The fall lasted only seconds before I began sinking through the water. My eyes were still closed and suddenly the connection snapped into place. I was bombarded by sensations, the feel of the water against my skin. I could feel it flowing over and around me, caressing me. The water was warm and comforting. The connection was loving and accepting, embracing me like a long-lost friend, and I could feel joy thrumming through me. I smiled, enjoying the experience. The feelings were freeing and I never wanted it to end.

A surge of water startled me and my eyes flew open just in time to see Nuri sinking down to float in front of me with a pleased grin upon his face. I beamed at him as he drew closer. I knew you could do it, Elara. Well done.

I tried to gasp, but there was no air to gasp on. Did he just speak to me? I hadn’t seen his lips move at all, so how could I have heard him?

I am a creature of water, Elara. You are connected to water and by extension me, which allows for telepathic communication.

“What?” I said out loud and a deluge of bubbles escaped my mouth.

Try not to speak. When connected to water, your need for air has lessened, but best not to waste what you have. Just direct your thoughts at me and I will hear them.

That strangely made sense. “I did it? I connected to water?” I asked, directing my thoughts to Nuri floating before me.

Yes! You did it, Elara. I’m so proud of you, he said with a huge smile on his face. I then noticed his teeth appeared sharp.

I shook off my random thought and tried to focus. What now? I asked him, swirling my hand through the water, enjoying the way water felt to me now.

There is much I can teach and show you, but first I’d like you to meet someone if you’re up to it.

I shrugged and nodded my assent. It was probably a kelpie friend of his. He reached for my hand and I grasped his without hesitation, completely trusting Nuri as he began to swim deeper into the pool.

The water was clear and easy to see through. I glanced around, distracted by the underwater sights. The rock formations were incredible. They rose up from deep below and reached for the surface, only to be bombarded by the falling water. Nuri went around an especially big boulder and I saw a natural rock arch. We headed toward the arch. Nuri pulling me along with powerful strokes, and we reached it within seconds.

We floated there in the still clear water, just gazing at the arch. It appeared to be a natural stone arch formed by the waterfall nearby. Almost giddy with my new connection to water, I reached out. The water had a song that was a low humming. At first, I mistook the sound for the waterfall, but when I concentrated harder, I could hear the arch singing faintly.
