Two Worlds

Chapter 5

Coming upon a deep, dark, and hidden cavern Roxy skimmed, looking around seeing a few more mermaids. "Amazing." "It is isn't it." Roxy only nodded. A few elder met them once they all traveled into the cavern more. "Everyone welcome back... Who is this?" "This is Roxy-" "That- that necklace, she's human. You brought her here!" "Yes, she saved my life, the clan didn't get to me in time. If Roxy hadn't stopped to help I-I" "I see. Roxy, we owe you our thanks for helping, if you need anything let us know." "Of course." "I do request though don't show humans where we live, else-" "I wouldn't do that." Erika spoke up again asking "Dacia can you show Roxy around for me I need to talk to Mira the elder a bit more." "Ok. Uh-" "Roxy." "Right, well then uh lets start the tour Roxy." Dacia and Roxy began swimming while Erika talked to Mira some more about their way there. Erika found Dacia and Roxy at the sleeping chambers. "Dacia thank you for showing Roxy around." "Your welcome." "Roxy can you follow me, Mira the elder mermaid you met earlier wants to talk to you." "Okay, lead the way. Oh Dacia thank you for the tour." Dacia only nodded her head. Erika lead Roxy back to where the elders met heading straight to another cave opening, where Mira was supposedly waiting for them. "Erika told me you saved a turtle." "Yes. It was chewing a plastic bag, the turtle could and or would have choked on it." "As I heard from Erika. Humans who has that necklace and decide to become perment mermaids can pick up and do any skill they want and or like. "Really?" "Indeed. Would you like to learn any particular skill? We, the elder mermaids talked it over and decided that if you want to learn we'll be the ones to teach you." "But I haven't decided yet nor would I be part of your clan." "That is alright, we'll still teach you if you'd like." Without hesitation Roxy said "yes, yes I would love to learn! Please." "Rasia, Zelda, Layla, and Brandy." "Nice to meet you all." "Rasia will teach you how to communicate with animals. Layla will teach you healing. Zelda will teach you telepath. Brandy will teach you hunting, and as you probably guessed I'm the spell caster. I want test your spell casting." "Alright... Uh no offense but I don't think Brandy will be teaching me." Mira asked "why's that?" Roxy then explained about Audrey wanting her grandson to teach her hunting. "So be it but promise me that if he doesn't want to teach you or something changes that you'll come here and learn; we'll even invite you to our clan if you'd like." "Thanks and I promise." Mira gave Roxy more spell casting tests and learned some more spells while at it. Once Mira believed Roxy was great in spell casting Mira gave Roxy some odd magical seaweed to chew to help her with her next lesson with Rasia and communicating. By the time the magic seaweed wares off Roxy will be a natural communicator. To Roxy's surprise Mira was right about picking up animal communication and being a natural even after the magic seaweed wore down. Before Roxy could begin her next lesson, she told the elders that she to go above, back to her home to do something. Erika wanted to go as well so Mira made a necklace up for her so that she could walk and look like a human. From the cavern to Roxy's home was full of chatter unless an unexplained reason was quiet, like when Roxy found some treasure in a sunken ship and took it in some satchel which she found amongst the treasure. Roxy then explained to Erika on why she needed the treasure; Erika thought at first odd and made little sense on paying someone to live in a place. Aside from that Erika thought that the satchel was the most interesting thing ever, that it could hold objects like the treasures that Roxy picked through to take.
