Delphine was underwater.

Her lungs were burning; her gills had been too long out of practice to open up quickly enough when she had been dragged under the surface. Salt water burned her throat as she thrashed against the arms pulling her.

Down.

Down.

Down.

She opened her eyes; the pitch-black depths were disorienting for a moment as her vision adjusted. She pulled on the muscles of her neck, prying open her gills, trying desperately to get some air. She felt it the moment the three slits on each side of her throat ripped open, oxygen finally pumping back into her lungs.

Delphine thrashed against the arms, thrusting out her legs with as much force as she could in her position. Her back was to the figure, their arms wrapped around her front too tightly for her to wiggle out of their grasp. She felt the webbing between her fingers and toes weave together, assisting her movements slightly, but it still wasn’t enough.

The figure finally stopped swimming as they reached a stone house covered in purple coral and seaweed. The person shoved her through the doorway, finally releasing her once they were both securely inside.

Delphine whipped around and finally saw the face of the person who had brought her here.

“Celeste.”
