《Sad Water Sailors (Horror-adventure)》El Tritón
Advertisement
Lucas swam away from the deck for fear of being trapped and stayed floating, watching the ship sink, not really understanding what had happened...
The ship went on and on sinking to infinity and beyond; while Lucas looked at the faces of the drowned without understanding what had happened, if he understood that the ship was leaving for the spiritual world and that Poseidon had just saved his life, what he did not understand was the moment, why right now?
In the middle of the party to thank them for the good trip, when they were about to reach land, Tusha decided to sink the ship and send it to the bottom of the sea, destroying the hopes of all the survivors...
'Now the old man seems more friendly...' Lucas thought remembering the voice that saved his life, it wasn't the first time he heard it and it probably wouldn't be the last.
'Perhaps he would never help me in life, but for one of his sons to sell his soul to another god, it probably affected his pride' Lucas reflected, his real father told him that Poseidon would always take care of the children of the sea, so he was not surprised.
'Those tricks in the end were bait for fish, Taras would say…' Lucas said with some irony and pain, looking at the already distant sinking corpses. Lucas couldn't cry being under the water because his eyes were no longer human, now his eyes had no pupils and were completely white-posed.
Lucas began to swim towards the island, he didn't want to be near the ship any longer.
'How long can a few days on the boat be for me swimming... 2 more weeks?" Lucas said with a sad smile; imaginary because his face had no mouth, no nose, no ears, only eyes in a gray oval face .

His thorax was similar to that of a man, but without distinctive features such as pectorals and abs. His body had the same gray pattern as his face and got a bit bigger as he swam until he was the size of a shark, his body size would be 2-3 times smaller than mermaids.
Lucas's hand now had some sort of web between the fingers, but he had no fingers, just three claws in place like mermaids. And instead of legs he had 4 tentacles connected with membranes, also like the mermaids, but not like the ones he encountered on this trip.
The only difference between newts and mermaids in sight was their size, several distinctive depended on the gene that touched them, for example, tentacles and no tail.
Another example is that Lucas was born with eyes on his face and nothing else. The sirens that attacked them were born with only mouths, marking a difference of castes and unique abilities.
Lucas could transform and was born with that innate ability, otherwise he wouldn't be able to eat and would die. Like all newts, Lucas never managed to develop his abilities, so he could only transform into the first creature that his mother put him to eat in front of him, that is, humans, but he could only transform into that human he ate on that occasion and no other. In any case, it was only a shell, the human to which he was transformed did not need to drink or breathe, he only pretended not to be discovered and because of the discomfort caused by not doing so, in short, he insisted on his transformation.
Lucas tried to swim at a good pace with one hand and his tentacles, but it was somewhat complicated for him, he hadn't swum in a long time or left the human mode.

When Lucas was a boy, his mother told him never to swim, he had to ask other mermaids to do it for him and if they found out he was swimming, his mother would be punished. For that reason, Lucas never learned to swim well with his body, as he used to do to all the newts until they were thrown out of the house and had to do it to survive.
For this reason, Lucas was very, very slow swimming and he did not have many other options than to gradually adapt to the environment. He knew that the sea was not safe, so he tried to hurry up and look for the surface where fewer fish swim.
Fortunately, there were practically no fish swimming near the sinking ship, as if they were afraid of being caught by the goddess, so he was able to slowly swim to the surface with no problem.
'Twice I was shipwrecked... I must bring bad luck where I'm going, otherwise I don't understand what's happening' Lucas kept complaining, as he skimmed the surface, there was no need to get out either, swimming at this height would be fine or so he thought .
Lucas looked at the stars in the sky and swam in one direction, he was lucky to be careful because he had stolen the captain's maps, or rather the Seal did it and he remembered the route to Los Alamos.
It will probably take Lucas a long time to get to Los Alamos, but the vicinity of an island inhabited by humans is generally a safe zone, so he should make it there, starving from not being able to catch any fish, but get there alive at least. .
So with the speed of a turtle swimming in the water, Lucas headed for his final destination as a messenger.

Zen Chardo is just your average highschool student, at least that's what he thinks but in reality he is quietly extraordinary. Its as if he only exists when interacted with, like he has no place in reality and if it was up to him he may well have faded into obscurity if not for those closest to him. Despite the otherworldliness of these embellishments Zen is in fact human and like all humans is drawn to others, it is through these bonds that he makes his mark on the world... or should I say worlds, for this is a story of adventure and magic in another world. A young man's quest to safeguard the future of those he cares about. This is the story of Zen, the Animus Smith.

8 83dreadnaught: scifi apocalypses space marine
The year is 2044, as you might imagine technology has advanced. People are people. And the world economy is still in shambles. America experienced a full financial collapse about a decade before. Riots, rebalance, and redistribution. David was 13 when the protest massacre occurred when his mother died. Of course, the world does not rotate around a teenager. Four years of business college and two good friends and a dream of developing real power armor just to cosplay as a space marine. Of course when you got millions and no real drive for anything else after two divorces. You make it happen. All David had to look forward to was his five minutes of fame as an extra to the next Halo game presentation. They expected him to wear cheap cosplay. Instead, he brought about a million dollars of gear with him. All David expected was five minutes of fame before he turns into a bachelor shut-in for the rest of his life. Instead, the Universe got an update. Witness the rise of the Order of the Free Wardens. Witness the rise of the council of races. Witness the legend of the Dreadnaught. Greetings, I am Zalex.
