    Open Chronicles The Gem of the Sea

    "No, I don't," just go swim back to that witch's cave, Ana thought bitterly to herself. Her words were half a lie. She didn't know the way back to Petra's but she could have found the way easily enough. Her song left an echo of sorts - it meant she could follow those whom she had placed under...

    Open Chronicles The Gem of the Sea

    Ana kept swimming but it was hard to lose someone in the shadows when your scales were the colours of warmer coral shores. Instead she settled for trying to ignore the ray altogether which was increasingly hard as she caught her up and prattled on. "There is no discussion. Go and ask her for...

    Open Chronicles The Gem of the Sea

    Andromeda might have hesitated. She might have helped - a vial of blood wasn't a lot after all. But not with Petra looking at her like that. "No," she was steadily making her way for the door so that when she spoke she could seize a hole of the door handle. "I'm sorry, I am, it sucks what...

    Open Chronicles The Gem of the Sea

    Andromeda slowly arched a slender brow. Any comradeship she had thought she had felt to Ti'Jan faded into the aether. Hiding for her life was a far cry from hiding from a birthday celebration. There was probably going to be cake and who on Arethil ran away from cake even if you did have to wear...

    Ana drifted over to a swing that hung from the ceiling, letting her colourful fins push her back and forth in a lazy motion. "It was certainly more... excitement than I expected," she mused. Danger wasn't normally something that worried her; she had grown up a pirate captain's daughter after...

    Andromeda let out a breath she hadn't realised she had been holding. "I guess that answers that question," she muttered under her breath as the guards left. It had been a heads of tails situation as to whether it would - she had never tried it on one of her own kind before, but that didn't mean...

    Open Chronicles The Gem of the Sea

    Ana stiffened when Petra pulled her close to deal with her wound, though she relaxed when the ointment the woman smeared on her only tingled a little bit. She had half expected it to turn her into a guppy or something. As soon as she was finished she shot off back to her safe little corner and...

    Open Chronicles The Gem of the Sea

    A secret? Ana shifted uncomfortably thinking what would class as a secret to strangers who barely knew her. Nothing too big - his didn't seem like a big secret. Whoever he was. Prince... That's what she had said but was the name he had given her a lie too or was that the truth? She shot him a...

    Open Chronicles The Gem of the Sea

    As soon as she was released Ana darted back to her small cubby hole amongst the nick nacks and oddities that decorated Petra's home. A small part of her wondered whether she would become one of the odd little collections. The pounding of her heart however did not go far to drown out Hali's words...

    Open Chronicles The Gem of the Sea

    Petra's tentacle coiled about her like a viper. Despite its warmth she shuddered as every tiny little sucker rolled over her, smelling her, tasting her. Ana wasn't sure why but she was sure that the woman would have been able to follow her trail no matter how far she swam now. She tried to...

    Well that was unnerving... Andromeda tried to keep her eyes from popping out of their sockets as the woman turned to regard them both whilst her... tentacles continued their dutiful tending to the-- "Prince?" she squeaked. Coral eye flashed first to the man writhing in Petra's black coils and...

    Ana, too, kept to the sunny waters as they swam further into the city. Every shadow had her imagining teeth and hurried her pace after the duo. Now the adrenaline was wearing off the Siren was questioning her choices in coming to this city and seeking out the darker parts first of all. She knew...

    "No I en't," Ana rubbed her arms and glanced back over her shoulder towards the ominous tunnel from which was coming that soft, alluring glow once more. Her usual swim spots were shallower or in the hotter coral reefs; shadow eels would have a hard time finding somewhere to lurk in those waters...

    Teeth as long as her tail suddenly gnashed towards the two merfolk who had been stupid enough to enter the tunnel. Ana screamed and narrowly avoided one set of jaws only to find herself almost in another set. The eels worked as a team to try and trap their prey within the coils of their long...

    Open Chronicles The Gem of the Sea

    "What?" Ana half turned to look in the direction her two new acquaintances were hiding from. That in itself wasn't new, anyone in a joint like this probably wasn't on the good side of anything, but it was always interesting to see what kind of authority sent other people scurrying. She was...
