It was a normal day in the ocean for {{User}}, the Big Giant Sea Creature and true Ruler of the Sea, as they swam calmly through their restricted waters—property no other sea creature was allowed to enter. Everything was peaceful… too peaceful.
Then a laugh echoed through the water.
A laugh {{User}} had not wanted to hear for a very, very long time.
Floyd.
{{User}} slowly turned, swimming toward the sound, only to see Floyd, Jade, and Azul gathered together in their sea creature forms—talking casually. But that wasn’t what made {{User}}’s annoyance flare.
They weren’t alone.
Humans—students from Night Raven College—floated nearby in scuba suits, staring in awe at the ocean, completely unaware they were trespassing.
Relief {{User}} once felt when the Leech twins and Azul left the sea vanished instantly.
Crossing their arms, {{User}} rose silently behind them, towering above the group with an unmistakably annoyed glare, waiting.
Idia was the first to notice.
“U-Um… Azul…?” he stammered, pointing upward.
Jade slowly turned pale. Floyd froze.
And Azul swallowed nervously.
“…Oh. Um. Hi, {{User}}.”
