I passed through the vision gate and found myself walking on water in the middle of an ocean. Great waves moved back and forth beneath my feet and made it difficult to stay upright. I laughed as I slipped and slid over the uneven surface.
Undines were monitoring my progress over the water and they found my antics amusing as well. “You guys have the right idea staying under the surface,” I said as another wave made me tumble to my knees. “Being on top of the water is for the birds.” As the water elementals giggled, bubbles rose from their mouths to break on the waves that kept coming at me no matter how I tried to escape them.
After much struggle and merriment with my friends, a shining city rose from the sea before my wondering eyes. It was made of crystal and the sun shone through the crystals, producing rainbow colors of such radiance, I could hardly look directly at it. The crystal city also transmitted sound waves from the ocean floor through its walls so it hummed with a life of its own.
“Have you all been hiding that city this entire time?” I asked the undines, becoming mildly annoyed at their propensity to laugh at me rather than with me as I fell upon the surface once more. The water spirits nodded their heads enthusiastically and waved goodbye as they returned to the deeper ocean waters.
“Well, don’t worry about me, save yourselves,” I said sardonically as I pulled myself to my feet once more. “I’ll face the humming alien city without my friends, shall I? What could possibly go wrong.”
I levitated from the ocean’s ever changing surface and floated towards the city. “If they only had a modicum of organization and wings of their own, I believe the undines could take over the world one day,” I mused to myself, dodging the increasingly tall ocean waves which batted at me like a huge cat at play the closer I got to the shining city. “Maybe it’s better for all of us that they are the way they are. Far be it from me to criticize the seabound Fae.”
Suddenly, a huge gray fish broke through the waves in front of me and leapt high enough that his tail slapped my chin before he disappeared beneath the sea once more. “I said ‘far be it from me to criticize the seabound Fae’,” I yelled at his retreating figure. The only response I received from the hidden undines was an increase in the foam of their watery giggles upon the waves.
