Scott had never seen underwater castles before, let alone slept in one. But he slept peacefully, aside from the strange dreams. He didn't drown nor did he start sleep floating out of the room. It was an uneventful night. 


The next morning, though, he can't say was uneventful. 


The first thing he did after he woke up was get up and leave his room, which would have been a huge mistake if there wasn't a servant in the hallway to tell him directions to his friends' rooms. He almost got lost, but he won't tell the others that. 


When he finally found Grayson's room, he met the princess that everyone had talked about the day before. 


She was pretty, gorgeous even. He felt her beauty compared to Queen Astraya's, if not exceeded. Her outfit was almost as beautiful as her, sparkling and wavy in the water. And Scott had never seen eyes as black as hers, no iris or anything, just pure black emptiness. It was almost scary staring into her eyes.
