Rolling waves crashed and the rain plundered into the ocean, salty water spattering back onto the wreck of wood that was once a boat. This storm had not waned, despite your earlier judgement. Secretly, you'd known the risk when you'd set off from land, but food was scarce and the children from the orphanage were hungry. They were probably still waiting, staring out the window of the beatendown building whilst the roof was undoubtedly beginning to leak.

No matter, even if you drowned, someone would come along to provide for them. You truly hoped that. You'd make it your dying wish.

In your ears, water sloshed and drummed, like it was lulling you to sleep, but the currents tossed you to and fro unkindly still. Your eyes stung, you wanted to close them and shield them even a little from the debris swirling around. Water lurched against you, into your mouth and lungs, behind your eyelids — forcing them open. Deeper, you were fading, limbs aching as you uncoiled, vision slowly vignetting into haunting black. 

Something flicked against the distant tide, and faintly, you heard three echoing clicks. Perhaps it was death, beckoning you to its bosom.

It was a long going, wherever it was that you were going. You felt yourself being dragged along, unable to move a muscle, unable to see or even breathe. All you had was sound, sometimes muffled and sometimes clear, encapsulated by repetitive clicks that bounced around the walls of your skull. Splashing, cold water running over your skin, heavy bones, gasping — gasping as your lips felt air. It was so sudden, the wind hiemal where it whipped at you harshly, and you sputtered and coughed and choked. Oxygen. Oxygen had never been so good to you before.

A hand rubbed at your back, icy enough it cut through the numbness of everything else and brought you back to yourself. Hot tears dripped off the bridge of your nose, dotting the sand beneath you. Your chest heaved, your lungs burned, yet each time you blinked the world became clearer. You were alive.

“Oh dear, you're shaking!”

Indeed, you were. You hadn't realised before. Teeth chattering and shivers wracking from your spine to the tips of your fingers, you couldn't find the strength to speak. The entire column of your throat convulsing just to let out a weak wheeze. You wanted to at least thank the woman who'd saved you.

Your eyelids drooped and when you managed to fight them open again, she was gone. There were ripples through the ocean surface that seemed removed from the storm's doing. You wondered if she'd dived in, but that would've been impossible. 

You curled up, tired and so, so cold.

Frankly, by some miracle, you were warmer when you woke up. The daylight hit your face and you wriggled closer to its heat. A fire crackled beside you, roaring strong like it had been tended to the whole night just to ensure the storm didn't kill it. It took a lot of strength to haul yourself up, and then when you'd fully emerged from your sleepy stupor, you noticed you were dressed in completely different clothes. They were mismatched — a shirt over another shirt over a jumper — but they were dry, and layered with care.

“It's a glad thing that the weather stabilised.” Sitting on the shoreline was the woman from yesterday. You could see her clearly now that you weren't dying. “For a moment, I almost thought I'd lost you.”

She glanced at you with a smile, and it felt like your air had been stolen all over again. It dawned upon you then, enraptured by her crystalline amethyst orbs, and pointed teeth, that she wasn't human at all. You sniffled, inching closer wordlessly to confirm. There was an unnatural pallor and sheen to her skin and sure enough, the waves lapping at her waistline submerged a tail.

At your gawking, she laughed airily and flicked it above the water briefly. “Curious?” Her voice held a teasing lilt. “You can touch it if you want.”

“I can?” It's the first thing you say to her, and you notice how her eyes positively glow. She hums an affirmative, and brings her tail up again, urging you.

Against your fingers, it feels entirely smooth, and almost rubbery. You can tell the skin is thick when you press down slightly and there's no give. The end branches out into two flukes, a slightly darker grey than the rest of it.

“Are you…” you speak up, after a while of examining. You let your eyes trail up, and try not to focus much on the pretty curves of her chest now that her complete nakedness finally registers. “A dolphin?”

She seems taken aback by your question, blinking twice before her expression softens and she laughs again. The sound of it is really starting to grow on you. It's soothing.

“Something like that.” She answers, tucking a strand of platinum hair behind her ear. It's almost silver, mottled with minuscule specks of brown and blonde. The brackish waters must've caused the crimped waves, but it shined healthily. “Most people assume mermaid at first.”

“Mermaids are real?” Your brows raise in surprise.

“Well, they ought to be,” she grins, smacking your thigh lightly with her tail, “it'd be a shame to be constantly mistaken for something that doesn't exist, after all.”

“Yeah,” you agreed absently, looking out into the horizon with her, “I suppose, as a human, I wouldn't like being compared to a capybara…” You inhaled deeply. Some residual seawater from yesterday trickled in a warm stream from your ear. “Say, do you have a name?”

“Ophelia.”

feat. Ophelia

The village library wasn't, in any sense, a grand landmark. It was narrow and essentially just one shanty stacked on top of another, but it was home to vast knowledge of the deep seas surrounding. One could call it a marine biologist's dream, and also something that was valued in the way it attracted researchers and their wallets to the area.

The storm had done a number on it, and whilst the thin walls were being rebuilt and enforced with scrap sheets of rusty corrugated steel, the locals were tasked with keeping the books safe. Divided amongst those with the space to keep them, you luckily managed to get your hands on one that you'd been desperate to read since being saved that day.

You had spent your entire morning, afternoon and evening pouring over diagrams and descriptions, so insanely curious about the nature of the creature you'd met. Although she'd laughed and said with her own lips, curving beautifully into a smile that gleaned like the ocean's surface, that what she was could barely be called a woman, you disagreed. Ophelia wasn't a monster. She was more human than those that walked the land beside you. It was the kind heart beating beneath dermis and subcutis that reached out to you, and you wanted nothing more than to extend your gratitude right back towards it.

An afterglow of warmth remained in your room from the candle you had blown out, Case Studies of Mythical Hybrids and More opened to page 336, detailing the diet of a dolphin-human.

♡♡♡

The sea had calmed significantly since your last visit, yet the January cold was still biting. Ice from your lungs that billowed out into white clouds as you breathed, fogging the moonlit scene before you. You sat a ways away from the few dozen jellyfish that had been washed up onto the shore by the strong currents. Fading bioluminescence dotted in speckles against a dark night — you had no doubt you'd meet her again here.

Time was good to you, as it trickled away and brought you those serendipitous clicks in return. You could count the number clear in your mind as your eyes remained unmoving on the water, chest hitched on an exhale as patterns broke across the ocean surface. In ripples advancing towards you, Ophelia emerged like a shimmer of platinum across hazy black. Torso leaned forward over your knees, losing balance in your rush to draw closer, it was her familiar hands that steadied you. Her touch was sparking, beyond the coldness it seeped into your shoulders, you'd never felt so within yourself before.

"Fancy seeing you here, Y/N," she giggled when you melted into her embrace, "do you have a taste for the Jellies too?"

"...missed you." Your voice was muffled into her neck, not wanting to remove yourself. You were surprised she was accommodating you, even more so than the fact that she actually remembered your name.

Offering a pleasant hum of acknowledgement, clawed fingers came up to gently massage your scalp in a soothing motion before Ophelia pet your head, much like one would placate a cat. "Come now. I'm hungry," she coaxed you into reluctantly letting go.

Free from your grasp, she made to sit beside you, lugging herself up onto the shore until only the tips of her tail remained hidden beneath the glacial waters. She plucked a jellyfish right from the sands and gently wiped away the slurry that coated it, "you know Y/N, Jellies are nicest when they're fresh." Ophelia held it up to you, but your eyes were on her sweet smile more than what was in her hands. "I usually hunt them live in the deep sea, that's where they're the tastiest."

"Oh," you blinked dumbly, turning your attention to her words, "something bad must've happened for you to come to the coast to look for them, then?"

"No." Ophelia shook her head, grinning. "I just wanted an excuse to see you again."

Your heart warmed at those words, even as the winds carried the winter to you. You looked down at your hands, gloved in thick wool, and attempted to hide your blush. "I guess we were both thinking the same thing."

Laughter echoing like a melody, like velvet turned into a warm river just for your ears, Ophelia mirrored your actions in her own way, playing with the jellyfish in her lap. "It was silly of you to wait for me when it's so cold out though," she chastised, gaze softening, "you haven't even given yourself proper time to recover."

"I'm stronger than I look," you huffed proudly, "I once caught a whole tuna by myself."

Ophelia chuckled. "My, how endearing," she bumped your shoulders, "exactly the type of tough human I need in my life. I might just ask you to forage for me when I'm not feeling up to it."

"You can!" You said, getting excited all by yourself. If what you had read about their behaviour was true, this was most certainly a way of flirting for Ophelia's kind. "I'll absolutely be able to do it."

"Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves," she tittered, flinging off a tentacle from the jellyfish into the sea, "I'm in no dire need currently."

As you actively deflated, Ophelia seemed only to get more chipper, enjoying the innocent whining that ensued. Perhaps your enthusiasm was amusing to her, but that only made you happier. You had spent most of your life alone, and bar the small conversations you had with the children when you visited the orphanage, you rarely talked to anyone. This village was a quiet one; although not strangers, everyone was a ghost to you. What you felt, mindless chatter warming the night between you both, was something you had been silently wishing for, for years.

The stars twinkled on her and you saw a world light up, opal and amethyst, so prettily in her eyes. Ophelia was captivating.

You truly hoped she enjoyed your company as much as you did hers.

[salamanding]

Designed her for fun but ended up putting way too much effort into this character sheet for a character I’ll probably use for nothing.

Remember when I mentioned that somewhere that Salacia actually did befriended a Sea Creature when she was young? Well, I would like to introduce you guys to yet another New OC that has to do with the lore behind my personal take on a Roman Goddess.

This Baby Dolphin is "Lila", the Very First (and Old Best Friend) to Salacia. Why Old Best Friend? Well, because Salacia's Family had to move away, she never saw her only Dolphin Friend ever again, so sadly their friendship was short-lived.

When Salacia was around Five Years Old, she journey across the Sea on her own and went up to the surface for the very first time for she wanted to explore. During that day of going to the surface, she was fasincated by the skies and even the islands around the waters. But then, she heard a loud cry coming from the ocean as she went into the Water again for what she found was a Baby Dolphin caught in a Net. Feeling with such sympathy for the Poor One, Salacia instanly rescued the Dolphin as she grabbed a knife from the ground to cut the ropes as the Young Dolphin was set free. Nereus called out on her daughter since he was looking for her when Salacia had to run back to her family, her father was so worried to see that one his Daughters went missing but Nereus told his Daughters that it is always dangerous to go alone at a young age and that they must always wait to go freely on their own when they get Older enough.

The Next Day, Salacia went back around exploring throughout the Seas (this time, with her Family as they went on a Little Family Trip) but that is when the Young Mer-Girl finally meets the Dolphin from Yesterday again playing some music through the Seaweed. Salacia introduced herself to the Young Dolphin Girl (who was around at her Age) to herself as Lila thanked Salacia for saving her own life as she asked nicely if they would want to become Friends. Salacia agrees to this idea, only then she has to keep her own BFF a secret so that they could intereact secretly without her own Family knowing it.

Whenever Salacia would come and visit her Bestie alone, they would always have fun together (like Games, Music, and even Explore Treasures around the Ocean) since Lila's Parents are open-minded for their own Daughter to befriend a Mermaid. But not only would Salacia befriend a Dolphin, but the fact that she would also befriend other sea creatures as this friendship grew Salacia's liking towards Marine Animals even stronger which would soon lead to her into seeing the sides of Merfolk and All Kinds of Sea Creatures equally. 

When Salacia was around 8 Years Old, Fortunaley, Salacia's Parents decided that they would want to move out to a different home where they could affort a bigger house for more children. When Salacia came back after a quick play-date with her Dolphin Friend, Nereus told his Daughter that they would have to move out to find a New Home since they think it would be at least best for the lives of the Family. This whole new idea made Salacia heartbroken for she would never have to continue growing-up with her Best Dolphin Friend. When Salacia had to tell Lila the heartbreaking news, they knew that it was their last chance for their own Playdate to do together one more time until when Tomorrow when it was finally time to move out to a different Sea, Salacia and Lila had no choice when they said their own final goodbye as the Merfolk Family finally left their Old Sea Home and moved to a different place. Even as far apart as the Friend went, the Two Girls even shed a tear, knowing that for all the good times they had all these years, they even miss each other deeply and far apart from each other. Even then, would they not have to see each other as Adults again.
