Chapter 16
Realm of Water
Rouge was pulled into the darkness and landed on large flat rock sorounded by water. Legolas wasn't far behind her, stepping into the Realm where water was plentiful. There was no land, but there was plenty of pillars that went deep into the water and there tops barely made it over the surface of the water.
"Where is Myian?" Rouge questioned Legolas. She then heard a scream, followed by a girl plunging into the water. Rouge and Legolas walked to the edge of the rock and stared at Myian. She saw them and angrily climbed onto the rock, dripping water.
"Why do il happenings always find my path!?" She screamed.
Rouge giggled and Legolas gave a small, barley visible smile. But his eyes still didn't chnage. Still empty as always, as if they came from this very realm of abundant water.
Rouge summoned a spell that gave a burst of heat, drying most of Myian.
Legolas then felt something coming from the water. Rouge shared this feeling and once again summoned the spikes from her wooden staff. Legolas saw what she had done and drew his knife, and Myain drew her knives also.
They saw a human figure swimming from the depts of the water, and after they waited a while, it reached the surface. It was human, but with one difference, he had a tail like a fish.
Noticing their drawn weapons he spoke. "Greetings... um... I would feel more combfortable talking to you if you would disarm your weapons."
The girls waited for Legolas' reaction. He disarmed his knife, and the girls mimicked his action.
"Who are you?" Rouge questioned him.
"I am Ryken," the man with a tail told them. "I am a merman if you haven noticed already."
Myian had noticed this, but also noticed that he was naked above the torso. She enjoyed eyeing his white hair and blue eyes. His face was very handsome, and his body was well exercised, having muscles to show for it, but nothing to major.
"He then clumsily plopped himslef on the pillar on which they stood, and his tail disappeared giving him a pair of legs covered by lime green leggings. He stood up, Myian's height and looked her into her eyes, she almost passed out.
His curious eyes wandered her face and then to her ears.
"And you, my lady, are half-elf."
Myian smushed her face, checking to see how he knew. She had eleven ears and figure, she couldn't figure it out.
"tI would be your eyes that gave it away I'm afriad," he said with a small smirk. "They tell more about you," he said turning to Legolas and peering into his. "Other than your friends here...," he said trying to figure him out. "His eyes are... empty, keeping everything out of them. How do you do this?" He asked Legolas.
Legolas gave him a confused looked, he had no idea what this creatures was talking about.
"Very well," he said turning to Rouge.
"Ah! Dragon Spawn!" He said with a happy face. "It has been years since my people have seen any. The village was unfortunately invaded. We merfol and Dragon Spawn got along quite well."
Rouge nodded, understanding what he was talking about. Her village had merfolk visit them ever so often. They were fond of the waterfalls that her Dragon Spawn home had within. They also distracted the children long enough for the mothers to finish their cleaning befor they bothered them,
"What is you name, my lady?" He asked Myian. "And why have you come here?"
"I... I... I...," Myian said, still in awe. "I am Myian!" She finally spat out. "This... this... is Legolas and Rouge," she said smitten over his face.
Ryken laughed and nodded. "I know why you are here. Our elder foresaw it in the 'Puddle of Erudition'. Come!" He then jumped into the water, regaining his green scaled tail. He looked up at them, and then remembered they needed air from above water.
"Oh..." he said. "Oh!" He said with more enthusiasm. He pointed to the wall. There was a hole that they had not seen.
"Slide sown that hole and you will reach my city. It is full of air, it is a under water, yet out of water." this confused the trio. "You will see!" He said diving underwater and swimming to the bottom again.
"O'kay... lets give it a try," Myian said, anxious to see Ryken again. She jumped pillars until she came the wall, and without waiting for the others, slid down.
Legolas followed her and Rouge clumsily jumped pillar to pillar until they both reached the hole. It was a steep and narrow slide.
"I... I'm afraid," Rouge told Legolas. He looked at her with disbelief. He then motioned her to sit down in front of him and they would go together.
"Thank You!" She exclaimed, for she was truly scared and was happy to know someone like Legolas would be with her in her time of fear.
He then pushed them both forward, down the smooth and slick slide, turning sharp corners, and falling almost straight down. Rouge shrieked almost the entire time until they flew off the slide, and onto a blanket of soft grass.
Legolas was the first to stand up. He looked at a city of trees, grass, flowers, but also plenty of water. Small pools were everywhere, circled by trees.
But the thing that caught his eye was Myian's attempts to seduce the handsome merman...
