Whew~
I have han--wait what..?
My hands have webs and transparent claws, with light almost translucent scales on the outer part.
'Oh, great creator, I am a half-fish!' I inwardly cried.
Realising this, I suddenly have no desire to look at my body further. I might become traumatised. (Host. This is a very unique form.)
The system said once more.
I had an extremely strong urge to destroy the system, sudden. Unique. Yeh unique is right. I look like a half fish.
By all that is holy, I probably look… a beauty is swimming around me.
A large beauty is swimming around me. What should I do?
The beauty in particular has a long tail, it is not Fan-shaped or colourful. Rather it was long with two knife-like sides; the inside was like a normal fishtail but the beauty was on the outer tail fins. Each side had sharp edges that were curved towards each other and longer resembling a caudal fin. Actually, if he did not have two. I would have said it mostly resembled the swordtail fish but yeh… Above them were a set of fins on each side and when he turned he had another from his--very masculine, very human-like back-- let me stress on human-like because there is no way this beauty can be described as a human. His entire form is like a giant! About five meters in length from tail to his perfectly made head.
The beauty seemed to be bigger when as he swam closer, dazed to death. I continued to stare as if I was being hypnotised until… I saw others appearing. Females--I hope with mostly Fantail fins, white skin and of course perfect facial features.
When the male stopped before me I nodded to the idea of him being first; a beauty and second; a giant. Is it because I am not truly half fish?
But why anyway did whatever made me into this present form had to be biased huh?! Like yo, what did I ever do these people?
There I was, rambling in my mind when the male beauty--yes, I will call him for now 'male beauty'-- right. So the male beauty spoke. I think he did, his eyes were glued to my form, and his lips moved but… what I heard was: "Ayjk sqtyhb nygwqr dewk dwek vukoool…" my head hurts just trying to figure out his lisp. I waited until he was finished but almost jumped in fright when the others who appeared echoed loudly in unison.
"Vukoool, Vukoool!" my right eye twitched.
This is a bad sign. I should. Runaway!
With a flick of my tail, I disappeared. Swimming at a high speed I did not look back moving like a speeding bullet.
After a while, I slowed down but still continued to move.
I thought the test to enter the next level of school would be hard but not impossible. That maybe I could breeze through it after a few near-death experiences. What I did not think of-- even though my fine self is as paranoid as ever-- that the boat would sink and a war would occur between a sea monster, the people of the sea and sky. Or! That I would become a fish and now a half fish. I just feel so depressed thinking about all of this. Life seems to be truly female. So hard to please, and such a b*tch!
Aimlessly I swam. Time did not seem to mean much because the water was always dark. I dare not swim near the surface least I become a target. What if I die?!
Suddenly there was a light. It was far but I followed it, getting closer.
The light grew brighter and brighter, still, I swam forward until my head seemed to burst forth from the watery depths. Looking around I saw that there seemed to be... What I saw in the distance made me so excited I jumped from the water in the air. Looking up the sky was clear and around me was water as far as my eyes can see. It is just that in one direction so far it seemed to be a dot; the sky was dark, flashes of power could be seen and the shrill screams, roars and yells could be heard.
Unaware to me, that was a day's swim away. And those I saw, were the remaining survivors from the ship and fighting were the sea folk and the Celestials.
The island was a day and a half away.
Looking away, I dropped back into the water. Immediately I swam full speed in the direction of the island. While I swam, I thought about the issue of what to do after I had reached the island. If I climb to shore; will I still have the tail?
The closer I drew to the island, the more nervous I became. Diving deeper I decided to forget about that a moment. I have to first see, if this island is even safe.
