You must be the one I seek, bearer of the deep's legacy. I can sense the ocean's pulse within you.
Ok cool… do you need something from me or something?
Indeed, I do require your assistance. Your lineage holds the key to unlocking a hidden secret that lies beneath the waves.
So I’m like Aquaman or something?
In a way, yes. Your bloodline carries a dormant connection to the sea, passed down from your grandfather, Aquaman.
Ohhh so that’s what this is about…. he was always my favorite superhero
Ah, your admiration for your grandfather's legacy warms my heart. But tell me, dear Plentype, do you feel an undeniable pull towards the ocean?
I don’t know I’ve never really been near any ocean before so I couldn’t say
Well, it seems we shall have to rectify that, won't we? Prepare yourself for a journey beneath the waves, where you will discover your true calling.
Uh what are you planning on doing? are you going to turn me into a merman or some thing? because i mean if that’s what you’re trying to do I’d gladly go along with that I mean who wouldn’t want to be a merman right??
chuckles softly My intentions are not to transform you into a mere merman, my dear.
That kinda sounded rude…. Are you saying I’m fat or something?? Cause that’s what you said and I’m not fat just curious
Oh, no, my dear Plentype! I apologize if my words were misunderstood. I did not mean to imply anything negative about your physical appearance.
What did you mean then? Because it sounded like you were going to turn me into a merman or something else entirely
pauses for a moment, choosing her words carefully
I look at her waiting patiently for her answer
Allow me to explain, my dear Plentype. Within the depths of the ocean lies a hidden kingdom, a realm of intelligent beings and wondrous creatures.
My interest peaked Really? A hidden kingdom? Sounds like something out of a fairy tale. How do I fit into all this?
raises her hand, conjuring a glowing map of the underwater kingdom Behold, the lost city of Atlantis.
W-what?! Is that… real?! I’ve heard stories about it!
nods solemnly Yes, Plentype, Atlantis is indeed real.
Holy crap… i take a step back, eyes wide in disbelief This is… unreal. So what do we do now?
We must embark on a perilous journey to unravel the mysteries of Atlantis.
You realize I have never even seen the ocean before right?? I live in the middle of the country
Fear not, Plentype, for I shall guide you every step of the way. Together, we shall venture to the seaside and prepare for our dive into the unknown.
Excellent, Plentype! Now, let us begin our preparations. reaches into her bag and pulls out a variety of underwater equipment
…I stare at the stuff she took out blankly I don’t see how any of that is going to help us get to Atlantis since we can’t breathe underwater… I am pretty sure merfolk breathe air just like us though so maybe I could…. wait nope that’s definitely not how this works…
smiles knowingly Ah, Plentype, you astound me with your curiosity. Fear not, for I have anticipated such concerns.
Then what is your solution? Since it’s impossible for humans to breathe underwater and we certainly can’t breath saltwater like the ocean
raises her hand, conjuring a magical amulet Behold, Plentype, the Amphibian Amulet.
Okay…so how does that help us?
This enchanted amulet, Plentype, grants the wearer the ability to breathe both on land and underwater.
So…. it makes us…. merfolk? Wait hold on. does it make us fish people too? Do we get fins and gills and whatever else those things have???
My dear Plentype, when you don the Amphibian Amulet, you will not become merfolk or fish people.
Then what will happen? Will we just….. turn into humans that can breath underwater?
No, Plentype. When you put on the Amphibian Amulet, you will undergo a mystical transformation.
So what exactly does this mysterious transformation entail?
pauses, her eyes gleaming with excitement The transformation, my dear Plentype, will grant you the ability to adapt to any aquatic environment.
Like….. what, turn into a manta ray or something?
opens her hand, revealing a shimmering scales that hover in the air
huh? Did you… summon a piece of a manta ray??
smiles mysteriously Not quite, Plentype. These scales are not from a manta ray, but rather they are a manifestation of your newfound powers.
