“You mean to tell me that my daughters are with Land Dwellers at this very moment?” Poseidon answered back with such disgust that the ocean ruptured with anger. “All these years of searching...” he lamented as he stood from his thrown. “I knew it. There was a reason I couldn’t feel their presence in the water anymore.” He added, clenching his teeth.
The Great White, a descent from the Megashark, and known as Osiris nodded. “The seals up north gave us the news as soon as they heard. Sire, I am very sorry. There is hope, however... it appears they love the water.”
Poseidon whipped his head back to the shark in anger “Of course they do! THEY’RE THE LEADERS OF THE OCEAN!” He exclaimed loudly, shaking the floor of the sea to its core.
The man was furious, understandably so, however, he was trying to remain focused. “Osiris, you are my right hand and I apologize. Bring me the known location of my daughters and I will go there myself. Maera and Serafina will be welcomed home with open arms....or, the humans will perish with my wrath...”

Maera smiled at her sister. Their relationship had bloomed even more so after she got back from Muir Island. It was nice to have family even if it was being adopted by the same parents. She was not surprised when their parents pulled her funds, stated that she was not welcomed home until she was cured of her problem or face being disowned. She had let it slip about what she was. She wondered how long it would be until they found a replacement child. Third time is the charm?
The salt water brought a sense of peace as she closed her eyes. She was free here as she always had been. She dived quickly as she held her own surf board. She had taken to the sport. She found that she was rather decent at it. It was nice to have another water related hobby. She placed a hand on her hip with a mischievous look.
"Care for a little competition? I am anxious to show you what I have learned while you have been away."
Her feet shifted over from under her as she was about to climb on the board. She looked around as other people had a similar reaction. She looked at Hope, "Did you feel that?"

Hope laughed “I’m always good for some competition!” She smirked wickedly and turned her board around. Closing her eyes, she breathed in the sea air and gave a bright smile. She felt home here.
She also was glad for her time spent with Maera. They clicked almost immediately and she finally had someone to talk with about her quirks. Looking to her sister, she nodded “Loser buys ice cream and wine!” She demanded with excitement.
It was then she felt an urgency within the water. The current grew faster as the wind whipped her hair back. “Yeah...I definitely felt that. Should we head back?” She asked quickly.
The water grew colder as Poseidon entered the beach area. Behind him, dolphins and sharks swam close by. All wore golden arm that shined in the sun beneath the surface. Looking behind, Poseidon have a nod as the neared the beach.
Osiris could smell the tourists nearby, giving a nod back to the God. “I feel their presence, my Lord. They’re close now. Within meters, I would assume.” He provided his guidance quickly as he saw the a few pairs of legs dangling from surf boards.

"Well as long as I can give you the money for the wine. I doubt they would sell it to me." Maera winked at her sister.
Her body shivered as water grew colder. She took in a deep breath as she noticed a couple of dolphins waving at them. She raised her eyebrow as she took in a sharp breath. She paddled in the place as she kicked her legs, slowly.
"I don't know....." She was torn with what to do. Her eyes scanned the beach as tourist started to pack up and the ocean was being trubluent. A couple of voices entered into her mind as they reassured them to swim deeper into the water. "I think we will be okay, or at least it won't effect us. What do you think?"

"I promise, everything will be okay..." Osiris whispered gently to them, louring the two deeper into the water.
Hope gulped seeing the tourists leave just as rain began to fall "Okay, Maera, I trust you. If I lose my board, though, you're getting me a new one!" she growled partially out of fear. Hesitantly, Hope turned her board around, following Maera. There's more dolphins underneath. Don't they normally stray when the water is rough?" she asked over the rain.
Osiris smiled, finally seeing the two girls, now women, following his commands. He hadn't seen them since they were children and it was refreshing to see how well they'd grown. The fish was incredibly proud of the two and was happy to finally bring them both home.
Hope felt the fish tickle her feet, to which she laughed amidst the storm. "Are we crazy?!" she asked Maera suddenly before jumping into the water "I mean, we're in a freaking storm with dolphins..."

Maera sucked in a large gulp of air as the voice promised things would be okay. The creatures were acting differently with a storm coming. The rain started to pour down as she wiped the water away from her eyes. Something was going on as goosebumps filled her entire body.
"Normally everything is deep in the ocean. Look at how many things are still at the surface. It looks like they are wearing some sort of armor? You can see it when the lightening flashes."
She felt something brush the bottom of her foot as she looked at calmer waters not far from them. "Over there! See that, I think we will be safe there as it might be the eye of the storm. At least the chance of me buying you a new board will be a lot lower."

Hope looked off into the distance, nodding in response to the calmer waters "Wanna try to get over there?" she shouted over the raindrops. Looking down, she too could see the flashes of armor as well. "Why...what is going on?" she asked out loud. "Maera, I'm going to take a look below..." she added before scooting to the front of her board and sinking into the water. Taking a deep breath, the girl fully submerged into the salty water, seeing the darkness below.
Her bright blue eyes met with Osiris, staring into the creature and feeling the incredible emotions swirling about him. She witnessed his golden armor shine from the surface. On the top of his head, a gold emblem with the kingdom's crest shined into the light.
Opening his mouth, his kind eyes stretched with happiness "Princess Serfina..." he slowly bowed "My name is Osiris, right hand of your father, the God of Sea, Poseidon.."
Hope lost her breath, feeling the salt water drain into her lungs. As she urgently tried to swim up, Osiris simply touched her skin with his nose, allowing her the ability to breathe "Princess, please try to stay calm...you remember how to breathe, yes?" Hope shook her head "No, no, no, no..." she panicked, closing her eyes as her life began to swirl around her.
"BREATHE!" Osiris commanded, gently, forcing her to look into his eyes "Just breathe..."
As more water entered her lungs, she suddenly felt relief; as if the liquid was exiting her body. Looking up, she grabbed Maera's ankle, pulling her into the water "You have to see this!" she yelled, clear as day with the water...

Maera nodded her head in agreement as she started to slowly paddle to the calmer waters. She looked back at her sister as she mentioned going below. A hand jetted out as her voice drowned with a crack of thunder. "Wait! You don't know what is going on."
She cursed under her breath as she paddled over to her sister's board. She grabbed the front of it as her eyes scanned the area. Her breath caught in her throat as the shark in golden armor approached her and bowed. If she was not panicking for the well being of her only family member, than she would have been confused by the bow.
A flash of light allowed her to see the bubbles float to the surface. "Hope!!!" She bent over her board only as her hand reached out. Her eyes frantically searched as the hand grabbed her ankle causing her to tumble into the water. The cold water washed over her as she gasped for breath. Her limbs thrashed about as water filled her lungs.
Osiris touched Maera's skin with his nose as he allowed the younger princess to breath as well. His heart sank as it seemed the young women had forgotten the simple things they could do. He swam up to her face as his fins touched her cheeks. "Princess Ephyra, all is well. Breathe, just breathe"
The ancient name and the touch started to snapped her out of it as she realized that she was no longer drowning. Her eyes darted back and forth as she not sure what was going on. "What is happening? Who are you? And why did you call me Ephyra?"

Osiris, about to frantic with worry, waited for Ephyra's body to react to the sea. Once the panic in her eyes subsided, he gently smiled and gave a bow "Princess, I am Osiris, your father's right hand and security guard to both you and Seraphina. I apologize for the brash introduction; however, it seems that you have forgotten how to breathe."
The Great White slowly backed away, allowing some room for the sisters. "You both were stolen from the kingdom very young. We've yet to locate the culprit, but rest assured, their day for justice is near." he smiled, exposing his razor sharp teeth.
Hope took Maera's hand, gasping at the large teeth of the shark, to which Osiris bowed once more "Oh, my apologies, Princess!" he spoke quickly, closing his mouth at once. "You are the daughters Poseidon, God of the Sea." The silver-haired goddess'eyes were in a daze as shock overtook her entire mind "I knew something was off my entire life...Maera, is this really happening?" she asked softly, continuing to breathe comfortably within the ocean.

Maera's breath came out even as her eyes never left the shark in front of her. His words seemed to suspend in the water around them. It was hard to grasp the concept that she was a princess born to a god. She felt that some one was playing a cruel joke on her after everything she had been through.
Her eyes darted to her sister as she felt the grip on her hand. She blinked a few times, unsure of what to think. "I don't know. I feel like someone is pulling a huge prank on us. How can we be sure what you say is true? Why would someone want us to be taken away from our home?"

Fathom gulped, breathing heavily after and clenching Maera’s hand into hers. Staring at the large mammal, at a loss for words out of the sheer terror from the news they were just given. If they had been taken, why? Why would someone take two girls that lived in the ocean? Who would know about them? Their father was a god? This was all too much.
“If what you say is true and we believe you, what proof can you give? Tell us something that only we would know.” They both had a birthmark inside of their lips. In the cold, it seemed change a different color, but just to a very subtle pink. It had been wearily similar to the symbol of water. No one else had known and they had only recently found out.
Osiris closed his eyes. He had had a feeling that their story would be a hard sell. The women were smart... of course they were! With a gentle nod, he backed away to give them space “Under your lower lip rests the mark of your people. There are three curved lines, one on top of the other. The marking will change abruptly given the variance of temperature. Once you become too warm, the marking signals your body to cool off. That is why you’re never overheated, or have the ability to freeze to death.”

Maera glanced between her sister and the shark as her eyes narrowed. She felt her muscles tense up as he mentioned the mark on their lips. It was something that neither one really noticed before. She squeezed the hand of her sister as swam forward slightly. Her breathing came out in huffs as her mind turned over.
"You correct about the birth marks. We have noticed them, just recently. How long have they been there? Do they have special meaning other then keeping our temperatures regulated? And when can we meet our father? There are many questions that we need answers to."
She kept her eyes locked on the shark. There were plenty of other questions. She would start at the basics. She wanted to know why they were not discovered until now. The burning question would wait until they saw their father. She did want to know why she suffered all that pain when she could have had a home.
