The clear blue waves of the Caribbean Sea danced with the salty breeze above. The sun had just awoken and had begun to send her fresh, glowing beams through the crystalline waters below. Aurianne had also just wiped the slumber from her eyes, but she wasted no time in exploring the ocean around her. She had a collection that was continually growing, and each day was a chance to add to it. She often spent her time gathering the trinkets of man from a world she had only been told stories of. Some of these stories were meant as warnings, while others were merely for entertainment.
One story, for example, told of how Calypso, goddess of the sea, had banned the humans from her oceans and sent them to wither upon the dry land. Humans are stubborn creatures though, and often ignored their gods. To spite her, the humans built boats to live in and traveled upon the waves of the sea from which they were exiled. Calypso often did not allow this however, and sent mighty storms to crash their vessels. These very ship wrecks were Aurianne’s favorite to explore. The skeletons of the ships were full of clues about mankind. Aurianne was curious with a very vibrant mind, and sought to reveal the mysteries of the parallel species, though she never intends to get too close to the creatures.
The sands and the sun were playing together through the rippling reflection of waves. As Aurianne slowly approached the abandoned ship, schools of fish darted around her as if they did not know where to go. But unlike the lively fish, her path was full of intention as she headed towards to sunken hull. As her survey of the ship began, she was disappointed with the lackluster results. She saw only colonies of coral swaying with the current, clinging to the ship. Although beautiful, coral was not what she came here for. Soon though, a corroded but still delicate gold chain caught her eye. To her surprise, there was a locket at the end of the chain, and she hastily opened it. Inside, evidence of a picture still existed, as well as an engraving, written in the language of man. Aurianne knew little of man’s language, but what she could understand read “Love Always, Mother”. The message surprised Aurianne and tugged deeply at her heart; her own mother died not yet a year prior, and Aurianne still felt the struggle of daily emptiness. The strange coincidence reminded Aurianne of another story that was popular with the merfolk:Some say, that when a person of the sea dies, their spirit may evaporate, and return to the dry lands above. Usually though, they are so desperate to return to the waters, that the spirit may dress him or herself up as a human and intentionally board a soon-to-be sunken ship. Calypso has always favored the people of the sea, and thus a ship is much more likely to sink if there are spirits upon it. When the ship sinks, the spirit is allowed to return to the waters, but with no guarantee of finding or reuniting with loved ones. Instead, some may choose to leave gifts or notes, but often, the sea is far too large, and the debris of the wreck must land at exactly the right place. Because of this, only the luckiest of kindred find what was left for them.
Unsure of the accuracy of the folklore, Aurianne tried to remind herself that even without the locket, she knew in her heart her mother loved her. Regardless, Aurianne had just found her more prized treasure. She lifted the chain and placed it around her neck. Feeling as though her mother had helped her put it on, she was careful not to leave that moment too quickly.
As she returned to her home hidden in the shadows of the ocean, she watched as dolphins jumped and played with a boat traveling across the surface. Now even more curious about the humans and the lives they lived, she found herself following the boat of islanders. Acting carefully not to be seen, she waited for them to pass just far enough, then swam to the surface to catch a glimpse. The boat held two men, both with coffee colored skin and muscular shoulders. She soon found herself smiling with intrigue. They were fishermen, and soon the two men dove from their boat and into the water. Shocked, Aurianne was motionless just long enough for one of the men to see her. As she swam away deeper into the ocean, she saw the man smile at her, then toss her a wink as he went about his fishing. Perhaps the lore was right after all.
