My heart races as I catch a glimpse of sea witch. Still in shock of what have I done, my body trembling and my feet struggling to step forward loosing the footing and bending in knees, that resemble a jelly. Tears stream down my chicks and blood trails behind me as I hardly manage to hold a fishnet with my first "trophy" in it.
**What have I done ?!**
my head is pounding and I do not control my mimics at all, ugly crying as I approach Althea.
—Just in time...
She says with no emotion, immediately concentrates on the ritual. turning on her heels, she opens the shell, revealing beautiful pearl in it that is pure white. I stand firm and frozen, until she signs with her hand to come near her.
A bright beam of moonlight hits the accurate pearl and as the shiny stone reflects light , it is instantly projected on the surface of the ocean, calming it's rage at once.
—Kneel close and give your gift to them
She says, her voice cold and low.
just before I can process, my body seems to understand the task and I kneel just enough for my knees to get weet by soaky sand under them. My hands still shaking violently ,as I choke on my tears feeling lump In my throat, finding it hard to breath.
I gather all my strength and put my shaking hands in the fishnet, feeling the urge to throw up, as cold skin brushes up against my fingers. I however determined to get this over with already, take dismembered head in my hands, blood still dripping from his neck marking my white dress with red flowelike stains before I put it in the water and let them take the gift away.
Althea is humming a sea shanty almost like a lullaby and I shift my eyes from her face to the stone , that still reflects moonlight,serving as connection to full moon and the ocean. Pure white pearl starts turning gray and more and more darker swirls appear before it turns pure black.
