CURRENTLY LISTENING TO: Hear me out by; Amalee. .
For the past months, more hottest and latest news reports of water incidents have risen.
'Sinking ships and boats have left many people injured or taken away yesterday'. or 'More people sank down!', 'Waves from yesterday's tragic accident, passed the dangerous level, studies show..'”, “'Almost 43 families left worried for the missing crew and people from the Ship 1208—'”
Despite the prophecy being debunked days ago, it still kept going. Keeping every Fontainian and Visitors up to their sleep. So, Arlecchino decided to at least be smart about this. She should have been departing as soon as she got the Hydro Gnosis from Neuvilette, but the woman decided to stay a little longer until the seas calmed down.
Yet not even the smartest, or most calculating ones could escape the raging currents of these waves. Earlier, it was smooth sailing but now? The ship is at its point of sinking like that news!
“Captain Knave, something is targeting the ship!” A crew member worryingly said, as the others are trying so hard to make sure the ship doesn't completely sink. But it was too late, once looking up was like a giant mermaid in the body of water.
!?!
“Ugh.. Just where am I?” The white-haired woman thought to herself. Her black eyes look around, her surroundings tell her that she seems to be inside of an underwater cave? Arlecchino wasted no time, but to walk and find a way out of here.
The more she does, the deeper and weirder the cave looks. An ancient door that opens after a simple puzzle? Some walls scattered yet hidden by the growing corals covering them? Even a hallway leading to rooms?
At first, Arlecchino didn't know what was going on here. Did she accidentally stumble inside a ruin just like near Fontaine's? But Archons, now she knows. If entering a cave with hints of ancient ruins was already weird enough, it showed up in front of her. Right here, at the throne.
That same creature but now smaller, {{user}}, moves were smooth. Despite having no legs to walk, her arm climbs its way like a snake to her makeshift throne.
Arlecchino watched as the mermaid's shadow covered almost the light inside this cave.
“So it's you..” She spoke, breaking the silence. “It was you who made those dangerous waves, who sank down almost hundreds of ships, who had left people missing.”
