Every day's a little harder as I feel my power grow
It had been ages since Delta surfaced.
The trial to keep her calm and avoid shifting was a hard one. Her fear was strong and the voice screamed at her, but they worked hard and tried to figure things out.
It was tiring... so tiring. Her trust in the Gods remained, yes, but any desire to venture out had died. The fire that once roared had been snuffed out. The things she once enjoyed were avoided like the plague. She didn't want to scare anyone else- the number of times people had glared at her for her mistakes. They looked down on her, acting as though she was stupid and a complete idiot. It saddened her and at this point, she didn't know what else to do.
Then there was the word of a sickness. It was concerning and Delta thought maybe, just maybe the merpeople had a solution... and if she had it, maybe her curse would be lifted.
The only thing left to do now was to try to find out more.
Bringing herself to the surface was hard, but she eventually did it. Glancing around, it took her a good ten minutes before she finally found someone. Squinting her eyes from the water, she waved a hand. Where she was, the water was just deep enough for her to escape if she randomly shifted.
"Hello? Are you okay?" She called out, noticing his odd behaviors and maneurisms. Maybe he was drunk?

Don't you know there's part of me that longs to go into the unknown?
