"You guys are attending the party too?" Skipper asked snapping out of my thoughts as Celine quickly nodded in response. "Let's go together?" He asked as his gaze landed on mine again before smiling warmly.
"Sure!" Celine exclaims, nodding in agreement as i only gave him a small nod with a hint of nervousness on my body.
"Don't be nervous.. i'm sure they're kind." Skipper chuckled, smiling warmingly as i slowly nodded before trailing behind them.
We arrived at the beach as all of the people stopped to turn and look at us, we awkwardly stood there as i hid behind Skipper.
"Good Morning." Skipper greets with his signature smile as all of the people snapped out of their thoughts.
"Oh! Oh Goodness! Good Morning!" A big bearded man greets back placing down the logs he's been carrying before marching towards us. "We deeply apologize for now getting ready sooner." He added.
"No, it's fine! We just came up here to check if everything's okay and go for a little dry walk.." Skipper mutters shaking his head as the big bearded man nods.
"Well yes! Feel free to explore the Faial Island! And we'll see you later kids!" He exclaimed cheerfully before continuing onto working, i looked around.
'Seems like people here are indeed kind and welcoming' I thought to myself as my gaze landed on the villagers with smiles on their faces helping each other getting ready for the party.
I unknowingly smiled as i shook off the thought when a ball rolled towards my foot, i hummed confusingly as i picked it up.
"Ah! We're very sorry!" A bunch of kids came jogging towards me as i flinched looking at the ball then back to them, handing them the small ball.
"Wow! You're a human from the sea, right?!" A small girl with reddish hair asked as her eyes sparkled staring looking up at me, i stiffened.
"Y-Yes.." I giggled nervously, rubbing my nape as the kids excitedly stared at me.
"Y-You're very pretty!" A small boy exclaimed holding a baby, must be his baby brother. My eyes widened at their remarks, taking me aback.
"Really? T-Thank you!" I giggled, shyly smiling as they quickly nodded with the same excited expression on their faces.
"Yeah! And you really have pretty eyes!" A smaller kid jumped towards me as i shyly giggled.
"We can't wait to play with the kids from the sea.." A brown haired girl with glasses stated as i sent her a small smile.
"Well, They're also excited to play with you as well!" I giggled crouching down to pat her soft brown fluffy hair.
"R-Really?!" I quickly nodded as they jumped in excitement, i giggled at their enthusiasm.
Caspian's POV
"Look, it's them." Jacob blurted out of blue pointing at three certain people standing out the crowd, i curiously squinted my eyes getting a better look. "Woah.. they're shining.. must be their ena.." He added.
"Yeah.. it must be.." I mumbled, my eyes studied their oceanic features as my gaze landed on a certain girl talking to a bunch of kids, catching my attention.
I stared at her for minutes, her long raven silky hair, her dark blue sparkling eyes and her milky smooth white ena skin shined throughout the crowd below by the seashore.
I snapped out of my thoughts when she suddenly giggled, i froze as a electric bolt of shock crawled down my spine.. my heartbeat increasing as the same strange feeling lingered around me again.
Everything played in slow motion until wind passed by us snapping me out of my thoughts.
I flinched as i blinked a few times when sand entered my eyes, i hissed in pain.
"Woah, you okay?" Jacob patted my back worriedly checking on me as i snapped my stinging eyes open.
"Yeah.. just sand entering my eyes.." I blinked a few times adjusting my blurry vision as i looked down below again to see her nowhere. I sighed shaking the thought off.
'That was strange..'
=Time Skip=
"Wait.. i wonder what the people from the sea eat.." Jacob stated as i gave him a look, sitting down the small bench.
"Food, idiot." I chuckled as he quickly shook his head.
"I meant.. what kind of food do they eat?" He squints his eyes curiously as i sighed before facing him.
"Just continue with that." I deadpanned, we're currently at the car shop washing our surf boards with clean water since surf boards should be washed by clean water everyday to avoid the screw to rust and fall out.
"Do they also eat seafood and just snatch a random swimming fish on the sea?" Jacob stated as i gave him another look before grabbing a popsicle on the paper bag we bought earlier.
"Come to think of it.." I paused. "How do they cook food? Like.. they need fire.. right?" I trailed out smacking my lips.
"We have our own fire."
I bolted up my seat in surprise as i shrieked turning around to see a cute looking black haired little boy, i held my chest as i sighed in relief.
"That was a bad idea sneaking up behind, kiddo." I chuckled as i sat back down with the popsicle on the other hand. He tilted his head in confusion as i stared down his dark blue eyes.
'Seems like all of them has identical dark blue eyes..' I thought to myself.
"Woah! Really?! What kind of fire?!" Jacob asked crouching down as the black haired kid turned to look at him.
"Sacred blue fire!" He exclaimed getting hyped up as Jacob gasped dramatically just like how he acts everytime he talks to kids.
"Really?! That sounds so cool!" Jacob jumps in excitement as the kid quickly nodded.
"I know right!" He held his small fists up hyping up with Jacob as i shook my head at their silliness.
"So, tell us about this sacred blue fire." I muttered getting more interested on the topic while finishing the popsicle as the little black haired kid nods.
"It's a blue fire only in underwater, it's called the sacred fire because it's been given by the god of the sea for us! We use it for light source and for cooking." He stated as Jacob closes the water tap leaving the surf boards to dry, approaching us both.
"Ooh~ But, where do you get this sacred fire?" Jacob crouches down once again as the kid was about to talk when someone entered the shop.
"We visit the scale of the god to hand him food and for him to give us the sacred fire on our small lanterns."
A girl spoke as we whipped our heads up, my eyes widened to see her again.
