"By the Kraken's ugly face! What!" I shouted answering the bubble. I blocked one of the siren's claws. "Madam Edlin a werewolf here to see you and she says it is important." Said the bubble's recorded voice. I stabbed one of the sirens through the chest. The other let out an enraged shriek. She started singing. I swim toward her in a fake daze. She smiled a sharp tooth grin. When I was within striking distance I lunged. My sword went through her stomach. "Sorry, sweetheart I'm a woman," I said yanking my sword back. I let my sword return to the water. I an air bubble out of my mouth and caught it in my hands. "On my way," I said into the bubble. "Send to the original message sender," I said letting the bubble go. It zoomed off caught in the message current. I swam after it at a much slower pace./p

"Where is this werewolf?" I called out. "She refused to come into the water." A servant answered. I scoffed, "Typical." I swam up to the surface where all trade deals were made. I climbed onto the platform and waited for my legs to appear. They appeared along with a pair of dark purple traveling pants. I hurried to the center of the platform where a small hut was. I walked inside and sitting there playing with a knife was the werewolf. She was dressed in all black with a blood red cloak. I could see her glowing yellow eyes even in the shadow of the hood. "Who are you?" I asked. "Neta. I'm an assassin belonging to no realm and no one." The werewolf said. "What brings you to the water realm Neta," I asked. "A prophecy," Neta said. "A prophecy? Not that prophecy?" I asked worriedly. "Yes, the Darkening is upon us," Neta said. I sighed, I had known for a long time that I was the knight of the water the prophecy had signaled out. "Who else must we find?" I asked. "The Elven Queen Nínimel and the cloud dancer Allzeh," Neta said. "An elf and an Aurea? Great! Why don't we throw a pixie into the mix!" I shouted frustrated. "You are missing the important details. The elf is a queen and the Aurea is a famous dancer with plenty of connections to the wind realm's government. " Neta said. I just shook my head. "The elves are peaceful beings, great when their own needs are threatened and excellent allies, but not ones for quests. The aurei are very laid back and are more concerned with parties and celebrations than with battles and adventures." Neta nodded, "That is why we need them. People will trust them!" "You're right, I don't think people will be very friendly to a werewolf or a mermaid on land," I said nodding in agreement. "Good, pack your things we leave tomorrow for the Forest Castle." The werewolf said. "What time?" I asked. "Noon."/p
