[center][h2][color=Pink]Thalassa[/color][/h2][/center] [@Legion02] The voice that rang into Thalassa's ear sent a shiver down her spine. Her mind flashing to the thought of bones and rotting flesh. A heavy gulp rang down her throat, and for a moment she was horrified to turn and face the man behind her. Slowly but surely, she turned to face him. And let out a small breath of relief. [b]"[color=pink]Arios, it's you... You startled me[/color]"[/b] she sighed softly, bubbles popping from her mouth as she spoke. Drifting to the surface of the ocean. Disappearing through the clear water overhead. Thalassa had to be honest with herself. There had always been something about Arios that wasn't right. She couldn't put her finger on it. Her father trusted him greatly, having made him his right hand man. So naturally she should trust him. She trusted her father. And knew he would never allow someone to have power if they would only abuse it. However, she did not trust him. She told herself she should, her father had good judgement. But his crooked smile, his hungry eyes, were unsettling. It seemed to her, as if she was the only one who noticed these things about him. Everyone else greatly respected him. So she did as well. But respect and trust were to entirely different things. [b]"[color=pink]What are you doing out here?[/color]"[/b] She asked quietly, her voice as gentle as always. Melodic like the swirling song of a flute. The waves weaved through her blue and yellow hair. Slowly moving each lock like a separate creature. The heavy, and eerie feeling that had once been so present in the water. Was now fading to nothing.
