Kalena

I watched Kaimana embrace his parents, their determination giving me hope. Though revealing my true nature was daunting, their acceptance lit a fire in my heart.

We could achieve what we could not alone.

As the Aukis discussed their plans, I swam in anticipation. Kaimana's world differed from mine, yet we were united by a common purpose - to protect the mysteries below the waves.

With his parents' blessings, we would venture onto the surface together, hand in hand. We are no longer divided by separate worlds but bound by our shared devotion to this wondrous ocean.

Kaimana turned to me, eyes shining. "Are you ready?"

I squeezed his hand, my tail flicking eagerly. "To swim by your side? Always."

The surface gleamed above me, sunlight dancing on the waves. Kaimana's world held such promise. But most of all, it had him - my love, my future.

Wherever he went, I would follow.
