Air Bubbles

I admit, seeing the Walker was exciting for the first seconds. I had actually seen one! Then, the resentment settled into my chest. They were invading my home every time one of their inventions broke. The last one I had seen was clad in black, covering any feature that could show what they looked like, except that I could see the way the fabric wrapped around their chest. That and the flatness around their pelvis had usually been signs of girls.

The only thing I could truly see through the mask were rainbow kaleidoscope eyes. As soon as she had begun to swam away the excitement was replaced with my usually feelings to them. I had interacted with them before, and they flaunted their legs like Neptune had chosen them to be the superior ones.

I swam through the streets of Atlantis, straight up the glittering white castle. Luke stood guard at the dark metal gates, and I sighed, pushing past him and entering the castle grounds. Swimming up the steps always intimidated me. This was my home, and though I knew the floorplan by heart, it still intimidated me. The tall ceilings and large staff made me feeling like what I was. A princess. The armor chestplate molded to my form for ease of movement was nice, and beautiful if I were honest, but it felt too safe. My oldest sister was ready to be married, her fiancé and her living in the castle, genuine smiles always on their faces and love in their eyes. I was the youngest and only of my six sisters to not find love. There were seven of us. The seven seas, apparently. It was something my mom wanted to do, have seven of us for the historical significance.


As I swam into the pale blues of my room, the feeling hit me. The human I had seen earlier was a girl.
