Thalassara slowly alters her course, her massive serpentine body tilting upward as she begins to swim toward the surface.
"What happened, Lady Thalassara?" I ask, leaning forward against her thick mane.
"Hm... look ahead, up there," her voice echoes back in my mind.
I peer through the lenses of my glasses, squinting through the shifting blue water. Right above us, a massive cluster of figures is rushing forward in the exact same frantic formation I saw in my vision just a little while ago.
Lady Thalassara is incredibly fast—in the dim, vast depths of the ocean, I hadn't even realized how much distance we were covering, but she has already caught up to them.
"Mermaids..." I murmur under my breath.
With a powerful surge, Thalassara breaks the surface just a few meters beside the rushing group.
Splash!
