Jade opened her eyes and saw glowing scales and whale bones which seemed to be constructed in the form of huts. A large half-fish half-human stood in front of her, glowing patterns on their scales. Her twin Jinx was held in a bubble in the palm of this creature's hand. They were looking eye to eye and seemed to be talking while a slightly smaller creature stood by, listening and looking at her sister with admiration.33Please respect copyright.PENANAJjTfxJU2AU
She suddenly realized that the creature had a crown-like object on their head and had several smaller servant-seeming creatures. She had heard of this creature; it was a mermaid... or maybe a siren? Her twin now seemed to be pleading with the mermaid queen, looking very scared. Truth appeared next to her and said a few words.33Please respect copyright.PENANAaxVn5fiT9R
The queen nodded and gestured to the mermaid beside her who had been admiring Jinx and pushed her forward. This mermaid had several marks and kept a solemn face, she looked very paranoid. Truth shook the hand of the queen, then grabbed a piece of paper from the siren's hand.
Jade suddenly got pulled up to the surface along with Blue, Nuna, Jinx, Truth, and that mermaid servant girl. Everyone was confused, but Truth then spoke, "Well, we need to go to this town down by a lake to get a treasure they lost several years ago, then we have to make it back. Shouldn't be too difficult if you don't think about it."33Please respect copyright.PENANAJsBjM6ukWL
Jinx shook her head, "No, it's not that simple. I'm going with and it is going to be SO DIFFICULT to get there. My dad won't care where I am though, so I guess that's a plus."33Please respect copyright.PENANASFO58xu6Xg
Truth inquired, "How are you not scared of this? We're literally from another dimension and found mermaids and have to go and rescue something to get us back home and you're acting like it's just another day?"33Please respect copyright.PENANAHfd1qgRyru
She shrugged, "Well, it is if you think about it... or don't. Anyways, I feel like I need to go with, and I am bringing my sister. Our dad and new stepmom won't care. They're probably fighting or gambling or drinking or all three."33Please respect copyright.PENANAcerI026Y52
Truth just made a face and sighed, "Fine, we'll take you with, just don't cause trouble and don't die. Oh! Also, talk to her," She gestured to the mermaid servant, "Find out stuff while I find a way to get there." She turned around and went to read a map.33Please respect copyright.PENANADcEv248lMm
Jinx approached the mermaid, who had turned into a young woman. Her human form was of a tall, muscular teenager with short fluffy brown hair, blue-purple eyes, with a tank top, shorts, and converse shoes. Jinx was staring at her totallynotbecauseshethoughtshewashotnopenopeno33Please respect copyright.PENANA752nQqUwEa
Cautiously, she asked, "What's your name ma'am?" Ma'am? What is this? 1622? God that was awkward. The girl replied, "My name's Janice, but you can call me whatever you'd like."33Please respect copyright.PENANAZM31hkFg1X
Nevermind, they just made awkward eye contact. Jinx nodded, "Okay, well I'm Jinx... uhm... yeah, let's go."33Please respect copyright.PENANAfFvMWI7He7
For a bit they just walked in awkward silence, which didn't last very long. Jinx soon got bored and tapped Janice on the shoulder lightly. Janice turned to her slightly and tilted her head. Jinx asked in an attempt to make conversation, "Sooooo, what's your favorite color?"33Please respect copyright.PENANALXBsttnAhn
That question seemed to spark interest in Janice's eyes. She went on a five-minute rant about how amazing the color purple is. That's the question that started a long-lasting friendship.
