Beneath The Sea

"RICE CAKE! SWEET RICE CAKE!" In a breezy morning, a young man shouted. He was there, in a market. So many people gave attention to him when he yelled. But no one bought his sweet rice cakes. Without any costumers, he still tried to sell.Hours passed and still, no one bought his rice cake. He was on the verge of giving up, the light that he once saw is fading.Until a few people went near him and buy those delicious rice cakes. He can't help but have an innocent and sweet smile on his face whenever someone buys his goodies. He wants them to buy all of his rice cakes, not because he wants it but because he needs it."Kailangan kong kumita para kila inay at itay. (I need to earn money for my parents)" The boy whispered using his native language. All he ever wanted was to help his parents. He yelled again and again so he can be noticed by the people passing by. Some people who heard him bought his homemade rice cakes.

NOLAN“Wait for a second, who are you?” I asked her. I could not see her face. Geez, why doesn’t she want me to see her face? So selfish! She didn’t pay attention to my question. Instead, she answered me with another question.“Are you willing to find her? Even if it will put your life at risk?” She asked me. I was speechless for a moment at what she just said. Hmm, if it’s worth the risk, then why not? I opened my mouth, but I can’t come up with a word to say. So, I just shrugged at her. I cannot answer her question. Who knows? What I’m looking for might be long gone now.I suddenly removed that thought from my head, I don’t want to think that it will happen. I’m sure that it will pain me a lot if that occurs. I cleared my mind and looked at her, thinking for an answer to reply. She noticed that my eyes were fixed on her, so she tilt

NOLANW-Wait what?!I was stunned, can’t utter a single word. ‘I-Is this another d-dream?!’ I asked myself. I looked at her; my mind can’t process what’s happening. Her arms were covered in water, so is her legs. Her top was also covered with fluid.The water that ran through her legs eventually became an aqua blue net that looked like a long skirt that covered her two skinny legs, just like what I saw in my dream. Then, the water ran up to her body and it made her semi-transparent cloth. The same water ran above her legs to her two arms and covered it with a net in a darker shade of aqua blue. A blue ball of water went up to her head and made her a beautiful shining crown. Lastly, the water drew something on her right arm; it was a wave, the waves of the sea.S-She’s a goddess.After she transformed, a pile of water went to her hand and formed a spear. I looked at her still stuck in my

NOLAN“Hmm, I really think that you must find her.” There she goes, every day is like that.  I looked at Orlene, irritated. She didn’t stop persuading me.“I said I’m not yet ready. Give me some time to think.” I said. “Isn’t a few days enough for you? How much time do you need more? Months? Years?” She asked bluntly. I didn’t respond to her. Instead, I opened my notes and started studying.She sighed at me, “You know what? If you’re like that, I don’t think that you deserve her.”  I was stunned at her answer. I looked at her, I tried to open my mouth but no voice came out. I can’t answer her, a moment of silence ensued between us; until our teacher came. I can’t focus on the discussion. As if I’m here in the classroom but my brai

NOLANI have to save her, now that I got a weapon to find her. I have to find her, wherever she is.That thought kept ringing in my ear. I have only one mission, and that is to find her. I looked at the mirror in front of me, am I enough to find her? Even so, even if I’m not enough, I will find her. Amansinaya gave us rooms to sleep in. We are in separate rooms. Orlene and I slept alone in our rooms. I looked at my bed; it was easy to get comfortable with it. Our rooms were filled with oxygen. Amansinaya also said that the oxygen in our room will never run out, the same with our headgears.I walked down to the table beside my bed. I took my headgear and my sword. The kingdom is still filled with water for the mermaids and other aquatic animals to live.I wore my headgear as I walk outside. I looked around, so where is the training room she is saying?“Follow me, I will lead
