Tsunami
Nereid Grace Part Two
The Truth
The other nereid known as Katsumi too has her own small diary in which she writes her own point of view, one more clear then that of Tsunami, this excerpt is from after that Gaea removed the punishment link that she had instilled on the duo. She has written up the real truth that the other nereid is still to fully learn about, but will have to wait for a while till her punishment is over and it’s far from over yet. Writing out her new found memories while sitting at the table in the living room of the home connected to the casino known as the Dragon Rose. She shortly ponders the name of her mistress home, a combination of the symbol of her mistress and her lover who she still has to form a good opinion about. Before she starts to write she makes sure her cookies in the oven are not burning and takes them out as she notices them to be well baked. Putting them on a tray for those of the house and the guests that regularly frequent the large manor. With a good mood she returns to the table to start her writing of her point of view, unknown what the point of view of Tsunami currently is. Her looks now different from the taller nereid. While looking still mostly the same there are now more obvious differences besides the collar. Her hair shortened and loose safe for a wide band of silk worked into the hair. Her clothing now no longer a robe but a simple dress with a shawl of red around the waist. Tipped off with a pair of sturdy shoes.
“Dear diary, it’s been a confusing few days here in the DragonRose, my mind is still spinning some after having learned the truth. It’s a long story and I might as well write it up to get it all fully in a row and help me recover from this ordeal for my punishment is over… at least I hope mine is over for I know that my sisters punishment is not yet over at all. To imagine I was part of her punishment doesn’t really strike me to strange as it is. I don’t think a bigger pest then me would have been possible to my own sister, we are total opposites. Where I am dedicated she is chaotic in all manners, not willing to let her wants stay in one place but drift from new branch to new branch. She hurts a lot of people with it, I know for she has hurt me very often too with it. I love to serve, she loves to be served and it’s from this that the original problems started about fifty years ago when we were really created.
Yes dear diary, what I thought to be over two millennia of age is only half a century so far of me and Tsunami. Twin sisters from the sea of Nuyga. But we were born only about fifty years ago as mere normal nereids who were no different as any other safe that we were born as twins. Living like two happy and as more normal nymphs, frolicking and having fun. I do not really know the why and probably will not know till that Tsunami’s punishment is over, as to why we were punished. Tsunami obviously more severe then I got punished. We were given the memories of two old sirens who long ago held sway over the sea where we were born till the Leviathan finally destroyed them so long ago. It’s strange to know that I was just a normal nymph like all others.
The good of all this is that I know now that my time will not end in less than five hundred years. Meaning I can stay and serve and love my mistress for as long as possible. Nor is my death final for my spirit can be recalled by Unigo’s magic. It takes a lot off my heart now. No… I do not suddenly have a death wish now that I can be resurrected. There is something calming with knowing I never was responsible for a lot of sorrow in the past. I feel content and very eager now to continue my path of water magic to serve my mistress even better.”
The nereid closes off her book and puts it away, few knowing about the book, only Mairu and Victoria. She smiles and wanders from the house back to the casino to do her volunteer work there of cleaning it up after the day of gambling there.
