My body felt cold as I woke up and realized that I was still underwater. I realized that as soon as I noticed that I couldn’t use my outer voice. Everything was dark and I could barely feel my body. I tried to recall what happened but every time that I tried to think, my head would start to hurt.
‘Master, you are awake.’ I moved my head to the side only to see Fleex. Well, could barely see him through my blurred vision.
I blinked and squinted my eyes. ‘Fleex? Where are we? Are we moving?’ Even sending my thoughts to communicate was hurting my head that I had to wince. ‘And what happened? Where’s Byron?’
The next day, I was slightly feeling better. But my eyes, on the other hand, were still sore and sensitive that I have to keep on blinking just to moisturize them.Byron was back to his usual active self again and wouldn’t leave my side saying that it is a sibling’s duty to watch over me. I wasn’t really comfortable with having someone shadowing me as closely as Byron was doing, but I guess it’s his way of letting me know that he cares.“How are your eyes?” Skyr asked me as I laid slumped on a seat in the lobby. He stood in front of me and handed Byron and me a sandwich.“Still feels hot, but physically, my body seems to be functioning well.” I prove my point, I got up and began bouncing on my feet. “See? All better.”
“Are you sure that this is the right...cave?” My voice echoed in the dimly lit space as I fought the urge to groan. I am getting sick of caves, but these days, it’s the only thing that I could consider as shelter.Aside from the submarine that is.Whoever says that venturing out into the sea was fun, I would definitely like to meet them and make them live inside of one for a whole month. Underwater caves especially. They’re too damp and most of them smell like moss and dead fish.But who am I to complain when in the wild, caves are the best shelter there is.Though this underwater cave isn’t that bad. It was massive that it doesn’t feel cramped at all. In fact, it was big enough to host our massive submarine. And it also has enough sta
Through the blue hue that the glowworms provided, I could vaguely see the surprised expressions on Skyr and Trei’s face. And I can only assume that I was mirror the same facial expression as them.The only one who seems pretty excited about this news was Byron - as always.“That’s Momo, Kiki, and Dodo!” He exclaimed. Of course. Now I remember him mentioning having three Megalodons that he used to play with since he was a kid. To him, dangerous sea predators are just like having one of the huge breeds of dogs.I had to push Byron back because it seemed like he was going to divert the topic to something different at that moment. “Why would the Megalodons choose this place? And don’t you think that it is a little risky? People could discover that their species still exist!&rdqu
With the help of my father, Skyr was able to formulate a plan. With the ships that the Megalodons have sunk, there’s surely at least one of them that has this so-called detector that Skyr was talking about. He says that it is a special form of device that could track down fellow submarines at a certain distance. It would be really helpful if it can warn us of incoming Atlantean submarines. Of course, we all called him out that the device might work against us since it is some sort of two-way tracker in the first place. But then he brought out the fact that Byron knows his mechanics and could easily reverse engineer the code in order for the transmission to go one-way. I guess that would explain why Byron was able to sneak out easily before while we were in Atlantis. And also the reason why he was heavily guarded despite all of the technology available.
“Skyr, which way?” I leaned myself forward to activate the motion sensors of the jets in my arms to move towards him. Skyr was looking at the holographic map that he each provided each team with.Except for Byron. He’s alone on this task - aside from Fleex, who went with him.“According to the map, we should head East.” Skyr turned to me and waited until I was at his side before he started moving again.“Ugh! Are these the same version of helmets that we once used back in Atlantis?” I frowned at the glass in front of me that was separating my face from the water.“Yeah. Why?” If I hadn’t turned my head to look at Skyr, I wouldn’t have noticed him looking at me.
Skyr and I parted ways after that. Although Momo no longer feels threatened by Skyr, he seems to have taken a liking to him. Despite my instruction to Momo to stay close to me, he still leaves my side from time to time to offer Skyr some or of the damaged equipment that he could find.“Ugh!” I heard Skyr complaining from the intercom, making me stifle a laugh.I swam further down in the water began looking through the piles of broken metal and gadgets. I was becoming concerned about the state of the ocean as debris was distributed in fragments and by parts.“What did Momo bring you this time?” Byron was the one who asked. The others have already met the other Megalodons, and it seems like we were the only ones who had a little bit of trouble with our side. I already updated them about the cur
I followed Hilus, the sea turtle, over the boundary. In that instant, the intercom slowly died down until all I could hold us not to cross. As I did, the intercom slowly died down until all I could hear was static. It got so loud and distracting that I even had to turn it off. I focused my attention on Hilus instead as we got a little further from the boundary. Even with his smaller size, he could still swim faster than me if I hadn’t used my gears. Hilus stopped and pointed beneath us using one of his flippers. ‘Down there, my lord, just between those huge crevices. There’s a huge shiny thing traping my friend on the wall.’ My gaze followed to where he was pointing. Below us was a huge crevice. And it looked deep enough because the light didn’t seem to reflect what
Watson and Emily. They were one of the first Atlantean feist friends that I made along with Jack. Seeing them again for the first time in a while sent me into a blaze of nostalgia. I was having a mixture of feelings as I gazed upon two of my close friends. I was thrilled at the idea that they were alive and well. But yet I was dying out of curiosity if they will become my enemy as Rachel has become. The thought alone made me rooted to my spot, preventing me from engulfing them both in a tight embrace. Watson was the first to leave the submarine. As soon as he was on the seafloor, he looked back and offered Emily a hand but moved it down when he noticed that Emily could move out on her own. Emily let out a yawn and began
