“Sky and Water Meet” by Camille Houde

Submitted to Contest #83

It was not the first time that Eretria had been followed, nor was it going to be the last. She had purposely left the ocean and all that she knew behind for what she hoped would be a better world. As a sea spirit, Eretria’s beauty had been known in the Oceanworld for being simply stunning and radiant. Having left her home, it was now up to her fiancé, Erik, the god of the Black Sea, to get her back. Eretria had not chosen her fiancé, rather he had chosen her for her powers instead. Sea spirits were never meant to possess as much power as Ere...

Submitted to Contest #83

A lil inspo from Percy Jackson... and this is my first time writing in 3rd person... Claudia was sitting in class barely paying any attention to her teacher as she was thinking about her early days in primary school and how they used to learn a lot about Greek Mythology. She was daydreaming until she heard her name,“Claudia!” Her teacher shouted as she heard giggles all around her. “Tell me the answer to this question.”“Hm, oh ok… the answer is 2487.”“...C-Correct.” He said, quite surprised.Everyone was silent for quite a while as Claudia we...

“Fairie Princess of the Mystic Lake” by Joyce Laird

Submitted to Contest #83

Joyce LairdFaerie Princess of the Mystic Lake1955 A blue green mist surrounds her as her feet sink slightly into the bubbling foam of the shimmering rainbow reflections of the mystic lake. She smiles at the faerie prince. He loves her. She can tell. But he can't touch her because she’s now dancing on the water, always just out of his reach. She’s the beautiful, magical faerie Princess of the Lake; perfect in every detail. He tries to come to her, but she starts fading away into the mist. She slowly sinks below the foam, until only her face i...

“The world within a shell” by Maria Blackman

Submitted to Contest #83

The white gold beach curved gently along the dunes. Bobbie and her dad scanned the wet sand before their feet, watchful for shells or crabs or other marine treasures. This was the favourite part of Bobbie’s weekend. She darted forward, picking something up from the beach as the water receded over her toes. A shell; spiralling, smooth and polished by the ocean’s caresses. “What have you found, Bobbie?” She held the shell up for her dad to inspect. “That’s a good one. You could hold it up to your ear and listen to the ocean.” B...

“Prophecy of the Sea” by Simona Erminaite

Submitted to Contest #83

While growing up my mother always used to tell me a tale about a water spirit who had to fulfill a prophecy. The story went something like this: Long ago a small fraction of Moon fell into the Pacific Ocean. At the bottom of that ocean layed a body of a young noble girl that drowned in ship wreck years ago and the moon rock touched her. From this collision the dead girl was reborn in a form of a water spirit named Mira. She grew up in the seas and oceans roaming the world’s waters. Mira was immortal and for years she went from sea to sea ble...

“The Elemental Philosophy” by Shlomo Reuben

Submitted to Contest #83

They wished me unwell, always. Greetings reciprocated with recurrent splashes. I never meant any harm. And yet, they forced me to stay clear. I wished for friendships with the streams, the rivers, the ponds, the lakes, the seas, and the oceans. They seemed to calm me in unimagined ways. The past is a history long gone. But I still see hope on the horizon. The intense clouds had gathered in communion with the endless ocean that spread across the vast surface of the planet. Amid lightning and thunder stood those who would believe in me, in my ...

“My love was my curse” by Valentin Aleksandrov

Submitted to Contest #83

Humans love swimming just because they don't live in the water like I do. It's not really that interesting when you've spent 300 years underwater. I'm a mermaid. We're immortal which means I have the whole eternity to explore everything that I've already explored hundreds of times again and again. I'm a princess and yes we have a kingdom underwater. To humans we appear as Gods but to ourselves we are nothing special at all.Our kingdom is not visible for humans so they could never find us. They do,however, come nearby sometimes but they can't...

“ENTRANCED” by Victor Flute

Submitted to Contest #83

Entranced Imogene climbed the steps to the Beach Watch Office and let herself in. She put the coffee on and waited for the three volunteers to come and sign in. While she was waiting she listened to the weather forecast – another warm day with a gentle offshore breeze. She loved this summer job. Although paid the minimum wage from the beginning of May to the end of September free meals, coffee and travel expenses were included. She had inherited her parent’s home so these earnings covered all her basic costs for the year. Out of season she p...

“Boylan's Ride” by Alan Bisset-Propert

Submitted to Contest #83

Boylan’s ride ‘’Give up last.’’ Ruth’s words of wisdom echoing from many years ago whirred around in my brain. Months of fighting had come down to this one last battle and I for one was eager for it to be done. Waking up to the screeching of Soulchained as they tortured prisoners and even their own every morning had grown so boring as to be common place until you recognised the screamed voices on the wind. Durrl’s loud voice was clear the day after he was taken, tortured to prise that fucking portal open fu...

“The River Guardian ” by Vectra Mendonie

Submitted to Contest #83

A pocket of air hidden in the earth, accessible only through a water entrance, connected to a river that no sane spelunker would explore, guarded a small green aquatic being. She was four foot tall, scaled from head to toe, born two thousand years ago, and named Cassandra. She ruled over the once sparkling river that linked the kingdoms of her oceanic cousins. When she was young, her river was so clear you would swear you could dip your head under one end and see all the way to the opposite ocean. And creatures of all sorts would come and dr...

“Sea Monster” by Sasan Sedighi

Submitted to Contest #83

Though the weather bureau forecasted a calm and sunny day, dark clouds appeared on the horizon by morning, and sooner than the anglers expected, the sky cover with thick dark clouds. The sea was raving by noon and rained cats and dogs. Waves as tall as a two-story building rocked the small fishing trawler almost to a tipping point. The wind was powerful enough to lift a medium-sized man from the deck and threw him into the dark, angry waters. The four fishers stuck in the cabin and hanged to the frame to keep themselves from hitting the wall...

“Maui” by Arbi Wa

Submitted to Contest #83

“It is cursed.” “You must not let grief cloud your judgement.” “It killed my sister and my brother…it is cursed!” A sharp shout followed. The air churned with fear and evil. The soft, warm bundle screamed, kicking the floor with its tiny heels. It was lifted in the air. The darkness swirled. Two eyes glittered as they looked on him. Green, brown, black, white and finally blue swam into vision. Water splashed next to his ears. “Stop! You are endangering us all!” The figure holding the bundle hissed violently. “I...am saving ...

It wasn't too late but the big boss that had finally gotten away with the contemporary administration of hardened struck.It was on an island when the waters hustled and forced themselves into the deep airs of the hard core rock. It was as if the the fight was never going to end because non of them were going to give up at all. The birds flied high as the mountains thickened their pointed heads, that looked like there were poking the sky. They had an approach registered to the law of ruins that hindered the shock th...

“Troubled Waters” by YMK -

Submitted to Contest #83

CW: Mentions of suicide Right around April, maybe three years ago, we were sitting on the roof of our car, the old battered red Mitsubishi, parked right in the middle of the road. Friedman Avenue was void of traffic for a large majority of the time, so no one ever came to bother us while we sat there, looking up at the massive grey clouds. It had been raining for an hour, and we’d been there, motionless, for just as long. Nathan was dead silent, and back then, that was not something I thought I would ever miss. The faint sound of his breat...
