Axarion's POV
Three days.
She has kept herself in that room for three days.
What if she is right?
What if she is the wrong one?
What if there's been a mistake?
Well, if she's not, we are doomed. It's too late now to search for any other.
She's got to be the one.
And if she is... The only problem is getting her to face the fact.
And eventually, the Delomcis...
I feel so sorry for her.
Why did I have to get her mixed up in all this?
Oh right.
Because if I hadn't, the Delomcis would take over all of the ocean and once all the animals and people are eaten from down here, they will be forced to move on, to the land. And then no one would be safe.
I just wish it didn't have to be her.
Why can't it be me?
I would trade everything I ever had, including my life, to switch places with her.
Well, this silence from her has got to end. We don't know when the Delomcis will break through, but they are getting stronger every day. Who knows how long we have?
We must find out if she is the one.
And there is only one way to do that.
I smiled slightly.
And I have the perfect person to do it. Since the last person Aquema would want to see right now, is me. That leaves me with one good choice.
Quesia.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^*******************^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Aquema's POV
I don't know what came over me.
I just freaked.
The things...Delomcis he called them... They seem so horrid and evil. And creepy.
I'm not a fighter. I'm just a girl from California.
Nothing special.
I'm an outcast.
I can't do this.
How on earth would I ever be able to save these people?
I have to go home. As soon as I can. I can't stay here any longer.
I've got to get back so I can...
What?
So I can go back to being shunned and hated?
Why would I go back to that?
On the other hand, it would be better than being killed by zombie fish...
Ugh. I've got to face it. I'm stuck here, underwater.
But I must make it clear to Axarion that I'm not the one he's looking for. He must have made a mistake or something.
Yeah. That's it. He's gotten the wrong person.
I mean, just because I'm the only mermaid with this color tail doesn't mean I'm the one.
There could be so many shades of blue that the 'one' could have.
He's going to be devastated when he sees this is true.
Maybe I can make it up to him by helping him search for the real hero..?
Somehow, I doubt that will even come close to making it up to him...
The door behind me, closed.
"Is it because of the Delomcis?"
I sighed, closing my eyes. "No, Quesia. It's not."
"I'm not the one. I can't do this. I'm sorry, but Axarion has gotten the wrong person. I can't help you and your city.."
"We will see about that."
What?
I turned around to face her.
Her eyes were burning with some kind of flame and knowledge I had never seen before.
What is going on?
Her light pink spear was perched in her right hand.
"What are you doing Quesia...?"
"I'm finding out if you are the one to save us."
"How are you going to do that...? Killing me?"
"Your hiding something from us Aquema." She casually swam around, examining her spear. "Even from yourself. You are determined, and defiant. You will not go without a fight. The only question is," she looked at me in the eyes now. "how hard are you willing and able to fight?"
Is she going to try and kill me?
Oh my gosh I'm gonna die..
"Quesia-"
She cut me off. "Hold out your hand Aquema."
She continued to stare me in the eyes, her own eyes were glowing.
Uncertain, I obeyed.
"Focus on it. Now ask for your spear."
What?
"Do it."
Has she gone nuts?
I starred at my hand, and somehow, a rising power flowed from my, chest down to my arm, and settled on my hand. It swirled around, I silently said 'give me my spear'.
The power swirled. It molded into a long line. Hardening, it formed.
In my hand was a turquoise blue spear.
I gasp!
How did I do that!?
"How-"
Before I could ask how I did that, Quesia lunged at me.
Yes! She lunged at me!
I ducked to the right, avoiding the point of her spear by inches.
"What was that about!?"
She didn't answer. Only lunged again.
I managed to dodge it again, the spear barely missing my tail.
Fire burned in me.
I felt strength and confidence grow in me.
This time, when she attacked, I was prepared.
She jabbed her pink spear at me.
I raised my own and swung it against hers.
They hit with a clang!
We paused. Quesia smirked evily.
Then it went full out.
She attempted again, and I shielded myself. Pushing her away using my spear, she flung across the room.
We quarreled with the weapons again.
She couldn't touch me with hers. And I wasn't even attempting to harm her.
Maybe I should...
I mean, she attacked me! She's trying to kill me!
"No Aquema. Don't hurt her.."
The voice in my head was back.
Knowing now that it was always right, I didn't attempt to strike back.
We fought more. And the more we fought, the stronger I got. And the better I got.
Power was sweeping through my veins.
I have never felt so alive.
My spear collided with hers, sending her spear tumbling to the ground.
I raised my spear in front of me, ready to defend myself again.
That's when I saw it.
I gasped and almost dropped my own spear.
I looked from it, to Quesia, and back.
She was panting heavily, and first looked surprised, then, it turned into a satisfied smirk.
My spear.
It's glowing.
The blue was radiant.
Light seemed to pulse off of it.
The same with my tail.
It burned with power unknown to any other mermaid.
What's happening?
"Axarion." Quesia softly called.
Axarion stepped through the door at her signal, obviously, he had seen the whole thing.
He was smiling.
My eyes were still glued to my tail and spear.
Slowly, something changed.
Along the sides of my tail, and on my spear, gold markings started to appear.
Greek symbols..
They got brighter, until they were glowing as bright as the blue.
What the crap?!?
I looked up at Axarion. "What was that all about!? Why did she attack me!? And why do I have gold on my spear and my tail!?!?"
He simply smiled a little wider. "You are the one."
