Her long, blonde hair shone in the sunlight that peeked through the clouds of an approaching storm. The smooth curtain, with all of its grandeur, covered her ethereal face and svelte figure that captivated him the first time they met, on this very beach.
Ben realized he could never get used to the sight of her, the same way he could never fathom the sea and its mysteries. It contained even more secrets that surpassed Nadia's far superior knowledge of the Earth's waters. The pair could do so much with their alike minds to unravel these secrets. But they had to fulfill an obligation first, one that Nadia felt would become the beginning of a crucial harmony between the two peoples.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGEwGyFp1t
But perhaps their hopeful intentions were folly? Ben was cynical enough to expect some forms of opposition and even corruption in response to the pair's attempts to achieve this harmony. There was some unknown reason why the world's two peoples were separate for many generations, without a single clash documented. The idea of the unknown fascinated humans since their beginnings, but also instilled fear in their minds. And fear led to an uproar that proved difficult to stop.
But the time he spent with the angelic Nadia erased some of his doubts. She not only inspired in him hope for humanity, but also invigorated a passion in him that his nineteen-year-old heart wasn't willing to let go of.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODWv45eOHe
He advanced to a spot next to where Nadia sat, her colorful tail glistening with water droplets from their brief swim moments ago. Upon hearing his movements, she turned her head and smiled at him. She stared as he took her delicate hand in his. Though she was still not accustomed to this type of gesture, he was determined to teach her more about his world, just as she was to teach him about hers.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndjm8S66w5
They gazed at the vastness that was the Pacific Ocean, the ocean-line miles upon miles away from their lines of vision. Their observations of the world they dwelled in all their lives.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFfXHCsFN6
A short moment passed until two pairs of threatening hands captured Nadia's slender arms and dragged her away from the shore.
"Nadia!" Ben got up to his feet, only to have a couple of the other men restrain him.
One of them, most likely the leader, stepped in front of Ben and took off his sunglasses, his eyes scrutinizing Ben.
"What's going on? How'd you find us?" Ben demanded, struggling to break free from the men's tight grasps.
"Cool it, son. We're just gonna take her in for some experimenting."
"That wasn't what you bastards promised!"
Before he could blink, Ben received a hard blow in the head and collapsed to the ground.
