It was hours after the party had ended and the time when Duo, Youko, and Youko's sisters went to the surface, legitimately this time. Youko was just as enraptured by the smell, sight, and feeling of the surface wind and moon, as she was the first time she visited. She sighed, thinking of that she had thought about the blond human. Her sisters had noticed the sigh and asked what was wrong.
"I am thinking of the human boy again. I want to see him."
Indias quickly remembered what she had meant to tell her sister before their father had interrupted them. "Youko... Duo... I know where they live. I had the dolphins find them." she said, getting the full attention of the group. She told them what the dolphins had told her. "By their description you gave me the dolphins matched them up. They are to the land kingdom, just a bit north and aways east of here."
Youko and Duo gave a loud whoop of joy and wanted to visit the kingdom, but Coral stopped them.
"DON'T. It would take FAR to long to go visit them at the moment. We wouldn't make it back home before the sea witch caused a storm. Father and Grandmother would punish us if anything happened on the 'first' time to the surface. We go to the surface EVERT night. We can go there tomorrow. The dolphins can give us a ride. We would make much better time this way, now just enjoy the moon and the wind. Last time you were distracted by the ship. This time listen to the wind, and see if you can match it's song with your voice."
Youko felt the wind caress her skin, feeling the warm and the cold at the same time. Feeling the wind gently breeze across her skin as if the wind was a long lost lover. As the moon shone down upon her making her feel safe in its soft glow. She nodded to Coral and took a deep breath, letting the surface air fill her lungs and let out her clear voice. She sang quietly, as if too afraid to let it be heard by another, making it seem to grow loud then soft again as the wind would.
They
say a restless body can hide a peaceful soul.
A voyager, ad a
settler, they both have a distant goal.
If I explore the heavens,
or if I search inside.
Well, it really doesn't matter as long as I
can tell myself
I've always tried.
Like a roller in the
ocean, life is motion
Move on
Like a wind that's always
blowing, life is flowing
Move on
Like the sunrise in the
morning, life is dawning
Move on
How I treasure every
minute
Being part of it, being in it
With the urge to move
on
I've traveled every country, I've traveled in my mind
It
seems we're on a journey, a trip through space and time
And
somewhere lies the answer
To all the questions why
What really
makes the difference
Between all dead and living things, the will
to stay alive
Like a roller in the ocean, Life is motion
Move
on
Like a wind that's always blowing, Life is flowing
Move
on
Like the sunrise in the morning, Life is dawning
Move on
How I treasure every minute, Being part of it
Being in it, With the urge to move on
The morning breeze that
ripples the surface of the sea
The crying of the seagulls that
hover over me
I see it and I hear it
But how can I explain
The
wonder of the moment
To be alive, to feel the sun that follows
every rain
Like a roller in the ocean, Life is motion
Move
on
Like a wind that's always blowing, Life is flowing
Move
on
Like the sunrise in the morning, Life is dawning
Move on
How I treasure every minute
Being part of it, Being in
it
With the urge to move on
[fade
La la la la la la-la,
Like a wind that's always blowing
La la la la la la-la
Life
is flowing
La la la la-la (move on)
Like the sunrise in the
morning
La la la la la la-la
life is dawning
La la la la-la
(move on)
How I treasure every minute
Being part of it, Being
in it
With the urge to move on
La la la la la la-la,
Like a
wind that's always blowing...
She held it out until she chocked from lack of air. Duo was surprised. She hadn't sang like that before. The song felt as if the wind was singing to her, letting her in on every little secret it carried. The moon showed the face of his friend, it was soft and serene. If Duo had the means to capture the moment forever he would have, but he didn't.
Her sisters were stunned. Their sister was the envy of the each of them. But they were all proud then to be her sisters. Youko could be the envy of the sea, and now they knew why she hadn't sang that often in front of them. They would want to see her preform on stage, and Youko's life would have never been this joyful.
Tonights trip was soon over and the seven sisters and Duo had enjoyed the night like it should have been for a first trip to the surface. Youko's sisters had done a excellent job on keeping Youko and Duo's minds off of their human crushes. On the way back Youko kept glancing back, wanting to go see the blond human. None of her sisters took notice, but Duo did.
