Summary of The Sea: And it was probably just him not being able to find the stuff on his first walk around. It would take even the most focused person a look or two, surely, but it did seem...weird. Weirder, too, because sometimes he swore he could see something move in the water—he’d hear a splash, or see something fall, and it was like it had been thrown back to him or something...but that was impossible, right?
Braith just had a knack for finding lost things.
Merman!Fern, Human!Braith, alternate universe of The Forest. 14939 Words.
Except under the cut!
He breathed in and he followed the dock to the end.
He still wasn’t sure. He still couldn’t be sure, really, because the only explanations he could come up with were something impossible. But he walked to the edge of the dock and knelt down anyway, getting closer to...the sea. Closer to the deeper parts of the sea, anyway, which was...if anything was here, which it wasn’t, it would be out here. In deeper water. Right? It wasn’t as if he’d actually been able to catch a glimpse of anything other than a splash, but…
He breathed out and shook his head.
“Um,” he said quietly, pulling the rock from his small pouch and rolling it between his hands, “I’m looking for a pair of glasses. They might be broken, but—um. If you’ve found them...”
Whew. His heart was hammering.
Braith laughed at himself and gave the stone a small toss, scanning over the water before he closed his eyes. He tucked his head down and hugged his knees to himself just to ease the nerves...he didn’t know if this would be too much, but he hoped it wouldn’t. If someone was there to respond, someone who would want to wait until Braith couldn’t see them...
Something shifted in the water. He heard it. He didn’t open his eyes, but he heard it, he held his breath as he felt the dock shift, as if there was a weight—and then another, and a shade over his eyes like something blocked out the sun—Braith didn’t even breathe—
Something dropped on his foot.
Braith’s eyes snapped open.
But his head was still down, and the only thing he managed to catch sight of was the splash, the ripples, and—
Braith swallowed and stared at where it had been.
For a second there—for a second, he could have sworn he’d seen a tail.
