Comfort In Conversation

The place feels like a maze. Instead of bushes, there are overgrown giant kelps in the area I manage to appear. I kept swimming until I lost the patio, and I could no longer hear the music or the loud chatter of merpeople. It sounds very peaceful in this garden but also uncanny.

The only light that leads me is the glow of algae and fishes that passes by me, who has glowing marks on their bodies similar to the ones I saw on the shark and manta. Thinking about fishes scares me as I have not seen any other species aside from the ones I've seen before. They could be lurking in this garden. 

My frustration is already getting ahead of me as I've been swimming for a while now. It's either I'm lost, or the person who's meeting me isn't showing up. Jubal's instructions were vague; it annoys me that he looked so secretive. But he'd throw me into this confusion, suspicion, and possible danger.
