And this is a short ficcie about Dolphin! Only for Digi-riven!

******

Black Dragons fell from the sky. Injured they were. Not knowing where to hide, no place to go. Until they found the lake.

In they fell and down they swam. Swam downdowndown, little bubbles filled with sulphurous air went upupup. And still down they went. Not knowing where they were and what waited for them in the incredible depth of the lake...

While on the ground of the lake, far far under the dragons, a little palace could be found. A palace of such beauty you wouldn't have expected to find in a more suitable place than this.- An ocean perhaps. And, incredible but true, believe me, inside this palace you could see people.

The people of the sea? The little mermaid even? Just wait! Wait for me to continue.

A strange melody came from the palace down in the lake. It could barely been heard but still existed. A melody you'd have expected last to pour out of that palace as sirup pours out of a bottle and into a cake. A delicious cake tasting so good you can hardly believe it belongs in this world. But I'm drifting apart... A melody... Out of the castle, no, not high up in the sky, but down in that dark lake! And it went like that...

"...under the sea...under the sea...lalalalaa..."

And a mysterious noise, undefinable, could be heard...

"Fishy! Little Mermaid is the Fishiest!"

A singing and dancing beauty, if you could call the moves of her body dancing, was to be found inside the palace, watching...the little mermaid...Strange enough to find a palace on the ground of a lake, but to find a humn looking creature singing under the sea inside of it is definitely too much!

Well, where did I stop? Yes, the Black Dragons diving down and down and down. Hoping to find a place to hide...and finding it.

"There's a palace down there! I can't believe it's true! It can't be, can't be true, but is! And if it's true we're saved, myfriends!"

Thus having spoken the Dragons swam to the palace, entered it, looked around. Curious...Frightened even...

Frightened of whom?

Frightened of her!

The bewitching beauty with the long blue hair, living alone in the depth of the lake, singing "Under the sea" all day long. Living alone...

"Great Master Deep-Sea Dolphin! Where are you?"

Not an answer, no, nothing like that. Only the song, the melody, the "Fishy!", nothing more than that and nothing less. Frightening...

"They say she is insane! Completely nuts. Not right in her mind!"

"Let's go away!"

And then she comes. Appears out of the blue, singing, humming. Looking at them with her big blue eyes, hesitating to come near. Watching them suspiciously. Not profane does she look but sacred! Not like a Mazoku has to look. Not evil, not blood-thirsty. Nothing like the sort. Just friendly, peacefully and perhaps a bit curious.

A whisper from the Dragons. A whisper filling the water around them.

"Can you help?"

"Can you help?"

Only these three words and nothing more they say. No, not say, whisper. You hardly hear it! Be quiet, listen to them, to their question, their three-word-message. Not long yet important.

You want to know if she helped?

Did Deep-Sea Dolphin, one of the Dark Lords, a Mazoku, help the Dragons deep down in the lake, water and water over them, counted drop by drop?

She did.

I know.

I am the last of them. The only one. During the centuries I was the last to stay alive. Now I'm alone!

The palace - empty.

My precious lady - gone.

And me?

I stay down here, down by the castle's side and wait. Wait for my lady to return. And sometimes, only sometimes, I swim upupup to see the humans run away.

"There's Nessie!" I once heard them say...
