"Saira... get up, Saira." I opened my eyes, only to find Noir standing over me. "Where am I? Did Eddy send me here?"10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgwK1rNVfW
"While it can be considered a dream world, it is important to note that this dream was triggered by the injection you received, rather than by that troublesome crow. Now, get up and take a good look at yourself."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFSoT2scSg
"I'm a mermaid?" I looked down in complete shock and discovered my body changed. "My arms have fins hanging from them!" I noticed I was adorned in a stunning, flowing gown of shimmering green and blue.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iTtkOqGH3
"The correct term would be Naiad, my dear. You should appreciate the fact that you possess clothing; typically, these mythical creatures are entirely bare. It is also fortunate that you do not have a tail replacing your legs, otherwise you would get nowhere around here."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIVAMXDrZX
"Is there anything you can do other than state the obvious?"10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUDsGMmvCG
"Naiads are known for their elegance and benevolence, and it is likely that they possessed refined manners, a quality that appears to be absent in a girl like yourself."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf7f5UwcH7
"That's rude!"10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd4kFS9zO0
"In order to escape the dream, you need to first enter the dream. Find the portal and go through it. That's all I can do for you, darling. Now, get exploring!"10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fzBhieXbL
Noir vanished without a trace. I traveled around the space, stepping through small puddles of water and admiring the glass walls that surrounded me. It seemed like I was inside a massive aquarium.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvudFPdPFhj
I navigated through a narrow tunnel, captivated by the colorful fish darting about, seeking refuge among the vibrant coral formations. Visiting a zoo had always been a dream of mine. My mother told me about a zoo one morning, after she chaperoned students on a field trip.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFtX6xRQcw
She spoke of the different animals she saw, and took a few pictures. I know she might've meant well in doing so, but the pictures made it even more painful, knowing I would never get to visit such a place. This dream is the best I could have. As I reached the end of the tunnel, I found the portal I was looking for.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VUTnbIPeg
