin couldn’t begin to imagine how sailors endured the loneliness. It was definitely not the life for him. He thought he’d soon go crazy.

Reading her like an open book, Zivon added, “Speaking of which, I have a surprise for you…” Before Xavia could even reply, he had already taken a remote control out of his pocket… and with a click of a button, the ceiling and walls surrounding the room began sliding down… revealing the breath-taking sight of several colorful corals and fishes! In fact, there were dolphins as well! Were they under the sea?! “…H-how-” Holding her hands, Zivon interrupted, “Don’t worry about it. So long as you like it, I can safely say that all this is worth it… Don’t forget, I know you best…”

They lifted my spirits. I suddenly found myself at the Grove. I hadn't been paying attention to where I was going, and I had just followed the dolphins as they played beside me. I turned off the engine and gave the pod a dirty look. One dolphin jumped up beside me, and I swear he giggled before swimming off back into the ocean. If I didn't know better, I would have said those trickster dolphins had brought me here. This is why I liked sharks.

Saira's POV. An hour before the old couple spotted the Dolphins frolicking in the ocean in the previous chapter. My surrounding was like a bottomless pit that was sucking me in as I hurled into it. Desperately I trashed around in my attempt to clutch at something – anything that would put a stop to my fall. No matter how much I tried I was barely able to move my limbs. They felt so stiff and heavy. With effort I pushed open my eyelids only to feel a sudden piercing pain in my eyes.

At least, on the surface. I walked over to her, nudging her gently with my shoulder. "Look," I said, pointing out to a pod of dolphins breaking through the waves in the distance. They shimmered in the sunlight, scales iridescent and mane of rainbow fur around their necks. They were one of the more beautiful and gentle creatures the God of the Seas created. Ruby's face lit up, a bright smile spreading across her lips. "They're amazing," she whispered, her voice filled with awe. She turned toward me, and for a second, I could almost forget everything; the darkness looming, the war, the chaos we left behind. Here, out at sea, it felt like we could be something more, something better.

It covered more than anything else I had been given so far. I look away from the outside and to the book I had been given. The Water Species I furrow my brow. The water species, huh? I wonder if this had anything to do with Bacudal telling me I needed a river nymph to uncloak myself. I flip open the first page, to what looks like a table of contents. Selkies....2-4 Cthulhu...4-8 Kraken...8-12 Leviathan....12-13 Dog Fish...13-15

I close my eyes, tilting my face up to the sky, and for a split second, I could be Rose on the Titanic, arms outstretched, waiting to fly. A poke presses against my back, yanking me from imagination, and I snap my head, ready to bite his head off. Chase tilts his chin toward the water, his mouth curved in that infuriating half-smirk, and I follow his gaze. A slick body arcs out of the sea, spinning midair before crashing back into the water with a splash. A dolphin.

Miles stops lowering me when the water reaches my chest, his hands holding me up by my armpits as he watches me, making sure I haven't changed my mind. I give him a silent nod to let him know it's okay, and when he lets go and the ocean's waters fully cover me, the vibrations on my skin stop; instead, I can hear the voices of the sea. A mother dolphin is singing to her newborn baby, a school of fish warns a different school of the fishing boat up ahead, and then there are the sirens singing to me, calling me home. Singing a melody of how the prince has returned without his princess and how their hearts ache, wondering why I don't love the water as I do the surface. I want to call out and res

But now, it all became usual. Now guards don't overreact to us and freely move outside of the room. Pearl started enjoying the new life on the cruise ship. But we are sad as nowhere a land to see. If we can see something around us was only ocean. One day, we were on the board and I saw two dolphins in the ocean. I remembered Candy and Coral. I show those dolphins to Pearl. She chirped happily and started jumping happily. After a few minutes, they came closer to us and shouted, "Candy... Coral..."
