Preface

It started with a dream.

I was swimming. The water was crystal clear with a slight tint of pink and I could see rainbow- coloured fishes and corals on the shallow bed of the sea. I could breathe in the water, and my body felt light and tingly.

I swam until I reached the end of the reef, where the sea bed plunged into a black pit.

I stared into the depths, feeling puzzled. Why was there a speck of light glowing from the bottom?

Something drew me to it, and I started swimming to it, despite the fear growing in me. I held on to my keys tightly just in case something unpleasant came this way.

Small streams of bubbles were surfacing from the light, each bubble passing through me. My gaze followed the bubbles, towards the suface- which was when I realized that I had a tail! I was... a mermaid?

The realization triggered a wave of energy and courage which swept through me giving me strength. I geared up and sped towards the light, determined to reach it quickly.

The speck grew and grew, until I saw that it was a huge blue bubble, glowing in the middle of nowhere. In the very middle of it, there was the silhouette of a man. I stopped in front of the bubble, wondering what it was. Slowly, I put my hand into it. Air. It was filled with air. But… my tail.

"Erza…"

I tensed. That voice!

"Erza…" It came once more, a whisper, full of pain and longing.

With a swish of my tail, I propelled myself towards the bubble and fell into it. I couldn't walk with a tail so I crawled towards the figure, leaving a trail of water behind.

"Erza…"

I got closer and closer, and then, I stopped, stunned.

He was floating in the middle of the bubble, his arms spread wide and his head bent slightly downwards.

Jellah?
