I don’t know why, but when I hear this, this is what I imagine: A group of people, under the water, slowly sinking...a figure appears, and they black out. When they awake, they are under the water, but somehow alive, chained to the bottom by an ankle, floating peacefully. They are in a circle of others, in some sort of ruin of a place once great and known, and a woman with the most beautiful voice they have ever heard is in the center. Everyone is in a trance, and the woman starts circling individual people singing a different song for each until she has finished with that person, and no one can do anything except stare with their eyes half open, as if tired. Somehow, the songs have seemed to heal and awake each person. She finally is done with all of them after about half an hour. She looks around at them, the people at her mercy, and a wave of blue energy emits from her palm, bringing everyone’s chain to her. She starts swimming towards the surface, and for reasons unknown, they can see clearly the beauty of the world they are in. They are at the surface, yet the woman does not go above the water, and she unchains them all. They float on top of the water, the ability to breathe under water now gone. Their last memory is of the woman swimming away, and getting to see her tail, her beautiful tail, as she disappears into the sea, people hauling them up onto a boat, staring in worry at the group as they call for more help. The next thing they know, they are in what seems to be an infirmary, and they all awake at the same time. The group looks all around at each other, knowing what had happened to them was beyond their understanding, knowing now they will never truly reveal the secrets of the deep, of what lies below, or of what happened down there for the ruin to become a ruin in the first place. At that moment, they all make a silent vow to never tell anyone what happened that day, and to never speak of it again, even amongst each other. The group stays in contact with each other, becoming great friends over the years, all remembering that day, but never speaking of it, until they have all passed away. But the woman who saved them that day still lives on, remembering the group, and she smiles to herself, knowing that many more will come in her long life, and knowing she will be there to save them, as the view of her and the ruin of the place of long ago fades away, and they are lost to the endless mystery of the sea. Thank you for reading my story, I hope you have a great day, and who knows, maybe you will have an adventure of your own.
