Bailey Trace Chapter 4

While the light faded, darkness had fallen in the way of the path as they stumbled. They felt emerged by something the spirit started to look around. They felt a heaviness upon them as she could barely breathe. Grabbing out Na'mos had noticed something like no other she ghosted to it still feeling the bound with Bailey as Bailey struggled and started fading. She made it to the object as she landed. The sea weed around them had started to grasp on to Bailey Trace. It had looked as if it was shocking her. While her body convulsed Na'mos had noticed the marking of the sea upon her, as the gills started to grow around her neck. Bailey had calmed down now able to breathe.

'We made it." Na'mos had said sounding excited.

" Yeah, through the portal and now in an underwater cave." Bailey agreed." What was that?"

"The item we needed to get the marking upon your skin." she replied. " Ten more to go!"

They slowly started swimming through it felt as if a maze. All the tunnels and cave ways. A lost paradise they had started to get hungry no idea what to eat, she turned to Na'mos.

"How do you think we eat?" She laughed.

"Wait to feel, I guess?" The spirit replied.

The started to hear almost marching under ground. They were startled and slide in a creator. They looked in amazement. Her blaster was useless in the water now as they waited. They looked as of a head of a fish arms and legs from there back tentacles almost as jelly. Warriors marching in swimming formation through the cave.

"Po'Qua." Na'mos said.

"What?" Bailey trace replied.

"They are of the Po'Qua." she said again." A swimmers tribe trying to survive through the war with the Pi'Qua."

"Oh." she sighed.

"Relieved as we are we should get going." Na'mos finished.

"Let's!" Bailey replied.

The battle started as the war was hastening. The Po'Qua was ready with there stingers in the back, as the Pi'Qua had there teeth trying to bite through the electric sting letting it dissipate through the water. The one Po'Qua swam towards them fast. Bailey had seen a glimmer reach and drew a sword with weird markings upon it. Dodged and cut off the jelly stingers in mid swim. Na'mos had used her spirit to shove it into the wall side. The cave fell upon it. They had fled into the side tunnel to get past them.

"What happened to Da'mi?" Bailey said sarcastically.

"The Goddesses must have thrown us off or the portals change." Na'mos replied. "We've almost got away."

They swam faster as Bailey struck off the head of one of the Pi'Qua. The tunnel seemed endless as they made it around the corner. The map was there , but Na'mos knew the way. Bailey Trace tried to figure the markings on the sword. It had looked ancient in appearance.

"Tribal, an ancient race before the Pi' and Po' Qua." She said sadly. "The had battled the witches before, but got split amongst the seas."

"Oh." Bailey sighed.

"There is a monster we have to go by, that guards the entrance." Na'mos warned. It has the head and electricity of an eel, with the wings of a Dragon."

"What?" Bailey looked.

" The beast became trapped by the Gods in the ancient days." Na'mos went on. "Through the old war they had laid traps for the Witches, which lead to disaster. "

"How do we get past?" Bailey had asked.

"Your sword should help." Na'mos said happy that it saved time. " With stealth."

The the caves were full of wonder as they fed on duck like fish. That swam as if they were a team. They were closing in on the door as her marking started to glow in itself. They got excited out of nowhere a wing swam by them. They had almost made it out. The portal started to open before them.

"Hurry." Na'mos hollered.

"Trying." as Bailey cut the side of the beast.

The beast shot out electricity with force enough to cut the stone around. Bailey had cut the tail end off with her turn. Than bounced and torpedoed to the portal her and Na'mos went in as it swam quick the portal closed with the head in Da'mi. The portal taking it off laying it before them as they felt the heat and the gills disappeared.

"This is Da'mi." Na'mos said.

"Finally, Damn." Bailey smiled.

" Here are the enslaved on this tortured planet." Na'mos.

"Now that we have survived the fishes monarchy, we should try to help those around us." Bailey smiled.

"Noooo." Na'mos cried." They are here and like this for a reason."

"Oh." Bailey smiled ashamed.

"Never throw off balance we are passing through." Na'mos looked.

"Now on to the item." Bailey said cheerful as Na'mos looked in disbelief while attaching the now sharper sword to her side as the markings glowed in and out.
