A lonely seadweller

[Naro]

As Naro lay on the ocean floor she watched the faint light the came from the surface. With each growing day she became more and more curious about it. She had never gotten to see the surface because her caretaker said it was only full of 'filthy land-dwwellers', what ever the glub those were.

She had two caretakers actually. Theirs names were Feferi and Eridan, though Eridan was the one who took care of her most. Feferi was more of a friend then a caretaker. She told her a lot about land-dwellers. Though she mainly talked about her matesprite, Sollux. She said he wasn't a highblood like they were, but she still loved him. Feferi also told her about the other blood colors. There were ten others that lived on the surface. She said each blood color was unique in its own way. She even talked about her own blood color, which was strangely the same as Eridans. It was odd for two trolls to have the exact same blood color, but in a way it bonded the two trolls together.

A loud noise interrupted Naros thoughts. It was probably Eridans lusus looking after her. He always wanted to make sure she never went to the surface and she hated it. She sighed and began to swim away to somewhere the lusus couldn't follow her. She had found secret cave which not even Eridan knew about. It lead up right to the surface. Today was going to be the day she went on the surface.

[Rikku]

A small girl, named Rikku, sat next the shoreline of the water. She seemed to be in deep frustration. Sollux, her caretaker hasn't been talking to her today and she keeps getting a strange feeling she did something to make him mad.

[Naro]

Naro came to the end to the cave where the water ended. She poked her head out. It was the first time she felt the breeze on her face. It was cold but nice. She took her time getting the rest of her body on the surface. She was surprised to find her body much heavier then it was int he water. She could barely pick herself up without gasping for breath. Once seh gained her streangth she decided to try walking. Feferi had told her that Sollux and her take walks almost everyday. It couldn't be that hard.

She was wrong of course. The first time she tryed to stand up her legs collapsed from her gained body weight. She kept trying again and again until she gave up. She would have to crawl her way out if she wanted to get out of the cave. So she began to crawl.

The sunlight outside was almost blinding. It hurts her eyes so much she had to cover them for protection. When here eyes adapted to the light she gasped at the beach around her. It was so big. The water was about a few yards away. It was even more beautiful above then below. She bunched her toes together from the cold breeze and noticed something rough and gritty between them. It was sand. She also noticed thanks to her dripping wet clothes that the rest of her was covered in sand as well.

[Rikku]

Rikku covered her mouth from letting out a shriek. It was another troll! And they looked about the same age! Rikku looked over and studied the girl. The girl has...weird things where her ears are...and webbed fingers...ewww.... She thought quietly to herself

[Naro]

Naro noticed the girl from the corner of her eye. She retracted the webbing on her hands and looked at the other troll. "Oh, hi!" She smiled as she waved friendly. She made another attempt to stand up. This time she stood for a few seconds before collapsing again. Stupid legs.

[Feri]

Rikku stood up and walked quickly over to Naro. "Are...are you okay?" she asked as she knelled down on her knees, next to her. She noticed the girls hands weren't webbed anymore. Rikku had plenty of questions running through her mind.

[Naro]

"Mhm..." She brushed the sand off her clothes. "I'm kind of getting used to this walking thing." She looked at the girl. She looked kind of confused. Had the girl never seen a seadweller before?

[Feri]

"Er....are you from the sea?" she asked nervously. Sol's matespirit, Fef, is a seadweller....maybe this girl knows her... She thought for a moment, looking and studying Naro's strange ear fin thingys.

[Naro]

"Yes, I am." She smiled. "And your a landdweller right? Eridan talks a lot about you guys." Naro didn't add that it was mainly bad stuff he talks about. She didn't want to believe that landdwellers were all bad... maybe some but not all. "This is my first time on land."

[Feri]

Rikku nodded. "Wait...Eridan?" she asked a bit surprised. "My caretaker told me about him..." she rambled then looked away. Whatever Sollux told Rikku, it wasnt good. So Rikku kept her mouth shut. "So whats with the...er...ear things?" she muttered nervously, trying not to be rude.

[Naro]

"Hm...?" She tilted her head, then realized what she was talking about. "Oh...yeah...heh heh. They kinda like the ears you have, except they can hear much farther underwater." She smiled. She then realized she hadn't told the other troll her name. "Oh, by the way, I'm Naro Ampora, hehe."

[Feri]

Rikku smiled. "Its nice to meet you Naro." Rikku stood up and held a hand down to Naro to help her up. "Im Rikku Narcusia." she said in a proud tone.

[Naro]

Naro looked at her hand, not really understanding the gesture. She stood up by herself, though her legs wobbled a bit. "Thats a pretty name." She looked away toward the sea for a moment. "So your caretaker knows Eridan?" She tilted her head slightly.

[Feri]

Rikku nodded, placing her hand back to her side. She looked the opposite way Naro was looking and noticed someone, hiding behind a tree. "Hm?" she made a curious sound then smirked. "Hey, Naro... can you help me find something?" she asked looking back at Naro.

[Naro]

"Uh, sure." She smiled. "What is it your looking for?" She looked back and Rikku. She took a step forward to avoid falling again. Naro followed where Rikku was looking. She tilted her head more. What ever Rikku was looking at was gone now.
