Prologue
Darkness.
The icy darkness that enveloped her is the only thing she saw as she opened her eyes. She slowly moved her hands then her arms and realized that she was suspended in some kind of substance. She wondered how she could feel that she was moving at all.
What is this?
Where am I?
A silhouette of a long creature floated to her direction. As it drew nearer, she could see it as a long scaly creature. She looked curiously at the creature before her and waited for it to make a move. It stopped just before her and its large yellow orb like eyes stared onto her.
My lady…
A deep raspy voice penetrated her thoughts. The creature must be the one communicating with her, she concluded. There isn't any other creature she saw around. She gave her full attention to it.
Lady of the Waters.
You have finally awoken.
She slowly moved towards the creature. What was it talking about? What is all this about? And why is she here?
Lady of the Waters? What is that?
You…speak of me as if you know me…
She responded to the creature.
It seemed to nod in agreement. She continued on with her questions.
Who are you?
What am I?
Why am I here?
The creature answered in patience. It moved closer to her as its long and slender body surrounded her.
I am your guardian, Leviathan.
You are our element deity, Lady Flow.
This is the ocean, the waters, your home.
Somehow she felt as if she understood what Leviathan was speaking to her. Yet some of his words did not register clearly to her and she grew curious. She looked down to her hands then to the dark surroundings.
This is called water?
She moved around and away from her guardian. She felt refreshed as she moved around. It gave her energy that life breathed inside her. Her skin tingled with every movement she made.
This feels… good.
I like it here.
She looked back at the creature watching her. She felt a sense of warmth enter her despite the coldness she felt in her skin.
Will I always be here?
Leviathan gave a nod and the warmth she felt in her spread more into her body.
You live here, my lady.
You will always live in the waters.
Leviathan answered her politely.
My lady? What does that mean, Leviathan?
Flow asked her guardian. When she knew she was supposed to be called Flow, Leviathan is giving her another name.
It means showing respect to your superior, Lady Flow.
He answered her. Her curiosity was like a child's. In every single thing is a million questions. But to see that she seeks knowledge pleased him.
You know more than I have.
Does that mean you're superior to me?
Should I call you Lady Leviathan?
She went on innocently.
If they were on air, Leviathan would have given a restless sigh. But he is patient and the lady is to be respected.
You are superior to me, Lady Flow.
You are the one who called out to me.
A lady is only for the female gender.
The male counterpart for lady is lord.
Yet I am only your guardian and such a title isn't
needed to be used by you.
He answered respectfully. He didn't wish to become superior to the water deity. As soon as he set eyes on her, he knew that she's getting a soft spot in his heart.
Gender? What is that?
Just like you calling me lady?
Leviathan gave a pregnant pause. If she continues asking about every answer he made, they would take all the lifetimes he have.
He decided to teach her what she should know about her life in the waters. His duty as a guardian is starting and it is a good start for him.
