But within the years humans lived. They have achieved so much. Technology had advance enough to have a short understanding of the ocean. But many people had wondered what lived in the waters, off the shore they stood on. Some of these people pursued the very thought. <br/><br/>But those under the water had ignore the humans as they have for many years some of the Merfolks had left the sea, creating life on the shore. Some of the merfolk had left the cities to live away from it. To live alone as some had no want to be with other merfolk, but still wanted to be in the ocean. <br/><br/>Many years the tides gave legends to life in the sea. From large serpents of the sea. To simple merfolk. Technology had advanced where humans can go deeper into the water. To explore more of the ocean. Lasting in the water long. Durable metal and glass. Causing concern to the outside merfolk. That wasn't protected by the citis magic.<br/>___________________________________________________<br/><div style="text-align: right;">Xert- Mer palace- Mariana Trench<br/>California coast</div><br/><br/>The night was soon to come as Abiss had woken up as he had done at this time everyday. Right as the sun was about to set. Where it gave him time to get out from the darkness of the trench. That the city of Xert. It wasn't as large as it is now. Before it was a dot on the map. But as a couple event. It had grew covering a good sixteenth of the Mariana Trench. <br/><br/>Abiss was born in the dark. As he grew up, he had learned to be dependent on the dark. He woke up right before the sunset was his way to avoid the light. He did like exploring the oceans water. He was able to still see. But gave him head aches, while everything would be blurry. <br/><br/>Stretching out his long fin. He had pushing himself off his bed. Slowly swimming though the palace, he had plans today to go out. But he had not wanted his personal guard to catch him. As he had wanted to go on his own time. His guard wasn't the only person her was avoid. Really he was avoiding everyone. Many try to talk to him. While a few gave up, as they knew there was nothing to be said. Abiss had lost enough in his life. That they understood why he was quiet. When he was younger, he spoke a little more then he did currently.  <br/><br/>The city of Xert was made for dark water merfolk. But the Light water Merfolk moved to Xert around when the merfolk had found that life near humans, would be impossible. So they made the city bigger. It with stand all moves of the trench. Being an ocean plate sliding under the Isle aligned with the trench. <br/><br/>As they found humans were dangerous, while having short life span. It seemed futile to spend time and lives to try any peace with the humans. At times scouts would be sent out to check the progression of the humans. Merfolk from half breeds to the elfs. Had watched the humans grow more dangerously. <br/><br/>But Abiss didn't see the point of letting the humans live. They poisoned the ocean more and more. The more they lived. It made merfolk sick. If they were in, or to engulf coral or fish from the poisoned areas. It made the merfolk sick. Word of a scout recently came back. Found they had advance to be able to get further than last time they checked. Abiss mother had castes a spell in the city to be guarded by creatures and humans. <br/><br/>Abiss had made his way out of the city. Swimming out of the trench. Abiss had took his time to swim in the ocean as he knew what route to swim. As the darkness traveled. He was had his way towards Hawaii. After that, they had found himself seeing that he wanted to look at the surface he had stayed underwater as he made the sky cloudy, covering the sky with dark night clouds. <br/><br/>Hanrenia had finish checking on the new position, she had assigned soldiers to stay watch. As the humans were getting closer. An some creatures were having an immunity to the Merfolks magic. She had retired to her chambers in the palace. As she was the general. That needed to be close to the crown. The next day, she was to go to other cities to check on the status of each one. <br/><br/>Meanwhile on the surface, a woman stood on a dock. Watching, directing and signing near the ship. "Be careful, you break it. I'll break you." She yelled at someone who dropped a valuable piece of equipment. Dr. McGregor had  figure the expedition wouldn't go well. But it had just barely started. She sighed, as she had told no one the true reason why she went on these expedition. She told them, it was to learn more of the ocean as humans needed a more knowledge what swam below.<br/><br/>Once the boat was loaded, she was checked, then they were off onto the water. But it wasn't long tell a storm had welcomed them to the waters. A couple students fell sick, from the extreme movement, of the ship. Tera was a born Scottish. As they had sail back in the day. She was born to sail.</span>
