An object that didn't belong in the water - a glowing little stone - suddenly fell onto Little Ink's tentacle, waking her from her tracing of her ancestors' memories.
Little Ink was a 'bottom-dwelling magic fish' that had existed for thousands of years; however, time had no real meaning for her. She would be immortal, true immortality, unless she died of unnatural causes like disease or violence. This was a trait inherent to her species, and all bottom-dwelling magic fish were like this.
In her long life, Little Ink's favorite thing to do was to constantly review the memories of her ancestors. These memories spanned countless eons, rich in content, hiding unimaginable information - even including the birth of their race from the blood of the 'Crimson Queen', Pasquesisis.
