The cave's atmosphere, once a sanctuary for her and Ethan's teachings, now crackled with a different kind of energy, an energy fueled by hope and a touch of trepidation.
Delphine found a quiet spot within the cave and arranged the shells before her, creating a circular pattern.
She opened the grimoire and placed it in front of her on the right page.
She closed her eyes, allowing her mind to quieten as she tapped into her mermaid intuition.
With a deep breath, she summoned the essence of the sea, connecting with the currents that intertwined their fates
Delphine gently ran her fingers over each shell, feeling the energy that emanated from them.
She focused her thoughts on Ethan, picturing his face, his voice, and the bond they shared.
Her heart pounded when she thought about him, and it was hard to focus on meditation.
Then, with utmost concentration, she cast the shells, releasing them into the air.
Their fall to reveal the messages of the sea.
