IA is set in a dystopian underwater world, in which the government is secretly taking over. She discovers that she can manipulate water to her will. Can this help her defeat the government or will she need something else?

Chapter 1 - The Dream

Planet Aatronnax - A world filled with water, no land except on the ocean floor. Humans have taken refuge in manmade towers called siphons. Each expanding 1500 meters to the ocean floor. In humanity's history several cities have been constructed with a dome in the middle to house a downtown replication. Each "dome" is surrounded by 20 siphons. In the city of Masakura, Siphon 13 has been condemned to vitrification.

The Tempest - A catastrophic event that leveled the land on Aatronnax that raised the ocean level above all land, while wiping out 60% of the planets population the remaining 40% were forced to rebuild under the surface.

The siphon creaked as she was sleeping in the comfort of her mattress. The eyes from the creature jagged across the window. Studying her and her room. The door to her room slightly open to view her mother and father. The creature dashed to the side of the window while avoiding detection. Waiting for a couple of seconds, the door closed and the creature left the side of siphon into the the trench.

"Aria it's time for school come and eat breakfast" Mom shouted from the kitchen.

"Mom I know I have an alarm clock"

"Alright then , get dressed and hurry on down"

"Alright!"

Looking at the alarm clock ,she thought about dream last night..

Walking onto the ocean floor, looking into the distance a light of low volume hovered just above the ground. Take a step closer the to the light, the light reacted by stepping back.

A dark shadowy figure turned and stood in front of her and the light.

"No matter how much you can do, You cannot save the light"

"Wait what light"

"Only Arayu can save them"

"Whose Arayu and who is them?"

Before she could ask the figure, she heard the sound of mother.

"Aria Violette Zastalya! Get out of bed and Get ready!" yelled her mom.

Taking a deep breath into the cold room. The blankets slowly came off her bed. Losing its grip on her legs , slowly touching the ground. She arose from her bed and started to make her way to her bathroom. "I have so much work to do , why did I ever sign up for all AP" she muttered kicking her school stuff out of the way. Into her bathroom she stared at the mirror to get a glimpse of her reflection. Her left blue eye contrasting with her right green, white hair shifting to the left side of her head.

"Just get through 5 more weeks of this and you're out of here."

Taking off her nightgown she turned to her shower. Raising the level, a stream of cold water started to pour out of the shower head. Quickly she turn the level to the right side to heat up the water,and in less than two minutes her bathroom was full of steam. Putting her hand on the mirror a faint screen appeared on the mirror. Scrolling up and down she was searching for her morning playlist. The music gradually rose up in volume, taking off her undergarments she slowly tiptoed into the shower. Matching with the voice of the artist, slowly she began loose focus of the world and sing "Tell Your World". Her voice was magnificent like a sweet melody being played on a Sunday afternoon.

Coming out of her shower she grabbed her towel and wrap it around her chest. Walking back to her mirror, she wiped her hand on the mirror to reveal her innocent face. Looking for her toothbrush she turn to the mirror and turned to the Kagura News Channel.

"In the city of Gemini , 2 siphons have suddenly collapsed and authorizes are still investigating on the situation. So far no leads have been found and Zero deaths have been reported."

"Wow now Gemini?"

Finishing up her makeup. Aria traveled to her wardrobe to search for her school uniform. Opening the drawer she found an unusual necklace that glowed a faint blue hue. "How the Heck"

Aria quickly inserted the necklace into her front pocket. She rushed down the stairs to greet her mother and father.

"Hello Mom"

"Hello Sweetie" Her mother replied.

"Hello Daddy"

"Hello."

"Did you hear about the siphons in Gemini?"

" Yes I did and frankly me and your Uncle are going to Gemini to repair them and install a new safety barrier."

" Are you going to leave home again?

"Sorry but yes honey, I will be there for only about at week.

"Alright, You do know what the weekend is right?"

"Who couldn't forget it's my daughters 18th birthday"

Aria blushed "Mom told you didn't she?"

"No that's preposterous"

Mother made a B face to Father and stepped on his toe.

IIIII YAHHHHHH! Her Father exclaimed!

"Oh you're funny Dad!" Aria chuckled

"well I have to proceed to the work site, be a good girl and if you need anything just call me."

"Oh tell Uncle Manta I said HI!"

"Will do!" Her father, shutting the door behind him.

Aria still consuming her breakfast she looked into Grand Living Room. The Living room was extravagant the middle of the room was lower than the original floor. 3 steps lead to the lowest point of the middle ring. A round coffee table that held a hologram like photo album containing the family portraits. Surrounding the table were 3 curved couches. Almost resembling a radioactive sign from above. There her schoolbag was laying vertical to the couch.

Closing her door to her abode, Aria was greeted by a female figure across the hallway. The figure was the same height as her but more slender. As the figure stepped closer to her she could see the outfit that the figure was wearing,with typical dress shoes that had a high reflective gloss. Her legs were covered by black leggings. The waist was covered by loosely fit belt. Then her chest came into view a white button up with short sleeves followed by a teal tie just like Aria's. Finally her face came into view. Though a very small figure for her face, her large but bright cyan colored eyes compensated for it. Her hair was split into twin tails and her hair color matched with her eyes.

On the badge of the lanyard said a name "Mayura Hatsune" and on the upper right hand corner was a little side note saying "Aria's BFFL :DD".

"Hey there!" said Mayura

"Hey Whats up?" Aria replied back.

"You know the usual getting ready for another boring day at school, forgetting to do last nights homework y'know same same."

" I feel you"

"Hey lets hurry to the tram stations before the security gates are up again."

Aria and Mayura gradually made their way down the siphon elevators to proceed to the security gates. Looking outside the elevator windows, the dark terrain of the ocean floor covered the landscape of Masakura. On the right side of the elevator were siphons 18 & 19. Vice versa for the left side of the elevator with siphons 15 & 16. Now looking at the middle of the elevator window was the Masakura Dome. The dome resembled a brightly lit lantern with multiple colors displaying a rainbow.

"It's amazing, I'm always in an awe everyday to see Masakura." Said Mayura

"Same here I can't believe we made it this far since the tempest."

the elevator came to a stop as the sight of the dome vanished. Now came the tram station where everyone was either to or came from the upper rooms of the siphons. Opening the elevator door revealed the lobby. The lobby was quite enormous, it had 3 giant openings that lead towards 3 other locations, first being to Masakura, and the other opposite pipes lead to siphons 16 & 18.

Both Aria & Mayura made way to the tram station. The grand lobby was an estimated size of Grand Central Station. 3 large tunnels of the station opened to the a rail system in which 2 sets of tracks laid side by side. The girls began to walk within the crowd. In the front of the each tunnel was a ticket booth for each tram.

"Two tickets for tram Alpha to the Masakura" said Aria.

"Ok girls let me see your ID's" replied the ticket holder.

"You known us for so long Mako!"

"That's true but it a protocol with y'know...the system"

"Alright alright here you go"

"Thanks girls, okay give me one moment."

Both girls could see their faces on the hologram. Then a green check mark both appeared on the top of their pictures.

"Thanks for the wait girls and have a safe day."

"Thanks" said Aria.

The girls both entered the tram to find it was just the two of them. Sitting in the middle of the tram, Mayura lowered her head on to Aria's shoulder, while she was on her phone.

"Me and Mayura just chilling in the tram right before school." She posted on the Taeshi social website. Putting an earbud in, Aria too laid her head on Mayura's head and both closed their eyes…
