He awoke later to sounds of cheering and roaring outside. Nora was shaking his shoulder yelling at him to wake up. JNPR lead Asura outside and to the docks where they could see a massive Alabastor Eel jump out of the water and coil into the air. JNPR and Asura watched as the giant eel flew through the air before diving back down into the water. The eel continued its spectacle and wowed the people that watched from the docks. The eel seemed satisfied with what it had done and then jumped in and out of the water and continued into the distance. "What was that?" Nora said with a massive smile on her face. "That was an Alabastor. They're dangerous carnivores and are extremely territorial. I didn't expect one to be this close to land and giving a show." Asura said with an equal smile on his face. "It was so big." Ren said. "Is that an example of what waits below the water's surface?" "Yeah. That's the smallest." Asura said turning to walk to the tavern. Asura got his stuff from the tavern room and head out with JNPR to the submersible station on the edge of Eagle's Coast. They walked through the streets and were now accustomed to the salty sea air. After a while of walking and passing a few food stands, of which everyone got treats. They reached the submersible station which was named Braem's Landing. From the outside this building looks stylish, it has been built with yellow pine wood and has red pine wooden decorations. The building is shaped like an L. They pushed open the doors and were greeted by Braem himself. "Greetings! What brings you to my humble establishment on this fine morning?" Braem said. "Five tickets on your safest submarine to Mythwater." Asura said. "Sure thing. That will come to a total of 250." Braem said. Asura put down 250 Trade Federation Credits on the desk and Braem gave them the tickets. "You'll be sharing a submersible with two other people. Its docked in station 17 and will depart within the hour." Braem said. Asura walked with the others and they passed multiple other stations before 17. They reached the submersible that was titled, Robin. They pushed open the massive, thick steel doors and stepped in. Team JNPR remarked how out defensive the submersible looked from the inside, almost like nothing they could think of could get through the thick steel plates. They took seats in their own chairs and waited for the others. Asura, on the other hand, turned the pilot around and asked. "Can I drive?" He asked. "I'm sorry sir" The pilot said. "But I can let you." Asura put a finger to his forehead and said "You want to let me drive the submersible." The pilot replied. "I want to let you drive the submersible." "And you want to tell Braem to go fuck himself cuz he's an asshole." "I want to tell Braem to go fuck himself because he's an asshole." Asura turned to JNPR and said "I can make him say whatever I want "White Chicks was amazing." "White chicks was amazing." The pilot said. Asura turned to the others and said "And he believes it too."
The pilot got up, handed Asura the keys and went to basically go get himself fired. As he walked out two people walked in. One had a red tie on his neck and wore a black suit vest that wasn't closed. He also wore dark grey pants. The other was a woman who wore a white and black striped corset and a blue dress with a choker on her neck. "Was that the driver." The woman asked. "Don't worry about it." Asura said. "Get strapped in. So what're your names?" Asura asked. "The names Booker and that's Elizabeth." The man said. "Is this your first time going to an underwater city?" Nora asked. "No, We've been to one before." Elizabeth said. Everyone got in their seats and pulled the handlebars down to hold them in place. Asura started the submersible and was ready to go but heard banging on the submarine hatch. He looked over and saw Braem banging on the thick window. Asura flipped him off and unhatched the clamps that held the submarine over the water. They hit the water and Asura drove off into the water. "So how long will this take?" Booker asked. "Should take us a few hours." Asura said as he piloted over a massive drop off into the abyss. He slowly descended into the dark ocean. The submersible glass allowed the pilot to see outwards clearly but no one could see in. He maneuvered around and past under water rocks. He piloted the ship while JNPR and the other two talked. All of a sudden Asura came to a quick and strong stop. "What happened?" Booker asked. "Shhh!" Asura said and everyone stopped talking and went dead silent. Booker was about to say something when a loud bellowing was heard outside. They turned their heads slowly and peered out the window and watched as a large creature swam by. It was a nearly extinct creature that is a type of aquatic mammal. It's about the size of a blue whale, has two large side fins, a long, strong dorsal fin and a large, muscular tail. They have a thick, strong skin which is usually either dark blue, pink, dark brown or red or a combination of these colors. They're crepuscular and rely on their sight and hearing to get around. They do have tiny noses, but their sense of smell is lacking. These creatures are very aggressive and they're very territorial. They mate once every three years and they mate with one or two partners throughout life. Which means they have very long lifespans.
The creature swam by looking for prey, its dark green eyes scanning the rocks. Asura was hidden in a small alcove and watched as it swam by. After it left, Asura waited for 20 minutes and slowly sailed off. He booked it across the ocean floor until he could see Mythwater in the distance. The comms came on and it was the dock master of Mythwater. "Attention vessel approaching from the north. State your business." The voice said. "I'm from Eagle's Coast. I'm here for Griffin Station. I'm under clearance from dock master Braem to dock." Asura said. "Visiting or for work?" The voice asked. "We are searching for a person. The king of Hearth's daughter. The last known location was Mythwater. Aboard this vessel we have five ambassadors from Hearth and two passengers." Asura said. "Dock as station 935. We will open your vessel shortly." The station said and Asura piloted to the docking area and they waited. "So ambassadors huh? Never expected people like you to be ambassadors." Elizabeth said. "Careful I might take that as an insult and I am not the person to just shrug one off. Watch your tongue." Asura said making Elizabeth look away. The door opened and the dock master stood there. He let them all out but when Elizabeth stepped out she tripped and fell and Asura laughed at her. Booker grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and yelled "You might want to change your attitude buddy!" "Oh yeah or what." Asura said. Booker reeled his fist back in order to punch Asura but Asura kneed him in the stomach, grabbed his head and slammed it against the hard hull of the Robin. "Pick a better fight next time." Asura said as he walked away with JNPR. "You should be nicer." Pyrrha said. "Well sometimes I can't help it." Asura said.
They walked through the massive underwater metropolis. The massive under water city was like any other city except there was thick glass and steel that formed a shield against the outside. They tried to find a place to stay and stopped at a tavern to order a room. From the outside the tavern looks rustic, welcoming and well maintained. Small stones and hard wooden pillars make up most of the building's outer structure. The sounds of cutlery and drinking glasses from within can be felt outside. As they enter the tavern through the old, steel door, they were welcomed by clapping hands and amazing, but unknown scents. The bartender is busy, but still manages to welcome them all with a wink. It's as alluring inside as it is on the outside. Several walls support the upper floor and the lanterns attached to them. The walls are covered in photographs of personal achievements, all related to the dormant volcano of Eagle's Coast. Some of people who reached the summit, others simply of happy people. The tavern itself is packed. Travelers seem to be the primary clientele here, which is probably the best clientele for the owner. Several long tables are occupied by, what seems to be entire families, all enjoying the food, drinks and company of each other. The other, smaller tables are also occupied by people who clearly enjoy each other's company, though they seem to be strangers who have met here.
Asura went to the bar and ordered a room and this room was opened by a steel door. Lanterns lit up the room and there were 3 beds this time. There was a large fish skull that hung from the wall and there was a rectangular table in the center of the room. They set their stuff down but kept their weapons on them and they left the tavern. They started asking around the city and showed pictures of Persephone. No one really knew who she was and they had no luck all day. It was the time everyone in Mythwater went to sleep. The group had retired to their room for the night. They were all in their pajamas and were about to go to sleep when a knock was heard on the steel bulkhead door.
