breaking like the wine-stained glass that held my drink
The waters have always been hers, just as she has always been the waters.
She knew nothing else besides the water. It took her in when she had nothing. Molding her and crafting her into something beautiful, but dangerous.
However, she knows nothing of being dangerous. All she knows is the call of the sea and the deepest of treasures and secrets that lay beneath the crashing of waves on the surfaces. The eye watching from the surface truly knows nothing of what the waters know and hold.
But she does.
Eva is simple and naïve of the world, but in her world, she is the daughter of the sea. She is peaceful and calm, but wild and dangerous as a strong ocean storm.
Her curiosity only makes her admirable. And she wishes to explore it all—the world. In the very depths of the ocean and the dryland that stretches beyond the familiarity of the waters.
But today her curiosity has taken her to a familiar place. Back to the open mouth of the river, where once upon a time she followed the voice of the ocean fairy at the mountain. She had once taken the chance to save the dryland folks of their plague (a thing she still does not understand), but only to return to the waters. Thankfully, her attempt to help the dryland people did not go unnoticed. The nereid-shifter had been given shells, and she adorns them proudly on her mane and tail.
Eva moves closer to the shore of the dryland, where the river’s mouth opens wide into the deeper parts of the sea. With ease, she pushes herself forward, feeling the waters move at her will, sending her closer. Her orange-gold eyes light up curiously as they scan the horizon of the shores and catch sight of something strange yet enticing.
When she gets closer, she stops suddenly. Noticing the tentacles that cling to the strange-water mare. There was something familiar about the mare’s tentacles, something dangerous and dark she had encountered near the Island Resort when she accepted the task of the fairies in the mountain. Eva snorts, feeling irritated at the reminder of the creature that tried to take her down.
Never before had she encountered such a creature of the waters until then. Now it was back to get her! Feeling more overwhelmed with her annoyance, Eva moves without a thought and sends a giant wave to the tentacle mare.
“Get out of here!” She yells.
Eva
